Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Memorial of St. Benedict (480-547), the father of Christian monasticism.St. Benedict was born in Nursia, Italy, in 480 and, after being educated in Rome, left the world to live as a solitary hermit at Subiaco. He organized a form of monastic life in twelve small monasteries. Under his guidance, as abbot, the monks vowed to seek God and devoted themselves to work and prayer.A few years later, St. Benedict left the district of Subiaco to found the abbey of Monte Cassino on the heights of Campania. There, he wrote his famous Rule, the monks' program of life, in which the Roman genius and the monastic wisdom of the Christian world are wonderfully combined.His rule prescribed common sense, a life of moderate asceticism, prayer, study, and work, and community life under one superior. It stressed obedience, stability, and zeal, and made the Divine Office the center of monastic life; it would affect spiritual and monastic life in the West for centuries to come.While ruling his monks (most of whom, including Benedict, were not ordained), he counseled rulers and Popes, ministered to the poor and destitute around him, and tried to repair the ravages of the Lombard invasion led by Totila.For St. Benedict, the fundamental, and even more, the sole objective of existence is the search for God: "Quaerere Deum." He knew that when the believer enters into a profound relationship with God, he cannot be content with living in a mediocre way, with a minimalist ethic and superficial religiosity.In this light, the faithful better the expression that Benedict took from St. Cyprian, and that is summarized in his Rule (IV, 21): Nihil amori Christi praeponere. Prefer nothing to the love of Christ.Associated with the life of the saint and worn on a Rosary, the Saint Benedict Medal is used by many faithful as a sacramental for spiritual protection against evil and temptation, and as a prayer of exorcism against Satan. The primary prayer associated with the Saint Benedict medal is an exorcism prayer, often represented by initials on the medal, which translates to: "May the Holy Cross be my light; May the dragon never be my guide. Begone, Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities. What you offer is evil; Drink the poison yourself!". Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Send us Fan MailA poisoned cup shatters at a blessing. A raven delivers bread in the wilderness. A young man leaves Rome's comfort behind and chooses a cave, only to become the spiritual father of Western monasticism. Saint Benedict's story is packed with vivid moments, but what grips us most is how practical his holiness feels when you look closely at the pattern underneath it: prayer, discipline, humility, and trust in divine providence. We walk through Benedict's early life and his retreat to Subiaco, where the real battle is interior. Temptation, loneliness, and spiritual warfare show up as persistent pressure, not a one-time event, and Benedict responds with steady faith and concrete practices. From there, the miraculous stories start to make sense, not as spectacle, but as signs of God's protection and mercy: the shattered cup, liberation from tormenting thoughts, food multiplied for the community, and deliverance from evil. We also explore Monte Cassino, the rise of Benedictine life, and the enduring wisdom of the Rule of Saint Benedict. Its clear, balanced guidance on prayer, work, moderation, obedience, and hospitality still speaks to modern Catholic life, whether you're raising a family, serving in a parish, or rebuilding a daily routine. If you're searching for Catholic spiritual growth that is grounded, courageous, and realistic, this is a conversation to save and return to.

Saturday of the 14th Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of St. Benedict, 480-547; born in Italy, educated in Rome, but he was disillusioned by the behavior of other students; so, he retreated to a cave deep in the mountains for spiritual seclusion; he relocated to Monte Cassino, and wrote a rule for his monks which became so popular that it helped shape the civilization and culture of Europe; Benedict is the patron saint of Europe Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 7/11/26 Gospel: Matthew 10:24-33
Benedict of Nursia (480-547) aka Saint Benedict, was an Italian monk and the founder of the Order of Saint Benedict. He is famed in the Eastern Orthodox, Protestant Lutheran, Anglican Communion, and Catholic Churches. Benedictine monks celebrate two feast days for their founder—celebrating July 11 to honor his title as Patron Saint of Europe, and observing March 21 as the day he died. His twin sister, Scholastica (480-543), founded the Benedictine nuns. Her feast day is February 10.

