ʻO ka mōʻaukala o San Benedetto
He mea pōʻino ʻole inā ʻaʻohe moʻomeheu o kēia manawa i kākau ʻia e kahi kanaka nāna i hoʻohana i ka mana nui o ka monasticism ma ke Komohana. ʻIke ʻia ʻo Benedetto i nā kūkākūkā ma hope mai o San Gregorio, akā he mau mea kuhihewa nei e hōʻike i nā mea mana o nā hana.
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Benedict i loko o kahi ʻohana hanohano ma waena o Italia, ua aʻo ʻia ma Roma a ua ʻume ʻia i ka monasticism i kona wā e ola ana. I ka manawa mua lilo ʻo ia i hermit, e waiho nei i kahi honua kaumaha: nā pūʻali koa pagan i ka huakaʻi, ua wāwahi ʻia ka hale pule e ka schism, ka poʻe e ʻeha nei i ke kaua, ka nohona ma kahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa.
Ua ʻike koke ʻo ia ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke noho i kahi ola hūnā ʻia i kahi kaona liʻiliʻi ma mua o ke kūlanakauhale nui, no laila ua hoʻi ʻo ia i kahi ana ma luna o nā kuahiwi no ʻekolu mau makahiki. Ua koho kekahi mau mōneka iā Benedict i alakaʻi no kekahi manawa, akā ua ʻike ʻo ia i kona ʻoʻoleʻa e like me kā lākou makemake. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻomaka ka hoʻololi ʻana mai hermit i ke ola kaiāulu nona. Ua loaʻa iā ia ka manaʻo o ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana i nā ʻohana mōneka hoʻokahi i hoʻokahi "Monastery Nui" e hāʻawi iā lākou i ka pōmaikaʻi o ka lokahi, ka hoahānau a me ka hoʻomana mau i ka hale hoʻokahi. Ma ka hopena ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e kūkulu i ka mea e lilo i hoʻokahi o nā mōneka kaulana loa ma ka honua: ʻo Monte Cassino, ka mea i noho aliʻi ma luna o nā awāwa ʻekolu i hele i nā kuahiwi ma ka ʻākau o Napela.
Ua kau ka lula hoʻomohala lohi i kahi ola o ka pule liturhika, ke aʻo ʻana, ka hana lima ʻana a me ka noho pū ʻana i ke kaiāulu ma lalo o kahi ʻāpana nui. ʻIke ʻia ʻo Benedictine asceticism no kāna kaohi a ua hōʻike mau ke aloha Benedictine i ka hopohopo no nā poʻe ma nā kaona kokoke. I ka wā waena, ua lawe haʻahaʻa ʻia nā monasticism āpau ma ke Komohana ma lalo o ke kānāwai o St. Benedict.
I kēia lā ua hōʻike ʻia ka ʻohana Benedictine e nā lālā ʻelua: ʻo ka Benedictine Federation i komo pū me nā kāne a me nā wahine o ke Kauoha o St. Benedict, a me nā Cistercians, nā kāne a me nā wahine o ka Cistercian Order of Strict Observance.
Hōʻikeʻike
Ua hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia ʻia ka Ekalesia ma o Benedictine kūloko i ka liturgy, ʻaʻole wale nō i loko o kāna hana hoʻohiki maoli ʻana me ka hanana nui a kūpono hoʻi i nā hale nui, akā ma o nā kula haʻawina ʻo ia he nui o kāna mau lālā. ʻO ka liturgy kekahi mau manawa me ka guitars a me nā poʻe mele, Latin a me Bach. Pono mākou e mahalo i ka poʻe e mālama a hoʻoponopono i ka moʻomeheu maoli o ka hoʻomana i ka Ekalesia.
