'The Benedictine Rule' is a set of precepts written by St. Benedict of Nursia around 530 AD for monks living communally under the authority of an abbot.

This rule blends spiritual guidance with practical instructions for organizing monastic life.

It emphasizes a balanced daily routine of prayer, work, and study, fostering a community centered on obedience, humility, and stability.

'The Benedictine Rule' advocates for moderation and emphasizes the importance of hospitality, charity, and care for the sick and elderly.

Its structure has had a profound influence on Western monasticism and continues to be followed by Benedictine monasteries worldwide.
