BENEDICT OF NURSIA (March 14)<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Theodosius</strong> Orthodox <strong>Cathedral</strong> <strong>Ambo</strong> - Page 1
<strong>St</strong>. Benedict was born at Nursia, in Italy, around 470 A.D. Sent to school in Rome, he soon fled the worldliness of life<br />
in the city, abandoning his secular studies to become a monk. Although he first lived with a "company of virtuous<br />
men," soon a miracle the holy man performed, fixing a broken vessel, attracted attention. He fled once again and took<br />
up residence in a mountain cave at Subiaco, near the site of a villa built by Nero. Here <strong>St</strong>. Benedict lived in continual<br />
prayer and asceticism for three years. Eventually, God allowed his fame to spread once again, and he was asked by a<br />
nearby community of monks to become their abbot. The saint reluctantly agreed. However, the men rebelled against<br />
his ascetic directions and attempted to poison him. <strong>St</strong>. Benedict was unharmed, because as he made the sign of the<br />
cross over the poisoned drink, the cup shattered. He returned to his cave. Gradually individuals began to come to live<br />
near him at Subiaco, and in the end <strong>St</strong>. Benedict built twelve monasteries for these spiritual children, living himself at a<br />
thirteenth. <strong>St</strong>. Gregory notes a tradition that <strong>St</strong>. Benedict had a sister, <strong>St</strong>. Scholastica, who became a nun at one of<br />
his communities, and a famous story has her praying for a rainstorm on one occasion so as to enjoy more time in<br />
spiritual fellowship with her brother. Three days later, she died. <strong>St</strong>. Benedict saw her soul rising to heaven "in the likeness<br />
of a dove," and had her buried in his own tomb. (<strong>St</strong>. Scholastica is remembered on February 10.) After receiving<br />
the Eucharist, <strong>St</strong>. Benedict reposed in the oratory of his monastery, his arms lifted in prayer, in the year 543.<br />

Apropos Great Lent, we have a project that we are hoping you will<br />
support. We are asking that you donate clean, white, men's dress shirts (good used, or<br />
new, ANY size) for use at the <strong>St</strong>okes Academy of the Cleveland School system. Russell<br />
Carleton has made us aware of a project targeting African-American boys, and the shirts<br />
are a part of an attempt to remove these youths from a negative culture that may be the<br />
only one they know. Russell can answer further questions on this, and shirts can be given<br />
to him or Daniel Morris. As the hymn says, "Let us give alms"; here's an opportunity.<br />
Thank you for your help; this will run through April 5.<br />
