NORLYLA, BISHOP OF VERDEN - 22 MAY

 

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY

Saints celebrated on the 22 May

WELCOME!

NORLYLA, BISHOP OF VERDEN 

Norlyla (May 22, April 30), was allegedly the fourth bishop of Verden in Lower Saxony [Germany]. He is also called Nortilas, [Hortyla] and Nortulas. 

Camerarius describes him as a martyr and saint, probably erroneously, because there is none by that name on the official list of bishops of Verden. The Verden Chronicle names a Hortyla as the successor of St Tanco (Tanko) who died c. A.D. 808 as a martyr among the Saxons, so that the years that followed were assigned to Bishop Norlyla. It is not entirely sure whether Suibert [Swibrecht] was a bishop of Verden. Norlyla is mentioned by the Bollandists [hagiographers].

FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady.

Married to  St Gumbert (April 29), she obtained her husband's consent to join the monastic life. She then built the aforementioned monastery of Avenay. Following an apparition of the Blessed Virgin, she received many nuns there. Once, when Bertha was silently praying for water for her monastery, St Peter appeared to her and showed her a place where there was a spring, which then began to flow into the monastery in a running stream (ex quo fonte mox rivus egressus secutus est eam ad coenobium remeantem).  Finally, towards the end of the 7th century, she was killed by her stepsons - for what reason is not specified, perhaps in ...
