This passage is from a book of rules for monks written by St. Benedict. It was used to govern monasteries for hundreds of years.
Idleness is the enemy of the soul. And therefore, at fixed times, the brothers ought to be occupied in manual labour; and again, at fixed times, in sacred reading . . . [T]here shall certainly be appointed one or two elders, who shall go round the monastery at the hours in which the brothers are engaged in reading, and see to it that no troublesome brother [can] be found who is open to idleness and trifling.
What is the main idea of the Benedictine Rule ?
Praying at all times is necessary to become a godly person.
Being idle and lazy is a negative trait brothers need to avoid.
Spending all of one’s time reading and studying is important to be a man of God.
Engaging in daily activities is necessary to avoid manual labor.
