What is Benedictine monasticism? Those who follow the monastic way of life as set down in the sixth-century Rule of St. Benedict are called Benedictines. The Benedictine monk engages in the quest for God under the guidance of an abbot, or spiritual father, in a community of like-minded individuals to whom he makes a permanent commitment and with whom he spends his life in prayer and work. |
