BLESSED EVERHARD THE SILENT
Blessed Everhard (Everhardus), a lay brother (conversus) lived at the monastery of Villers in Brabant. He was distinguished by wonderful patience, punctual obedience, and by a special power over animals bestowed on him by God. An especially faithful and careful guardian of his tongue, he was also nicknamed "the silent one". He is probably identical to Blessed Eberhard. (II. 216)
