October 29th - St. Theuderius.
(also known as Chef, Theudar, Theodore)
Born in Arcisia (Saint-Chef-d'Arcisse), Dauphiné, France; died c. 575.
Theuderius, son of a distinguished family and a disciple of Saint Caesarius
of Arles who ordained him, was a monk of Lérins who returned to his native
city of Vienne. There he attracted several disciples and built for them
first cells and later three monasteries near Vienne. In an extension of the
custom of the monastic celebrant of the Mass retiring for a week in prayer
and fasting, the people of Vienne had a custom of choosing a holy monk to
lead a penitential, eremitical life on behalf of the people. Saint
Theuderius was selected and willingly became an anchorite, walled-up in a
cell at the church of Saint Laurence. He discharged this office fervently
during the last 12 years of his life.
Extraordinary miracles attended his prayers. At his death, Theuderius was
buried in the monastery of Saint Laurence. His relics were translated to a
collegiate church, of which he is the titular patron, and which gives the
name of Saint-Chef to the town (Benedictines, Encyclopedia, Husenbeth,
Walsh).
Quote:
Fraternal charity is the sign of predestination. It makes us known as the
true disciples of Christ, for it was this divine virtue that moved Him to
live a life of poverty and to die in destitution upon the Cross. Therefore,
when we find opportunities of suffering for charity, we ought to bless God
for them
-St. Vincent de Paul
Bible Quote
16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you,
that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should
remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give
it you. (John 15:16)