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Benedict, Abbot Lectionary: 388 The Saint of the day is Saint Benedict Saint Benedict's Story It is unfortunate that no contemporary biography was written of a man who has exercised the greatest influence on monasticism in the West. Benedict is well recognized in the later Dialogues of Saint Gregory, but these are sketches to illustrate miraculous elements of his career. Saint Benedict was born into a distinguished family in central Italy, studied at Rome, and early in life was drawn to monasticism. At first he became a hermit, leaving a depressing world—pagan armies on the march, the Church torn by schism, people suffering from war, morality at a low ebb. He soon realized that he could not live a hidden life in a small town any better than in a large city, so he withdrew to a cave high in the mountains for three years. Some monks chose Saint Benedict as their leader for a while, but found his strictness not to their taste. Still the shift from hermit to community life had begun for him. He had an idea of gathering various families of monks into one “Grand Monastery” to give them the benefit of unity, fraternity, and permanent worship in one house. Finally he began to build what was to become one of the most famous monasteries in the world—Monte Cassino, commanding three narrow valleys running toward the mountains north of Naples. The Rule that gradually developed prescribed a life of liturgical prayer, study, manual labor, and living together in community under a common abbot. Benedictine asceticism is known for its moderation, and Benedictine charity has always shown concern for the people in the surrounding countryside. In the course of the Middle Ages, all monasticism in the West was gradually brought under the Rule of Saint Benedict. Today the Benedictine family is represented by two branches: the Benedictine Federation encompassing the men and women of the Order of St. Benedict; and the Cistercians, men and women of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance. Reflection The Church has been blessed through Benedictine devotion to the liturgy, not only in its actual celebration with rich and proper ceremony in the great abbeys, but also through the scholarly studies of many of its members. Liturgy is sometimes confused with guitars or choirs, Latin or Bach. We should be grateful to those who both preserve and adapt the genuine tradition of worship in the Church.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Herzlich willkommen zum Gebet am Freitag.Ein junger Mann wird von seiner Familie, die ihm Großes zutraut, zum Studium nach Rom geschickt. Zunächst fühlt er sich dort gut, beginnt sein Studium und kommt gut voran. Aber dann merkt er immer mehr, dass das völlig sittenlose Leben in der Stadt ihn anwidert und er kaum noch Menschen findet, die mit ihm ein einfaches christliches Leben führen wollen.Zunächst geht er dann, sehr zum Leidwesen seiner Familie, für drei Jahre als Einsiedler in eine Höhle bei Subiaco. Sein damals erstaunlich konsequent christliches Leben zieht viele junge Leute an, und er gründet zwölf kleine Klöster für sie. 529 siedelt er nach Monte Cassino um, das schon bald zum Zentrum des Mönchtums und der religiösen Kultur wird.Dort schreibt er seine Klosterregel, in der er die beste monastische Überlieferung des Ostens und des Westens zusammenfasst. Vertrautheit mit der Heiligen Schrift und eine reiche geistliche Erfahrung verliehen ihm die Güte und Weisheit, die auch seine Regel auszeichnen.Da heißt es zum Beispiel: „Wenn wir Psalmen singen, dann soll unser Herz mit dem gesungenen Wort zusammenklingen.“ Also nicht der schöne Klang ist wichtig, wenn unser Herz weit davon weg ist, was wir singen oder beten. Oder: „Keiner soll nach dem eigenen Nutzen streben, vielmehr soll jeder auf das bedacht sein, was für den andern gut ist.“Das klingt also seit eineinhalb Jahrtausenden wie die Mahnung John F. Kennedys aus dem Anfang der 1960er Jahre: „Frag nicht, was der Staat für Dich tun kann, sondern was Du für den Staat tun kannst. Diese uralte Klosterregel ist so klug und weise, dass sie seit 1500 Jahren Bestand hat und Zehntausende von Mönchen und Nonnen nach ihr leben. Klugheit und Maß sind auch heute Wertmaßstäbe, die das Leben der Einzelnen, aber auch der Gemeinschaften bestimmen können. Und es hat nichts von seiner Aktualität verloren.Und weil dieser junge Mann, den man später Benedikt von Nursia nennen wird, in der Nachfolge Jesu zunächst aus der verheißungsvollen Stadt und der Universitätskarriere flieht und in für ihn richtiger christlicher Weise leben will, zieht er so viele Menschen in seinen Bann, dass er und seine Brüder den christlichen Glauben, Kunst und Kultur Europas prägen und beeinflussen werden und er so von Pius XII. zum „Vater Europas“, von Paul VI. zum „Schutzpatron Europas“ erklärt wird. Das ist doch mal eine Karriere.
