Born in the Nursia region in Italy in 480 to rich and famous parents. From school, as an "uneducated sage and a reasonable ignoramus", he ran away to a monastery where Roman made him a monk. Then he retreated to a virtuous mountain, where he remained for 3 years in a great feat and effort for his soul. When word gets out, they run away from that cave. Once, when he was attacked by a domon, in order to avoid the thought of a woman, he rolled naked on nettles and thorns. When they poured him a glass of wine with poison, he crossed it and it burst. He saw through, healed, expelled evil spirits, healed the dead... He founded 12 monasteries. Later, he created the Benedictine order, which still exists in the Roman Church today. He surrendered his soul to the Lord peacefully in 543.
