Many asked for his prayers and advice because of his virtuous life and the reputation he had for working miracles.

O holy St. Benedict, who rose from slave to Superior, help us imitate your humility and sanctity and instill in us the grace to live in peace and harmony with our brothers and sisters of other races, colors and creeds.
Amen.