8 czerwca 1946 roku Londyn świętował zwycięstwo nad III Rzeszą. Przez ulice miasta maszerowali Amerykanie, Kanadyjczycy, Australijczycy, Francuzi, Hindusi, Brazylijczycy, żołnierze z Afryki i Bliskiego Wschodu. Była to jedna z największych parad wojskowych XX wieku.Zabrakło jednak tych, którzy pięć lat wcześniej bronili nieba nad Anglią. Nie było zdobywców Monte Cassino, żołnierzy Maczka, Andersa i Sosabowskiego. Nie było Polaków.Dlaczego kraj, który walczył z Hitlerem od pierwszego do ostatniego dnia wojny, nie znalazł miejsca na Paradzie Zwycięstwa? Czy Brytyjczycy zdradzili swoich polskich sojuszników? A może prawda była znacznie bardziej skomplikowana?W tym odcinku przejeżdżamy trasą słynnej londyńskiej defilady, analizujemy dokumenty, wspomnienia uczestników i kulisy politycznych decyzji, które doprowadziły do jednej z najbardziej kontrowersyjnych sytuacji w powojennej historii Polski.JAK WSPIERAĆ KANAŁ:
¿Y cómo es Dios?, preguntaba el niño Tomás de Aquino al abad de Montecassino. No sabemos qué contestó el abad, pero nosotros podríamos decirle: Dios es uno en esencia y trino en Personas. Es el mayor de todos los secretos, la más inaccesible de las verdades reveladas. Estamos muy felices de conocer esa verdad, vislumbrando la esencia de Dios como amor.
Spolupracovník Postoja Andrej Žiarovský a redaktor Lukáš Krivošík rozoberajú v našej vojensko-historickej relácii bitku o Monte Cassino, ktorá prebiehala od januára do mája 1944. Starobylé benediktínske opátstvo sa nachádzalo na línii, ktorú Nemci bránili, aby sa spojenci nedostali do Ríma. Bombardovanie opátstva patrí ku kontroverzným rozhodnutiam druhej svetovej vojny. Na druhej strane, vojnové operácie mali medzinárodný charakter. Okrem Britov a Američanov tu bojovali proti Nemcom aj Indovia, nepálski Gurkovia, Francúzi a vojaci z ich severoafrických kolónií. Bitky sa zúčastnili tiež vojaci z Poľska. Pozoruhodná je úloha, ktorú zohral ich maskot, medveď Wojtek. Popri pôsobení 2. poľského armádneho zboru na talianskom fronte sa v závere dotkneme tiež bitky o Mont Ormel na francúzskom fronte druhej svetovej vojny, ktorého sa zúčastnil 1. poľský zbor po vylodení v Normandii.
Panowie Michał Krzemiński i Piotr Czyż z Aeroklubu Warszawskiego opowiadają o lotniczym rajdzie na Monte Cassino, o przygotowaniach do wyprawy, przelocie nad klasztorem i o tym, jak połączyli pasję do latania z pamięcią o polskich bohaterach wojennych. To także rozmowa o historii Aeroklubu Warszawskiego, który za rok obchodzi stulecie istnienia.
Danuta i Jerzy Gulanowscy wspominają Tadeusza Gulanowskiego - żołnierza armii Andersa, który przeszedł Syberię, szlak 2. Korpusu i został ranny pod Monte Cassino. To opowieść nie tylko o wojnie, ale też o trudnym powrocie do Polski, pamięci rodzinnej i losie człowieka, którego życie naznaczyła historia. Dzięki ich wspomnieniom Monte Cassino widać tu z perspektywy jednej konkretnej rodziny.
