Pope Pius XII
“1. Like a star in the darkness of the night, Benedict of Nursia brilliantly shines a glory not only to Italy but of the whole Church. Whoever considers his celebrated life and studies in the light of the truth of history, the gloomy and stormy times in which he lived, will without doubt realize the truth of the divine promise which Christ made to the Apostles and to the society He founded: "I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world." At no time in history does this promise lose its force; it is verified in the course of all ages flowing, as they do, under the guidance of divine Providence. But when enemies assail the Christian name more fiercely, when the fateful barque of Peter is tossed about more violently and when everything seems to be tottering with no hope of human support, it is then that Christ is present, bondsman, comforter, source of supernatural power, and raises up fresh champions to protect Catholicism, to restore it to its former vigor, and give it even greater increase under the inspiration and help of heavenly grace.”
Pope Pius XII, Fulgens Radiatur: Encyclical On St. Benedict

Bertrand Russell
“Як і інших самітників, Бенедикта мучили плотські спокуси. «Йому являлась одна жінка, яку він бачив колись, а тепер злий дух укладав йому в голову спогад про неї, і той спогад так запалював душу слуги Божого хіттю, а та хіть так розгорялась у ньому, що він, не тямлячи себе від насолоди, вже думав про те, щоб утекти з пустелі. Але раптом він із допомогою благодаті Господньої отямився і, побачивши поблизу густе терня та кропиву, скинув із себе одіж, заліз у саму гущину і качався там доти, що коли встав, то весь був поколотий та подряпаний, і так тілесними ранами він вилікував рани душевні».”
Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy
