DEAR FRIENDS, IN MY SECOND BLOG, NAMED WILHELMUSBLOG ,I WISH TO ELABORATE ON THE DEVELOPMENTS OF MONKS MAINLY IN EUROPE AND IN THE PHILIPPINES,MY SECOND HOMECOUNTRY.(permanently).
My story starts with the BENEDICT MEDAILLON ,IN WHICH BENEDICT HAS PUT THE CROSS, THE RULES FOR MONKS, AND HIS LIFE EXPERIENCES, BEING THE BIRD WHICH HELPS HIM TO PUT AWAY POISENED BREAD, AND THE BASKET WHICH IS BROKEN BEFORE HE CAN DRINK POISENED WINE.the text says ejus in obitu nostro presentia muniamur.
BENEDICTUS IS THE FOUNDER OF WESTERN MONASTICISM, HE LIVED FROM 480 TO 547 AD Christ.
in his rules for monks,Saint Benedict expresses deep desire to seek God in the community life of a monastery.The Monastic way of life= austerity,sincerity,silence,and chastity=celibate life-style.
