Jesus Christ on Mount of Olives

From this place - the Mount of Olives, we learn His disciples came to Jesus asking when the end of all things would be. And it was here on the Mount, where Jesus quietly sat and calmly unfolded His eschatological teaching declaring everything needed to know about "the sign of times and seasons".

St. Bernardo Tolomei Founder of the Olivetan Benedictine Order

Bernardo Tolomei (1272-1348), founder of the Olivetan Benedictine Order, was canonized at St. Peter's, Rome by Pope Benedict XVI on April 26, 2009 making him St. Bernardo Tolomei.[4]

On the 26th March 1319 Tolomei was given a Decree authorising him to build the future monastery of Santa Maria di Monte Oliveto, near Asciano, Italy. Fodor's Review of Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore states "Tuscany's most-visited abbey sits in an oasis of olive and cypress trees amid the harsh landscape of Le Crete." The illustration of St. Bernardo Tolomei appears to show three large olives with two small olive branches sprouting on top.

ST. Benedict of Nursia on the Last Days

The Glory of the Olive. The Order of St. Benedict has said this Pope will come from their order. It is interesting that Jesus gave his apocalyptic prophecy about the end of time from the Mount of Olives. This Pope will reign during the beginning of the tribulation Jesus spoke of. The 111th prophesy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The Order of Saint Benedict has claimed that this pope will come from their ranks. Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its fight against evil.
