The world seems to be fallng apart… the civilized world is becoming barbaric and is on the verge of collapsing from “the weight of it’s own iniquity”. God raised up St. Benedict at such a crucial time (He raised up Pope Benedict XVI in our time… ) who sought to renew the world beginning with himself (reminds me of a certain Michael Jackson song) and then with his order of monks. Here is some information about him with a link to the rule that he wrote for his monks. The Rule of St. Benedict is good spiritual reading.
