On this Feast Day of Saint Benedict I am recalled of an example of his, that even though unthinkable by some, is an example we all should follow
One time while in meditation Saint Benedict was tormented by the devil with a storm of temptations. The devil sought to make this wonderful Saint fall. The devil was relentless with temptations. Saint Benedict as dedicated to Our Lord as he was/is thought, "enough!" The Saint then ripped off his clothes and jumped into a nearby thornbush to ward off the temptations. the devil then knew he could no longer tempt this great Saint and did not bother again.
