MUNDERIC, BISHOP OF ARISITUM - 18 MARCH

MUNDERIC, BISHOP OF ARISITUM

Munderic (Mundericus) (Munderich) of Langres (French Mondry, Modericus, Mondericus, Mundéric) (born c. 540; died c. 580) was a Frankish bishop and Christian saint. His feast day is March 18. Since some sources reckon him to be the same person as Mondry of Cellettes, May 10 and 12 are also considered memorial days.

Munderic of Langres was the son of Ferreole of Rodez and Saint Deuteria, abbess of Saint-Pierre in Reims. His siblings were Ferreole of Narbonne, Lucilla Ferreola, Agilulf, Deotarius, Babon, Ragenfred and Ausbert.

Munderic was coadjutor of the ill Bischop Tetricus of Langres, who died in 572/73. He was then consecrated Bishop of Tonnerre. However, he fell out of favour with the Frankish King Guntram I and was imprisoned. After his release, he went to Austrasia under the protection of King Sigibert I. The latter appointed Munderic as bishop of the newly founded diocese of Arisitum. A short time later Munderic died.

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 Mary’s Assumption in 1

ST LAURA OF CORDOBA, WIDOW AND MARTYR - 19 OCTOBER

WELCOME! SAINT LAURA OF CORDOBA, WIDOW AND MARTYR Laura, a widow and martyr of Cordoba in Spain, is mentioned in the Spanish martyrology of Tamajode Salazar, who refers to Luitprand, where it says the following: St Laura is said to have been of a noble family, and according to the wishes of her parents she married an equally noble man and gave birth to two daughters. After the death of her husband and her daughters, she went to the monastery of St Aurea, named St-Maria de Cuteclara, and after her martyrdom led the same for nine years as her successor. After she had made wonderful progress in all virtues, she was finally summoned to renounce the faith before a Saracen judge. But since she remained steadfast, she was first beaten very cruelly and then thrown into a bath of boiling pitch, where she remained in praise of God for three hours and then flew to heaven on October 19, 864. St Laura is of the 48 Martyrs of Cordoba. PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who
