The war and its consequences were Benedict's main focus during the early years of his pontificate.

The predecessors for the modern university were Mount St. Scholastica College, an all-women's campus established in 1923 and named for Benedict of Nursia's twin sister Scholastica, and St. Benedict's College, an all-men's campus established in 1858 and named for Benedict of Nursia, founder of modern western monasticism.

These debates apart, Benedict's arrangement probably invested the Hour of Compline with the liturgical character and arrangement which were preserved in the Benedictine Order, and largely adopted by the Roman Church.

The majority of St. Benedict's monks were not clerics, and all performed manual labour, the word conversi being used only to designate those who had received the habit late in life, to distinguish them from the oblati and nutriti.

Those miracles were instrumental in the conversion of the Reverend John Thayer, the first American Protestant clergyman to convert to Catholicism, who was resident in Rome at the time of St. Benedict's death.

The project, carried out over three months while Benedict was in summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, included the building of the new library to accommodate Benedict's 20, 000 books ( placed in exactly the same order as in his previous residence ), upgrading for electrical wiring ( 125-volt electrical outlets, phased out in Italy years prior, were replaced with 220-volt outlets ) and plumbing ( New pipes were installed to replace those " encrusted with rust and lime ").

Benedict's main achievement is his " Rule of Saint Benedict ", containing precepts for his monks.

Charlemagne had Benedict's rule copied and distributed to encourage monks throughout western Europe to follow it as a standard.

St Benedict's model for the monastic life was the family, with the abbot as father and all the monks as brothers.

Rejecting the developments the Benedictines had undergone, the monks tried to replicate monastic life exactly as it had been in Saint Benedict's time ; indeed in various points they went beyond it in austerity.

The coeducational Christ The King Prep, founded in 2007, is part of the Cristo Rey Community ; Saint Benedict's Preparatory School is an all-boys Roman Catholic high school founded in 1868 and conducted by the Benedictine monks of Newark Abbey, whose campus has grown to encompass both sides of MLK Jr. Blvd.

St. Benedict's chapter on the labour of monks is manifestly inspired by the treatise " De opere monachorum ", that has done so much towards furnishing an accurate statement of the doctrine commonly accepted in religious orders.

The number of monks at Gethsemani, however, had dropped to thirty-four by the end of Dom Benedict's tenure as Abbot.

Since Benedict's rule is still followed by Benedictine, Cistercian, and Trappist monks, John Cassian's thought still exercises influence over the spiritual lives of thousands of men and women in the Latin Church.

According to this account, the bishop of Le Mans, in western France, sent a delegation asking Benedict for a group of monks to travel from Benedict's new abbey of Monte Cassino to establish monastic life in France according to the Rule of St. Benedict.

St. Gregory the Great, in his Dialogues, tells us that she was a nun and leader of a community for women at Plombariola, about five miles from Benedict's abbey at Monte Cassino.

In Sydney, there are several altered examples of his work, namely St Benedict's, Chippendale ; St Charles Borromeo, Ryde ; the former church of St Augustine of Hippo ( next to the existing church ), Balmain ; and St Patrick's Cathedral, Parramatta, which was gutted by a fire in 1996.

Starches do not react or react very poorly with Benedict's reagent, due to the relatively small number of reducing sugar moieties, which occur only at the ends of carbohydrate chains.

Despite supportive shouts from his classmates that this one is easy and they all know this one, Bell again does not know the answer due to him being a late arrival to Saint Benedict's and not being told about the leader at Mr. Hundert's first class ( or ever taking the time to look around the classroom to study the plaque ).

However, Sapir often showed little understanding for Benedicts private thoughts and feelings, and particularly his conservative gender ideology jarred with Benedict's struggles as a female professional academic.

Returning to Benedict's house, he encounters Ganelon, who jokingly tells him that several fresh human bodies are buried in the garden.

St Benedict's Rule organises the monastic day into regular periods of communal and private prayer, sleep, spiritual reading, and manual labour – ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus, " that in all God may be glorified " ( cf.

Franz Boas, her teacher and mentor, has been called the father of American anthropology and his teachings and point of view are clearly evident in Benedict's work.

Bell's father is clearly uninterested in his son's character development while at St. Benedict's, instead telling Hundert just to teach Bell lessons so he can graduate, giving Hundert some insight into the younger Bell's upbringing.

Benedict's devoutly Catholic father, Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore, was furious at his son's apostacy.

Born the fourth of five children, at Queen Charlotte's Hospital Hammersmith, London to a British ( Barbadian / Belgian ) mother and a Nigerian father, Siffre was brought up in Bayswater and Hampstead and educated at a Catholic independent day school, St Benedict's School, in Ealing, west London.

However there is no historical evidence to support Benedict's claim, nor is there even any evidence that anyone prior to the 16th century suggested this might be the case ; the Catholic Encyclopedia concludes that there are no historical grounds for the supposition.

The path continues to ascend, and the side of the ravine, on which it runs, becomes steeper, until a cave is reached above which the mountain now rises almost perpendicularly ; while on the right, it strikes in a rapid descent down to where, in St Benedict's day, below, lay the blue waters of the lake.

Little is known of Benedict's life before his papacy.

The spirit of St. Benedict's Rule is summed up in the motto of the Benedictine Confederation: pax (" peace ") and the traditional ora et labora (" pray and work ").

The bulk of the passage, with the exception of the portions in italics, is excerpted ( with chance errors ) from a translation of chapter 61 of Benedict's Rule found in the book Select historical documents of the Middle Ages ( 1892 ), translated and edited by Ernest Flagg Henderson, and reprinted in 1907 in The Library of Original Sources, Vol.

: The supposed conflict between Benedict's and Herskovits's call for tolerance and the untolerant passion with which they called for it turns out not to be the simple contradiction so many amateur logicians have held it to be, but the expression of a perception, caused by thinking a lot about Zunis and Dahomys, that the world being so full of a number of things, rushing to judgement is more than a mistake, it is a crime.

One of the city's major landmarks is St. Joseph Catholic Church, St. Benedict's Monastery, & The College of St. Benedict.

" The classic work of this type is Ruth Benedict's study of Japan, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword.

Benedict's reagent ( also called Benedict's solution or Benedict's test ) is a chemical reagent named after an American chemist, Stanley Rossiter Benedict

Benedict's reagent is used as a test for the presence of reducing sugars.

Benedict's solution can be used to tell if there is a sugar in a substance such as glucose in starch.

To test for the presence of monosaccharides and reducing disaccharide sugars in food, the food sample is dissolved in water, and a small amount of Benedict's reagent is added.

Sucrose is thus a non-reducing sugar which does not react with Benedict's reagent.

Sucrose indirectly produces a positive result with Benedict's reagent if heated with dilute hydrochloric acid prior to the test, although after this treatment it is no longer sucrose.

Western observers have often attempted to evaluate Japanese society as well, to varying degrees of success ; one of the most well-known and controversial works resulting from this is Ruth Benedict's The Chrysanthemum and the Sword ( 1946 ).

There, Corwin meets a young woman named Dara, who tells him that she is Benedict's great-granddaughter.
