Date – Monday, June 5th - 2023 – St. Norbert

Saint Norbert, born in Xanten around 1080, led a life of contrasts and transformation. Initially drawn to worldly pleasures, Norbert served as a courtier and almoner to powerful figures. However, a near-death experience during a thunderstorm changed his outlook. This event prompted Norbert to embrace a life of penance and devotion to God.

Seeking guidance, Norbert turned to Abbot Cono of Siegburg. Under his direction, Norbert underwent spiritual renewal and founded the Abbey of Fürstenberg, generously endowing it with his own property. Norbert's commitment to his faith deepened, leading him to become a priest. After a retreat at Siegburg Abbey, he celebrated his first Mass and delivered a powerful sermon on the transient nature of worldly pleasures.

Throughout his life, Norbert faced challenges. Accused of being an innovator, he resigned from his positions and embraced poverty and humility. He sought counsel from Pope Gelasius and was granted the authority to preach. Norbert zealously confronted heresies, converted many, and reconciled enemies.

In 1120, at the Pope's request, Norbert founded the Abbey of Prémontré and established the Norbertines. The Order thrived, with numerous houses founded. Women from noble families also joined the order.

As Archbishop of Magdeburg, Norbert faced challenges in combating heresies, reforming clergy, and promoting peace. He fearlessly defended the true Pope and Church authority.

Saint Norbert died on June 6, 1134, in Magdeburg. His body was laid to rest in the Norbertine Abbey of St. Mary, where his tomb became a site of miracles. Norbert was canonized by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, leaving behind a legacy of holiness and reform.

Saint Norbert's life inspires personal conversion and faith renewal. His devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, tireless preaching, and establishment of a prayerful religious order have left an indelible mark on the Church's history.

St. Norbert, Pray for us.
