St. Leonard

"I understood that to become a saint one had to suffer much, seek out always the most perfect thing to do, and forget self."
- St. Therese of Lisieux (1873 - 1897)

Today is the feast day of St. Leonard. Leonard lived during the 6th century in France, and is said to of been converted to Christianity by St. Remigius. He became a monk at Micy and later a hermit at Limoges. His godfather, King Clovis I, is said to of given him some land as a reward, which Leonard used to open up a Noblac monastery on; it later grew into the town of Saint-Leonard. He continued to live in this area and to evangelize the surrounding areas until his death in 559. 

St. Leonard, pray for us!