Katarzyna Nowicka opowiada o kapitanie Alfredzie Kuczuk Pileckim - oficerze Wojska Polskiego, który po kampanii 1939 roku przeszedł przez internowanie, ucieczki z niewoli i szlak prowadzący aż do walk we Włoszech. Wspomnienie o nim przywołuje członkini rodziny, która dziś odwiedza jego grób na Monte Cassino i rekonstruuje jego losy z ocalałych listów, rodzinnych opowieści i wojennych śladów. To historia żołnierza 2. Korpusu, który zginął pod Piedimonte San Germano, próbując ratować swojego podkomendnego. Ale to także opowieść o pamięci, która po latach prowadzi do odnalezienia bliskich, odbudowania zerwanych więzi rodzinnych i przekazywania tej historii następnym pokoleniom. Ten odcinek pokazuje Monte Cassino nie tylko jako miejsce wielkiej bitwy, ale też jako przestrzeń bardzo osobistej, rodzinnej pamięci.
Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un oso pardo sirio llamado Wojtek fue adoptado por soldados polacos del II Cuerpo y terminó convirtiéndose en uno más dentro de la unidad. Acompañó a las tropas en su recorrido por Oriente Próximo e Italia, y su historia se hizo célebre por su ayuda en el transporte de cajas de munición durante la batalla de Montecassino. Más allá de la anécdota, su caso simboliza el vínculo afectivo y moral que puede surgir incluso en medio de la guerra. Y descubre más historias curiosas en el canal National Geographic y en Disney +.

W najnowszym podcaście historycznym Przystanku Historia na „Wszystko co Najważniejsze” naszym gościem jest Adam HLEBOWICZ z Biura Edukacji Narodowej IPN. Rozmawiamy o rocznicy bitwy o Monte Cassino i Melchiorze Wańkowiczu.
Ugo Rosenberg, son of Kurt Rosenberg, tells the story of his father, who fought in the 2nd Polish Corps. The story begins with his father's escape from a train deporting Poles from Lwów to the East. The difficult times in which he lived did not change his attitude, which can truly be described as patriotic.
Grzegorz Mandera, bratanek ppor. Fryderyka Mandery, opowiada historię młodego Ślązaka, harcerza i polskiego patrioty spoczywającego na Polskim Cmentarzu Wojennym na Monte Cassino. Wspomina jego dzieciństwo w Gliwicach i Mikołowie, zaangażowanie w harcerstwo, studia w Krakowie oraz służbę wojskową, która po wybuchu II wojny światowej prowadzi go przez sowiecką niewolę do Armii gen. Andersa. Fryderyk Mandera trafia następnie z 2. Korpusem Polskim na front włoski, gdzie bierze udział w bitwie o Monte Cassino. Ginie 12 maja 1944 roku podczas patrolu bojowego, mając 29 lat. To opowieść o pamięci rodzinnej, patriotyzmie i cenie, jaką polscy żołnierze zapłacili za drogę do wolności.
Ugo Rosenberg syn Kurta Rosenberga opowiada historię ojca, który walczył w 2. Korpusie. Historia zaczyna się od ucieczki jego ojca z pociągu, którym wywożono Polaków ze Lwowa na Wschód. Trudne czasy w jakich przyszło mu żyć, nie zmieniły jego postawy, którą można nazwać prawdziwie patriotyczną.

Czego biznes może nauczyć się o projektach od NGO - lekcje z fundacji 140 podopiecznych rozsianych po całej Polsce. Zero możliwości "po prostu pojechać i sprawdzić". Budżet, który trzeba zdobywać na konkurencyjnym rynku dobroczynności. I misja, przy której nie ma miejsca na błędy. Magdalena Pawlak - prezeska Fundacji Dorastaj z Nami, psycholog z ponad 14-letnim stażem w zarządzaniu organizacją - opowiada, jak prowadzić projekty w warunkach, gdzie brakuje wszystkiego: czasu, struktur, pieniędzy. I jak mimo to dowoziła wyniki. W tym odcinku rozmawiamy o tym, co fundacje i firmy mają ze sobą więcej wspólnego, niż myślisz - i gdzie obie strony popełniają te same błędy.

