Monk’s in European Society

In Rome, several of the first monks were well-known for what they did. Many devoted themselves to much selfless service, continually helping those in need. They took care of the homeless, fed the hungered, clothed the naked, and gave water to those who were thirsty. They did their best even though it was hard. However, although they committed themselves to serving others, before thinking of themselves, they had to have a way in which to be self-reliant. This motivation caused many monks to not only be great teachers, and ministers, but also to be great thinkers. They were constantly trying new ideas, to better their lifestyles, so that they could focus more on others, then on themselves. They built 742 factories all powered by water. Each monk was taught several skills in the arts of tanning, crushing wheat, fulling cloth, sieving flour, and as well as metallurgy. Through their continuous contributions, not only in serving, but as well as in technology, they were not only able to bless the lives of others, but they were also able to contribute much in the European society.
