ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 2nd of May SAINT GUIBORATA, ANCHORESS AND MARTYR Saint Guiborata, also called Wiborada or Weibrath, was a devout anchoress in St Gallen [St Gall] in Switzerland. She came from an old family in Swabia. Even when she was still in her father's house, she lived like in a monastery, focusing solely on prayer and work. As a dutiful daughter, she eagerly carried out not only the orders but also every wish of her parents. Her brother Hitto, who had become a priest, led her on the way of salvation. After a pilgrimage, which they had made together to the graves of the princes of the apostles, Hitto became a monk in St Gallen, but Guiborata combined the contemplative life with that of active charity. She even seems to have exerted an influence on bishops early on, and Bishop Salomon II of Constance (885–891) in particular made use of her assistance. She then lived on a neighbouring mountain in a cell near St George's Church. Since
