 St. Benedict July 11

St. Benedict is The founder of Western Monasticism 

And his motto was work and prayer;  

For when one works more than one prays,

One begins to rely upon oneself too much. 

And when one prays more than one works

Then one expects God to do all the work!

This is why Benedict always taught to strive for a balance between work and prayer.