#Historia #Historiamilitar #SegundaGuerraMundial En este episodio de Bellumartis Historia Militar, contamos con el profesor David Odalric de Caixal i Mata, experto en historia militar contemporánea y director del master de Historia Militar del @iniseg , para analizar una de las batallas más sangrientas y decisivas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial: Montecassino (1944). Durante cuatro ofensivas sucesivas, las fuerzas aliadas se enfrentaron al ejército alemán atrincherado en la Línea Gustav, con el majestuoso monasterio benedictino de Montecassino dominando el valle del Liri. A través de esta conversación, exploraremos la estrategia de ambos bandos, el sacrificio de las unidades polacas, indias, francesas y estadounidenses, y el papel crucial de la 1ª División Paracaidista alemana, los llamados “Leones de Montecassino”. Hablaremos también de la controvertida destrucción del monasterio, los errores de mando aliados, el valor de las tropas de montaña del Cuerpo Expedicionario Francés y la épica bandera polaca ondeando finalmente sobre las ruinas. Una historia de valor, tragedia y determinación, donde el arte, la fe y la guerra se cruzaron en el corazón de Italia.

His name, Benedictus, means "Blessed" in Latin. He was born in 480 in Nursia, a small town northeast of Rome. He had only rudimentary schooling: he wrote later of his fear that through book-learning he might 'lose the great understanding of my soul.' At an early age he fled to a monastery where he was tonsured; he then withdrew to a remote mountain, where he lived or several years in a cave, perfecting himself in prayer. His only food was some bread brought to him by Romanus, the monk who had tonsured him. When he became known in the area, he fled his cave to escape the attentions of the pious; but flight proved useless, and in time a community of monks formed around him. He was granted many spiritual gifts: he healed the sick and drove out evil spirits, raised the dead, and appeared in visions to others many miles away. Benedict founded twelve monasteries, most famously that at Monte Cassino. Initially, each monastic house had twelve monks, to imitate the number of the Twelve Apostles. The Rule that he established for his monks was based on the works of St John Cassian and St Basil the Great, and became a standard for western monasteries. Thus he is sometimes called the first teacher of monks in the West. Six days before his death, the Saint ordered that his grave be opened, gathered all his monks together, gave them counsel, then gave his soul back to God on the day that he had predicted. At the moment of his death, two monks in different places had the same vision: they saw a path from earth to heaven, richly adorned and lined on either side with ranks of people. At the top of the path stood a man, clothed in light and unspeakably beautiful, who told them that the path was prepared for Benedict, the beloved of God. In this way, the monks learned that their abbot had gone to his rest.
A participação da Itália na Segunda Guerra Mundial abriu um dos teatros mais complexos do conflito, marcado por campanhas no Norte da África, nos Bálcãs e, sobretudo, pela transformação do próprio território italiano em campo de batalha a partir de 1943. Após anos de alinhamento com a Alemanha nazista, o regime de Mussolini entrou em colapso diante de derrotas militares e da invasão aliada, levando à deposição do ditador, ao armistício com os Aliados e à ocupação alemã do norte da Itália. O país mergulhou então em uma guerra civil que opôs forças fascistas remanescentes, partisans antifascistas e exércitos estrangeiros, enquanto combates intensos como os de Monte Cassino e a lenta subida pela Península revelavam a dificuldade estratégica daquele front. O caso italiano expõe as ambiguidades de um regime que começou como potência do Eixo e terminou dividido, ocupado e devastado. É nesse teatro que os brasileiros atuaram. Convidamos Wilson de Oliveira Neto para examinar as diferentes fases do front italiano na Segunda Guerra Mundial, os interesses estratégicos em disputa, a participação do Brasil, o colapso do fascismo e as consequências políticas e sociais desse conflito para a Itália do pós-guerra.Instagram: @iclesrodriguesAdquira o curso História: da pesquisa à escrita por apenas R$ 49,90 CLICANDO AQUIAdquira o curso A Operação Historiográfica para Michel de Certeau por apenas R$ 24,90 CLICANDO AQUIAdquira o curso O ofício do historiador para Marc Bloch por apenas R$ 29,90 CLICANDO AQUIColabore com nosso trabalho em apoia.se/obrigahistoriaEssa é a hora de ser novo cliente INSIDER.

