ISENGER, BISHOP OF VERDEN

Isenger, also known as Hysinger, Ysengher, Isinger, was bishop of Verden near Hanover [Germany] and is mentioned as "saint" in various martyrologies. A number of hagiographers call him "blessed", yet other sources have no canonical predicate.

According to Zedler (XLVII. 326) he was the 7th bishop of the See. He died around A.D. 825.

Zedler relates further that Isenger was the successor of Saint Cortillus, whom he incidentally calls Saint Kortilla of Nortyla. But Papebroch in the life of Saint Suibertus (Apr. III. 804) presents us with a completely different order of succession in the See of Verden: he names Bishop St Tanco (February 16) as Isengerus' successor.

Gams explains in W.W. (XI. 852) that Isenger was only the vicar of the absent bishop, in the same way that his predecessors were who are listed as bishops. Ebeling says that the only way to do justice to the criticism is to remove this and the other bishops before 829 from the register of bishops in Verden. The same also remarks in his treatise on this diocese that - particularly during the Middle Ages [due to a variety of different spellings] - Verden was often confused with Werden (abbey), Kaiserswerth (on the Rhine) and Verdun.

Some sources state that Isenger is commemorated on March 21 or July 19.

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. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder.

ST BERTHA OF AVENAY, ABBESS AND MARTYR - 1 MAY

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 1st of May WELCOME! ST BERTHA OF AVENAY, ABBESS AND MARTYR The name Bertha (Berta) is derived from the Old German bercht, brecht, bert etc., meaning shiny, splendid. Saint Bertha, a martyr and abbess of Avenay (Aveniacum) in the diocese of Rheims, was descended from a noble family. 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).
