Benedict declared that physical labor was encouraged because idleness was an enemy of the soul. Monks were encouraged to practice a powerful relationship with God. Ways for Monks to practice discipline were to include fasting, silence, to accept bodily discomfort, and not to own anything. One of the most important rules for the monks was to be obedient to their spiritual leader. Saint Benedict thought that monks should only serve Christ, not study philosophy or literature.

Henceforth, nothing happens by chance except for everthing happens intentionally. Through the occasions God demonstrates his anger or prize. Moreover, they trusted that they are God's picked individuals and that they are a sparkling case for whatever is left of the world.
