Benedictine monks are members of the Order of Saint Benedict, often referred to simply as Benedictines. They follow the Rule of St. Benedict, which emphasizes community life, prayer, and work. Benedictines are typically known for their commitment to monastic living, hospitality, and a balanced approach to spiritual and everyday life. Their monasteries often serve as centers of education and cultural preservation.
