Saint Glaphyra, a female slave in the service of Emperor Licinius's wife Constantia, fled to Bishop Saint Basileus , in order to safeguard her chastity. Blessed Godfrey of Cappenberg, O. Praem. Blessed Godfrey was a count, who owned large estates. He made the acquaintance of Saint Norbert and, in the midst of violent opposition from his family, deeded his lands to the holy founder, turned his castle into a Praemonstratensian abbey, and himself joined the order with his brother, while his wife and two sisters took the veil in a convent which he founded for them. In art, Blessed Godfrey is portrayed as a Praemonstratensian carrying bread in a bowl with two loaves at his feet.
Little children follow and obey their father.
They love their mother. They know nothing of covetousness, ill- will, bad temper, arrogance and lying. This state of mind opens the road to heaven. To imitate our Lord's own humility, we must return to the simplicity of God's little one's. Hilary of Poitiers.
