Genesis 2:7

God made us through his works and miracles, and now lets make God us through our works us, as he made us let us make him the center of our life for directions.

Romans 8:5-9

The holy spirit gives the right direction, Man's desires gives many direction with no directions at all, all leads to nothing but suffering. If we forget what we want and just be happy for what we need and have, maybe God will be happy too for he needs us just as we need him in us today, desire just fools us with all ignorance, but if we forget ignorance and focus on wise decisions  then the Holy Spirit will give us the right directions.

he Order of Saint Benedict — full Latin name: Ordo Sancti Benedicti , initials: OSB — sometimes referred to as the Benedictine Order, is a term used to denote the independent monasteries that observe the Rule of St Benedict, supplemented by later constitutions and modern customaries. The monastery at Monte Cassino in Italy established by Saint Benedict of Nursia ca 529 was the first of the Benedictine monasteries. Most monasteries of the Middle Ages were of the Benedictine Order, even though it has been said Benedict himself did not intend for his Rule to become the standard for Western Monasticism. However, it has also been argued that he made this inevitable because he provided so efficient an institution. In fact, the Benedictine Monasteries made so great contributions to religion, econcomics, education, and government in their day that the years from 550 to 1150 can be called the Benedictine centuries. The original purpose of the monasteries, though, was not to contribute to culture, or even save it perhaps, but to ensure salvation for its members. Therefore, the Black Monks, as well as the Benedictine nuns (monastic women) had to take extremely strict religious vows of Stability (to remain in the monastery), of Conversation Morum, a Latin phrase still debated, and of Obedience (to the superior, because (s) he holds the place of Christ in their community) in accordance with ch. 58.17 of the Rule of Saint Benedict of Nursia. The abbots of the monasteries had absolute authority over the other monks; to assign them duties, punish them, and take charge of their comings and goings. All Benedictine monks and nuns are members of the Laity among the Christian Faithful; only those Benedictine monks who have been ordained priests are also members of the Hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. In daily life, the monks were held to the strictest discipline of unvarying routine. Silence was regular.

The "Order of St Benedict" is fundamentally different from other Western religious orders: there is no legal entity called the "Order of St Benedict", run on similar lines with other Roman Catholic religious orders with their Generalates and Superiors General. Rather, the various autonomous Houses (that is, communities) have formed themselves loosely into Congregations (for example, Cassinese, English, Solesmes, Subiaco, Camaldolese, Sylvestrines) that in turn are represented in the Benedictine Confederation.

Benedictines are usually Roman Catholics or members of one of the churches of the Anglican Communion, although they are occasionally found in other Christian denominations as well.

Benedictine monks (monastic men) and Benedictine nuns (monastic women) publicly profess the three Benedictine Vows of Stability (to remain in the monastery), of Conversion of Manners, and of Obedience in accordance with ch. 58.17 of the Rule of Saint Benedict of Nursia. According to the Code of Canon Law a Benedictine abbey is a "Religious Institute", and its professed members are therefore members of the "Consecrated Life", commonly referred to as "Religious". All Benedictine monks and nuns are members of the Laity among the Christian Faithful.

Benedictines who are not members of the Consecrated Life (i.e., Oblates) nevertheless endeavour to embrace the spirit of the Benedictine Vows in their own life in the world.

Within the Order of Saint Benedict, other religious that use the Rule of Saint Benedict and are generally considered to be of the Benedictine tradition are the Cistercians, Bernardines, and Benedictine Sisters of Grace and Compassion, although these are not part of the Benedictine Confederation.

The Benedictine motto is: pax (Latin: "peace"), traditionally also ora et labora (Latin: "pray and work").

Benedictine Monks were nicknamed "Black Monks" because of the color of their habits.

Fidelity by Regina Spektor

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind all these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my hea ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hea
rt
It breaks my hea ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha heart,

And suppose I never met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you                                                                                                                               
kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs                                                                                                                 just to break my own fall


Just to break my fa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hall 

Just to break my fa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hall


All my friends say                                                                                                                                              that of course its                                                                                                                                                   gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better...

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
And I hear in my mind all these voices
And i hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music and
It breaks my heart
breaks my heart.

And I hear in my mind al these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And it breaks my hea ha ha ha ha ha ha ha heart,                                                                                                    it breaks my hea ha ha ha ha ha ha ha heart,

Breaks my heart, breaks my heart.

Breaks my heart, breaks my heart.
