The abbreviation OSB does not stand for a specific order of nuns, but rather designates the Order of Saint Benedict, which is a monastic religious order comprising both monks and independent communities of consecrated women, known as Benedictine nuns or sisters. Benedictine women religious follow the ancient Rule of Saint Benedict, emphasizing prayer, manual labor, community life, and hospitality. They use the letters OSB after their names to signify their affiliation with the worldwide Benedictine confederation, distinguishing their monastic tradition from other active or apostolic religious congregations within the Catholic Church.
