Saints celebrated on the 29th of November
BL. FREDERICK OF RATISBON, RELIGIOUS
Blessed Frederick (Friedrich von Regensburg), a lay brother, was born in Ratisbon (Regensburg), Germany, in or around 1250 and died there on November 29, 1329.
Hieronymus Streittel, prior of the Augustinian monastery in Regensburg from 1515 to 1518, wrote the "Vita Beati Friderici". In it he describes the blessed man's origins, his path to becoming a friar and his healing work as a servant of God. Friedrich worked as a carpenter and gatekeeper. His particular devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and his charity are also documented.
The faithful have been invoking Frederick's intercession throughout the centuries, and Pope Pius X beatified him on May 12, 1909.
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Blessed Frederick may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
