In today's Mass we honor St. Gualbert, who abandoned earthly knighthood, after Our Lord rewarded him miraculously for forgiving an enemy under heroic circumstances. St. Gualbert became a monk, fought against simony, and later founded an very austere form of benedictine life. <br />The story of St. Gualbert reminds us that the knighthood of Christ and true Catholic militancy is found, not in pulling down of strongholds (2 Cor 10:4), but in the spiritual might of the Lord that frees us from selfishness. <br /> Ave Maria! St. John Gualbert, Abbot - Mass: EF, Os Iusti - Readings: 1st: sir 45:1-6 - Gsp: mat 5:43-48 <br /> To Download Audio go to http://airmaria.com?p=13473
