ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE

Saints celebrated on the 11th of June

LINTBERT, ABBOT OF HIRSCHAU


Lintbert (Lintbertus), also Ludbertus, Liutpertus, Lutpertus, was the first abbot of the Hirschau monastery. According to Bucelin* (Suppl.) he came from Swabia and was the brother of St Bruno, abbot of the Hirschfeld abbey.

From his youth he was very docile and of great piety. Initially a monk at the Fulda monastery, he came as abbot to Hirschau around A.D. 838 with 15 monks in tow.

In this new role he distinguished himself through many virtues, but especially through his learning, which is why many sought out Hirschau - to hear the learned abbot. Under him, the monastery's fortune grew, as did the number of brothers. Rabanus was his teacher for some time, and Lintbert was not really lagging behind him in terms of learning. He died in A.D. 854 in the 76th year of his life. Bucelin* calls him venerable. The Bollandists* list him on June 11 (among the Praetermissi).

FATIMA APPARITION - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August Marian Feast Days WELCOME! 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. 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. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS   (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus.  And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright.  HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight. GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mar...
