Feast Day: July 11 Born in 480 to a noble family but horrified by the heartless rhetoric without truth in Rome, Benedict fled to become a hermit. After years of prayer, word of his holiness brought monks for his leadership. Warning them he would be too strict, they insisted but tried to poison him: a poisonous cup shattered when he prayed over it and a poisoned bread was carried off by a raven.
