CONRAD, ABBOT OF EBERBACH

CONRAD, ABBOT OF EBERBACH - 18 SEPTEMBER

CONRAD, ABBOT OF EBERBACH

Eberbach Monastery, Monks' Dormitory

Conrad (Konrad), Abbot of Eberbach in the Rheingau, died on September 18, 1221, having only become abbot on May 1 the same year. He is the author of a work known as Exordium magnum, which reports on the origins of the Cistercian Order and its most amazing rapid spread. It also contains very valuable information about individual men of particular merit and some of the Order's German monasteries. As a monk of Clairvaux Conrad had collected the materials. The Order recognised his work, but did not endorse it until certain modifications to the text had been made, since a number of Conrad's details about some of the first abbots caused offence. However, a while ago his original manuscript has been discovered, and a new, critical edition is expected to appear in print at one point.

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 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.

After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground.
