Saint Benedict, Abbot
Memorial

“There was a man of venerable life, Benedict by name and grace, who from the time of his very childhood carried the heart of an old man. His demeanour indeed surpassing his age, he gave himself no disport or pleasure, but living here upon earth he despised the world with all the glory thereof, at such a time as he might have most freely enjoyed it.”[1]

St. Benedict was born circa 480 in Nursia, Italy. Born to affluent parents, he was educated in Rome. Disillusioned by the other students’ behavior, Benedict retreated to a cave deep in the mountains for spiritual seclusion. In these formative years, St. Benedict overcame the ‘three fundamental temptations’ of self-importance, lust, and anger. A large community of followers grew up around him.
He relocated to Monte Cassino, an imposing plateau over the vast plains, symbolizing his desire to make monastic living a witness to the surrounding world. St. Benedict wrote a rule for his monks and it was so popular it helped shape the civilization and culture of Europe. St. Benedict is the Patron Saint of Europe as proclaimed by Paul VI in 1964.

Let us "sanctify our day" by praying the Liturgy of the Hours.

The Liturgy of the Hours (Latin: Liturgia Horarum) or Divine Office (Latin: Officium Divinum) or Work of God (Latin: Opus Dei) or canonical hours,often referred to as the Breviary,is the official set of prayers "marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer".It consists primarily of psalms supplemented by hymns, readings and other prayers and antiphons. Together with the Mass, it constitutes the official public prayer life of the Church. The Liturgy of the Hours is the prayer of the whole People of God. In it, Christ himself “continues his priestly work through his Church.” His members participate according to their own place in the Church and the circumstances of their lives. The laity, too, is encouraged to recite the divine office either with the priests, among themselves or individually.

Let us join the Universal Church in praying the Divine Office.
.
Amid coronavirus outbreak, with many people unable to attend Mass and isolated in their homes, Divine Office is inviting us to join in prayer. We hope more brothers and sisters will find spiritual nourishment, strength, and consolation in praying the Liturgy of the Hours as we all go through these difficult, uncertain times.

We pray that this COVID19 come to end and for world peace.
