2 A WORD FROM FR. IVAN Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Too Much Haste! "Where does God live?" asked the Rabbi of his disciples as they sat around the table for dinner. The disciples were surprised at their master! Such an obvious question. Everyone knows that God is everywhere. So nobody answered. The Rabbi seemed to be talking to himself as he mumbled, "where does God live? God lives wherever we let Him enter." We live in a crazy society. Always running around and around in circles. We do not seem to know how to stop this absurd race against time. Everyone is busy, everyone grumbles that he has no time to do anything... Work, school, jogging, workshops, housework, television, church, homework, computer, laundry, cooking, kids, meetings... Burnt out! Tired! Jaded! I was watching recently this group of scientists talking on television about their experience on an expedition in the forests of the Amazon. They took a group of natives with them to carry their luggage - clothes, food, water, scientific equipment. The first week, all went well. They were moving quickly and were happy that their plans were running on schedule. Suddenly, however, the natives put down the loads they were carrying on their heads, sat down, and would not move. The scientists could not understand this behavior. They natives refused to speak. They tried to reason things out, they offered them more money, they threatened them, they even tried to move them forcibly. All was in vain. The natives remained seated and silent. Two days later, however, without a cue, they got up, lifted their loads, and began the journey again as if nothing had happened! When the expedition was over, these scientists asked the natives the reason for their strange behavior. Their answer was simple and forthright, "We were hurrying too much. So much... that our spirits could not reach us! So we stopped so our spirits could catch up with us!" How smart! "We were hurrying too much!" Perhaps the time has come for you to recuperate your mental energies. Otherwise you risk becoming more and more frantic with this constant work, work, work of yours. The time has come for us to reclaim our inner silence. Today as you are returning from work, stop by a quiet Church and spend ten minutes sitting in front of Jesus. No need to say much. Just look at Him. Or else go outside, find a park, a quiet place, and spend some minutes looking up at the heavens... Just smile at Him. Otherwise you may finish up praying like that man who was heard saying, "O God, if there is a God, save my soul, if I have a soul!" God bless! Wishing you a Sunday. Fr. Ivan Sant FrIvanSant@churchofstbernard-stp.org Page 2 St. Bernard

5 LIFE OF ST. BENEDICT FEAST DAY JULY 11 EARLY LIFE NORCIA Saint Benedict was born at Norcia around 480 AD. That historical time frame, a mere four years before the Western Roman Empire formally fell by the deposition of the last Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was quite difficult. After attending primary schools in Norcia, Benedict went to Rome to broaden his knowledge of literature and law. However, since he was probably disgusted by the dissolute lifestyle of his peers and by Rome s difficult political situation, he retired to Affile with a group of priests, taking his old nurse with him as a servant. At Affile, Saint Benedict worked his first miracle, restoring to perfect condition an earthenware wheat sifter which his man -servant had accidentally broken. The notoriety which this miracle brought drove Benedict to withdraw further from social life. He took shelter in a cave in the ruins of Nero s village, near Subiaco, where he began to live as a hermit. Immersed in loneliness, his only contact with the outside world was with a monk called Romanus, whose monastery was nearby. He gave Saint Benedict a monk s habit and provided for his spiritual and material needs. Three solitary years followed. Some shepherds befriended Benedict. They began to follow his teachings and the pastoral and apostolic principles of the Benedictine Order took root. FOUNDING MONASTERIES SUBIACO After resisting a strong temptation against chastity, Benedict prepared to live through a new experience, following the example of the ancient Fathers of Christian Monasticism. At first, the community of Vicovaro wanted him as its Abbot, but the failed attempt of a monk to poison him forced Benedict to return to his solitude. Afterwards, he founded twelve monasteries and assigned twelve monks to each of them. In addition, he founded a thirteenth monastery for novices and those needing education. Benedict s fame spread so rapidly, even in Rome, that two illustrious men, Equizius and the nobleman Tertullus, entrusted him with their two sons, Maurus and Placidus. They were to become the first two gems of the Benedictine family. During his life, Saint Benedict performed many miracles. He found water on a desolate mountaintop to quench the thirst of his monks. He retrieved a bill hook s iron from the bottom of a lake and rejoined its handle. He prevented a monk from leading a dissolute life through intervention. In addition, he made Maurus walk on water to save the young Placidus from drowning. Unfortunately, a priest called Florentius was envious of Benedict s popularity and his envy forced the Saint to depart in spite of insistence from his disciples. After leaving Subiaco, Benedict went towards Cassino. In the period between 525 and 529 AD he founded the Abbey of Montecassino. It would become the most famous abbey in continental Europe. Under Benedict s direction, the old acropolis-sanctuary towering above the declined Roman municipium of Casinum was turned into a monastery that was much bigger than those built at Subiaco. On the remains of the altar of Apollo he built a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, while the temple of Apollo itself was turned into an oratory for the monks which was dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours. MONASTIC LIFE TAKES ROOT MONTECASSINO At Montecassino Saint Benedict displayed prodigious activity. He supervised the building of the monastery, established a monastic order and performed many miracles. He brought back from death a youngster, miraculously supplied the monastery with flour and oil in its time of need and displayed the gift of prophecy. In autumn of 542 AD, while the Goth King Totila was passing through Cassino en route to Naples to attack it, he decided to test Saint Benedict because he had already heard of his gifts and charisms. As a consequence, Totila sent his squire dressed as a king to greet the monk; but Saint Benedict soon unmasked him. When he finally met Totila, he warned him with a dire prediction: You have hurt many and you continue to do it, now stop behaving badly! You will enter Rome, you will cross the vast sea, you will reign for nine years; however in the tenth year, you will die. And that is exactly what happened. Saint Benedict showed the same virtue as he cried bitterly when confronted wiht the vision of the first destruction of his monastery. Notwithstanding, he received from God the grace to save all the monks. Saint Benedict devoted himself to evangelizing the local population who practiced pagan worship. Shortly before he died, Saint Benedict saw the soul of his sister Saint Scholastica rising to heaven in the form of a dove. This vision happened a few days after their last talk together at the foot of Montecassino. In a vision, Benedict saw the soul of Bishop Germanus of Capua taken by angels in a fire globe. These visions, for Pope Saint Gregory the Great, showed a close union between Benedict and God, a union so intense that the Saint was given the share of an even more magnificent vision, the whole of creation as gathered in a sunbeam. In the end, a life so noble was justifiably followed by a much-glorified death. According to tradition, Saint Benedict died on March 21, 547 AD. He foresaw his coming death, informing his close and faraway disciples that the end was near. Six days before dying, he had the grave which he was to share with his deceased sister Saint Scholastica, opened. Then, completely exhausted, he asked to be taken into his oratory where, after taking his last Holy Communion, he died supported by his monks. St. Paul, Minnesota Page 5
