"The consecrator is to God and to Christ We must become witnesses who give the first place in our lives. " St. John Paul II Benedictine contributors living in the world include both lay and secular priests as Christians living in their own home, society, and workplace. They find directions in their lives within the rules of St. Benedict, mature their call to evangelical perfection, serve God, and find ways to glorify God. Consecration can take its origin from the rules of St. Benedict itself and has been recognized by the church as a settled activity for a long time through centuries. These Christian dedications took place in a concrete form by renewing their baptismal dedication according to the spirituality of the Benedictines. All contributors have a bilateral relationship with a particular Benedictine monastery chosen according to their spiritual interests or local conditions, and through this relationship they become associated with all Benedictine monasteries. Application and training process Dedication is achieved by submitting a petition for dedication to Papas and accepting it. The dedication is made after a total of three years of training, and those who have not reached the age of 18 or who belong to the third order of other religious orders will not be accepted. Without disturbing their work or family life, Benedict's attitude of life as a consecrator is formed through a deeper understanding of the rules, participation in liturgy, meeting with other contributors, and lectures by spiritual leaders. The rite of consecration takes place during the Eucharist according to the sanctioned liturgical pattern, and as it is spoken before God, it is of a durable and obligatory character. The specific life and spirituality of the consecrator The consecration meeting was derived from the growth of the true value of the Gospel and the Christian value of the monk tradition. Thus, the consecrator is responsible for faithfulness to this life within the confines of the Benedictine spirituality through prayer and self-dedication according to spiritual, doctrinal and liturgical progress. The spiritual life of consecration is realized by dying to sin, living a new life in Christ, and responding specifically to universal appeals and invitations to holiness. The center of the consecrator's day should be God's work Opus Dei, as St. Benedict taught that “nothing shall precede the work of God” [Rule 43,3]. First of all, as daily as possible, the consecrator will participate in the sacrificial offering of Christ, the Eucharist, in the sense of adding his or her consecration to the sacrificial offering of Christ. Also, we must practice the holy affairs [at least morning prayer and evening prayer] and Lexio Divina. We must pray deeply and lead a life of listening to God in silence. And as a contributor to the Benedictine, who had a bilateral relationship with the Order of Olivetano, he will learn from the Virgin Mary an example of inner life, as did its founder St. Will. In addition, in the life of a believer, a consecrator who aligns himself with Benedicdo rules must strive to practice humility, obedience, and love. In particular, we will cultivate a good passion for serving our neighbors [Rule 72] with a good heart in the world, understanding our neighbors, maintaining an attitude that is always open to the requests of our brothers. Finally, the contributor will be fully committed to the expansion of the kingdom of God and the love and completion of the temporal order in a Christian spirit, with a generous heart yearning for eternal wealth.

St Bernardo Tolomei "More than any heroic virtue Humble your own sins It 's better to admit it." St. Bernardo Tolomei, Letter 1 The founder of St. Benedictine of Olivetano is St. Bernardo Tolomei. Born in 1272 to a noble family in Siena, Italy, the saint was originally John. Johann Tolomei was a law enforcement officer and emperor's knight who studied law like any other aristocratic son at that time. But suddenly, he is in danger of losing his sight, and he personally pledges to devote his life to the healing of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Upon being healed by God's grace, he decided to live the life of thorough retribution and prayer he had hoped for, and began a silver life in 1313 with his colleagues Ambrosio Piccolomini and Patricio Patrici. I was 41 years old at that time. Like the early monks, the three devoted themselves to contemplative life with silence and simple life. Later, as their holy life became known and his disciples gathered, he built a monastery at Monte Olivetto, which was accredited by the Bishop of Arezzo as a convent in 1319. The Order, which chose Saint Benedician's Capital Rule as a way of life, was finally officially approved by the Church in 1344 by Pope Clemens VI. Tolomei served as fathers for 27 years, earning the full trust of the brothers of the Order. However, as the plague spreads across Siena, he moves to a devastated city center to reach out to help. In doing so, while caring for the brothers who suffered from plague, he himself died in 1348 with plague. In 1644 Pope Urban VIII placed him on a blessed tribute, and investigations for canonization began in 1998, and relatively recently, canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009. 1/2 "All the teachings of adults It is an echo that speaks of the value of humility, By every means possible Teaches humility and leads us to humility I convince you to come back." St. Bernardo Tolomei, Letter 1

“We strive to realize our capital vocation through community life, as set out in the St. Benedicdo Rules.” Constitution 2 " Because there is only one bread, even if we have several One body. We all have one bread together Because they divide." 1 Corinthian 10,17 Benedictine is a'academy that serves the Lord' where brothers gather together and struggle under the rules and fathers. As a monk of recovery, we realize the vocation of the capital city based on the spirit of these . Through the sacrament table, we share the body and blood of the Lord every day, and grow into one body. And from our founder, St. Bernardo Tolomei, we receive important nourishment for our community spirit. Under extreme humility, he led himself and his community in the spirit of'one body'. Three times the saint showed humility so much that he refused to be the first fathers job. And although he served as the fathers of the Federation for the next 27 years, his rule was to strengthen the unity of communion. He always preferred the expressions'we' and'brothers and me' rather than'me', and maintained an attitude of listening to the opinions of the brothers as much as possible on all important matters. In this atmosphere, the Abbey of Monte Olivetto and the local monastery form one body like a relationship between head and body. It can be said that this is the spirit of'one body' and the charisma of the founder, which has continued until now. The following summarizes the attitudes our monks should have as members of the community. 72. On the good passion that monks should have Just as there is a bitter and bad passion that separates from God and leads to hell, so there is a good passion that separates from evil habits and leads to God and eternal life. Therefore, the monks will practice this passion with extreme love. In other words, we will respect each other first, endure weaknesses in our bodies and conduct with extreme patience, quarrel and obey one another, do not follow what we think is beneficial to ourselves, but rather follow what we think is beneficial to others. To show love cleanly, to love and fear God, to love his fathers with sincere and humble charity, and to take nothing better than Christ, who will lead us all together to eternal life. "Look, how good it is, how fun it is, For the brothers to live together!" Psalm 133,1
