Benedictine monks spent their time engaged in a balance of prayer, work, and study, following the Rule of St. Benedict. Their daily schedule included several hours dedicated to communal prayer and Mass, known as the Liturgy of the Hours. In addition to spiritual activities, they also participated in manual labor, agriculture, and crafts to support their monastic community, fostering self-sufficiency. Study and reflection on scripture and theological texts were also integral to their daily lives, promoting both spiritual growth and intellectual development.
The Benedict Rule, also known as the Rule of St. Benedict, is a set of guidelines for monastic life, written by St. Benedict of Nursia in the 6th century. It emphasizes a balanced approach to prayer, work, and community living, promoting obedience, humility, and stability among monks. The Rule has been influential in shaping Western monasticism, advocating for a life of moderation, discipline, and spiritual growth within a communal framework.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the name Benedict was extremely common, particularly among churchmen and monks. A famous Benedict was St Benedict of Nursia in Italy (480 to 547 AD) who wrote a Rule to govern the lives of monks in monasteries. There were many other Benedicts and the name was even adopted by Jews with the Hebrew name "Baruch", since this was difficult for Europeans to pronounce - both names mean "blessed".
