  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER Saints celebrated on the 8th of November   WELCOME! SAINT WILLEHAD, BISHOP OF BREMEN, CONFESSOR [Apostle of Saxony.] Saint Willehad was an Englishman, a native of the kingdom of Northumberland, and was educated from his infancy in learning and piety. The austerity of his life, his humility, the readiness of his obedience, and his constant attendance on prayer, engaged his bishop to promote him to the dignity of the priesthood.  HE WAS EDUCATED FROM HIS INFANCY IN LEARNING AND PIETY The great spiritual conquests which many of his countrymen had made to Christ, with St Willibrord in Friesland and St Boniface in Germany, seemed a reproach to him, and he desired to carry the saving knowledge of the true God to some of those barbarous nations which remained still in the darkness of idolatry and in the shades of death.

HE MADE AN APPEAL TO THE MOTHER OF GOD With simplicity and confidence the boy made an appeal to the Mother of all graces and beseeched her to be willing to open his mind; it was soon done! Our Lady, appearing to him, told him: “O my little devout one, the prayers and tears you have offered me have pleased me very much. You have persuaded my indulgent Heart to pity your plight and console your tears. And here I am next...
