Don Beňo was well aware of why the Council had so strongly emphasized the role of communication means in evangelization, and why it called for their creation and dissemination. Don Beňo gave an example in it from the beginning.
His work was not based on his personal interest, but on specific needs of those, who he encountered and whom he served. From the beginning he was aware of the need to give people something that would briefly teach them and effectively encourage them. And in doing so, he tried to omit the theological abstractions and speak the Gospel.
His first booklets he wrote as a student of philosophy and theology (Four Wheels, Augustín Czartoryski, The Echoes of Father's Words), and his translations of dogmatic tracts from French are also included. During his stay at a working camp (PTP) he wrote a book for contemplation for young called Day by Day. When he was in charge of the young Salesian brothers, he wrote a philosophy book for them.
Later he developed an account of Don Bosco's spirituality by Auffray, entitled Follow a Trustworthy Leader.
After 1959, when Don Beňo finally returned from a prison, he captured the surviving events since 1950, and the efforts of many to maintain faith and vocation in the book Rehabilitation.
Then he wrote shorter spiritual reflections, catechesis, and various spiritual orientations. By the end of his life he wrote around fifty titles.
As soon as the first tape recorders were available, he also obtained this technique in order to give his titles more appealing form. He recalls the beginning of his "audio albums" as follows: "When I and Janko Mikes bought the first Hungarian tape recorder Terkel - later we called it" verkel "- we went to different experts to teach us how to do it. We didn't have a mixing console. There was only a turntable and a microphone and a door in the recording room. I made quieter or louder music by closing and opening the door.
I have often recorded several texts until the night. One time when I was tired, I put a tape in to my tape recorder that I had previously recorded. There was recorded the Council. The work of two days was gone. It was necessary to start again but only after when I calmed down. I lay on the ground before the Lord. In such a position, I begged Him for a new blessing of my efforts, because I saw this situation as his intervention. I thought that maybe it needed to be recorded differently, than something else have to be emphasized, otherwise to be expressed, because of someone else …"
While Don Beňo could not entrust this work to co-workers, he had been recording for several years.
An important part of his writings were spiritual exercises. Except of a few, they formed one unit under the name I Believe and Confess.
His efforts, to familiarize others with the Council, led him to make comments on its documents. In this way six papers were created: The Second Vatican Council; Yes Lord; Brothers is time; Put on a new man; To all be one; Announce the Gospel.
The best known to the public are many meditations, including a spiritual commentary on Song of Songs.
