Saint Benedict of Nursia is known for promoting a balanced monastic life that combines both manual work and study. In his Rule, he emphasized the importance of ora et labora, meaning "pray and work," as essential elements of the monastic way of life. Monks were encouraged to engage in both intellectual study and physical labor as a way to cultivate a holistic approach to spiritual growth and development.
