    A new community is formed through the guidelines set in The Holy Rule of St. Benedict, one made for monks to fit into and to follow its rules strictly. The monks are held to high standards of prayer, work, and selfless service to God and their brothers in the monastery. These standards are encouraged through degrees of humility, strict prayer and song schedule, enforced selflessness and harsh yet fair punishments for those who defy the rules. These values play a role in every aspect of community life down to where they sleep and with whom they converse; there is no minuscule detail of a Benedictine monk’s life not touched by The Holy Rule of St. Benedict.…

    Monasticism is a religious way of life in which people live in seclusion, take religious vows, and follow a set of rules on how they spend their time. Men are referred to as monks and women as nuns. The common goal is to achieve greater spiritual purity by withdrawing from the distractions of the material world. People led to seek this lifestyle because they want to dedicate their lives fully to God and the work of God. They wish to be separate from society to escape the temptations of society and to seek sanctity. No money or materialistic items will be gained from becoming a monk or nun, but they gain greater riches that are only seen in the Kingdom of God in Heaven. Basil was a fourth-century monk and bishop who recognized that a rule for monks to follow in community was necessary in order to avoid excesses and guide them in their path to God. He gathered a group of young men and created his own Christian community. His rule stated to own almost nothing, eat only what is necessary, and obey the abbot of the monastery. Since then, Basil’s rule has been observed for centuries in monasteries in Greece, Palestine, and Egypt.…

In this way, the monastery improved the society by helping the unfortunate and the…