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Scholastica, Virgin Lectionary: 330 The Saint of the day is Saint Scholastica Saint Scholastica's Story Twins often share the same interests and ideas with an equal intensity. Therefore, it is no surprise that Scholastica and her twin brother, Benedict, established religious communities within a few miles from each other. Born in 480 of wealthy parents, Saint Scholastica and Benedict were brought up together until he left central Italy for Rome to continue his studies. Little is known of Scholastica's early life. She founded a religious community for women near Monte Cassino at Plombariola, five miles from where her brother governed a monastery. The twins visited each other once a year in a farmhouse because Scholastica was not permitted inside the monastery. They spent these times discussing spiritual matters. According to the Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great, the brother and sister spent their last day together in prayer and conversation. Scholastica sensed her death was close at hand and she begged Benedict to stay with her until the next day. He refused her request because he did not want to spend a night outside the monastery, thus breaking his own Rule. Scholastica asked God to let her brother remain and a severe thunderstorm broke out, preventing Benedict and his monks from returning to the abbey. Benedict cried out, “God forgive you, Sister. What have you done?” Saint Scholastica replied, “I asked a favor of you and you refused. I asked it of God and he granted it.” Brother and sister parted the next morning after their long discussion. Three days later, Benedict was praying in his monastery and saw the soul of his sister rising heavenward in the form of a white dove. Benedict then announced the death of his sister to the monks and later buried her in the tomb he had prepared for himself. Reflection Saint Scholastica and Benedict gave themselves totally to God and gave top priority to deepening their friendship with him through prayer. They sacrificed some of the opportunities they would have had to be together as brother and sister in order better to fulfill their vocation to the religious life. In coming closer to Christ, however, they found they were also closer to each other. In joining a religious community, they did not forget or forsake their family but rather found more brothers and sisters.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint Thomas Aquinas Saint Thomas Aquinas' Story By universal consent, Saint Thomas Aquinas is the preeminent spokesman of the Catholic tradition of reason and of divine revelation. He is one of the great teachers of the medieval Catholic Church, honored with the titles Doctor of the Church and Angelic Doctor. At five Saint Thomas Aquinas was given to the Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino in his parents' hopes that he would choose that way of life and eventually became abbot. In 1239, he was sent to Naples to complete his studies. It was here that he was first attracted to Aristotle's philosophy. By 1243, Thomas abandoned his family's plans for him and joined the Dominicans, much to his mother's dismay. On her order, Thomas was captured by his brother and kept at home for over a year. Once free, Saint Thomas Aquinas went to Paris and then to Cologne, where he finished his studies with Albert the Great. He held two professorships at Paris, lived at the court of Pope Urban IV, directed the Dominican schools at Rome and Viterbo, combated adversaries of the mendicants, as well as the Averroists, and argued with some Franciscans about Aristotelianism. His greatest contribution to the Catholic Church is his writings. The unity, harmony, and continuity of faith and reason, of revealed and natural human knowledge, pervades his writings. One might expect Thomas, as a man of the gospel, to be an ardent defender of revealed truth. But he was broad enough, deep enough, to see the whole natural order as coming from God the Creator, and to see reason as a divine gift to be highly cherished. The Summa Theologiae, his last and, unfortunately, uncompleted work, deals with the whole of Catholic theology. He stopped work on it after celebrating Mass on December 6, 1273. When asked why he stopped writing, he replied, “I cannot go on…. All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.” He died March 7, 1274. Reflection We can look to Thomas Aquinas as a towering example of Catholicism in the sense of broadness, universality, and inclusiveness. We should be determined anew to exercise the divine gift of reason in us, our power to know, learn, and understand. At the same time we should thank God for the gift of his revelation, especially in Jesus Christ.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Pope Victor III is undeniably a significant historical figure, but has the unusual honour of being more famous for his pre-papal life! In his episode, we discuss the Golden Age of Montecassino, regifting stolen goods, the ultimate dilly-dallying, and only briefly lament for him that we are not rating abbots.
