What is the main idea of the Benedictine Rule ?

Answer
A
Praying at all times is necessary to become a godly person.
B
Being idle and lazy is a negative trait brothers need to avoid.
C
Spending all of one’s time reading and studying is important to be a man of God.
D
Engaging in daily activities is necessary to avoid manual labor.

Explanation

The Benedictine Rule teaches monks to structure their lives around prayer, work, and study, rather than letting time pass in idleness. It specifically treats idleness as harmful and encourages brothers to stay occupied in worthwhile activities. So the best choice is “Being idle and lazy is a negative trait brothers need to avoid.”
