SAINT AEGIL, ABBOT - 28 NOVEMBER

Saints celebrated on the 28th of November

SAINT AEGIL, ABBOT

The abbot Aegil (Aegilis), whom Raderus lists among the “saints” in his Bavaria sancta [Encyclopedia of Saints], was born in Bavaria [in South Germany]. He became the abbot of Fulda.

From an early age, his parents entrusted him to the saintly Abbot Sturmius of Fulda for his education.

When Aegil became abbot - despite all the insight and wisdom he possessed - did he never undertake anything of any importance without consulting his fellow monks. In this way he brought about a wonderful unity and harmony of hearts in his monastery.

Already during his lifetime, he had the grave prepared that was to receive his body after his death and himself affixed his epitaph over it. When he died in 822, the monastery was in the most beautiful bloom.

In the Bavaria sancta there is a pictorial representation of Aegil in which he is shown in the habit of an abbot ordering the construction of the monastery and supervising the workmen. Some hagiographers list his name on August 6, others on November 28.

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.

ST VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA - 7 JANUARY

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 7th of January WELCOME! SAINT VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA Saint Valentine (Valentinus) is the patron saint of the diocese of Passau. The Proprium of Passau relates his life story as follows: Saint Valentine came from the seashore and arrived at Batava, today's Passau. Here he wanted to proclaim the gospel to the inhabitants, who were ignorant of the true worship of God, and therefore went to Rome to obtain the necessary authority from the Pope for this undertaking. Upon his return, he invested much time and effort to gain those lost souls for Christ, as the Pope expected him to. Valentine himself thirsted for their salvation, incessantly preaching the Divine word to them. After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground.
