On this day the Catholic Church remembers
St. Romuald

St. Romuald

abbot, founder of the Camaldolese · c. 951 – 1027
Sit in your cell as in paradise… be like a chick that is content with what its mother gives it.
— Brief Rule of St. Romuald

As a young nobleman he witnessed his father kill a relative in a duel. To do penance for his father he entered a monastery. For thirty years he travelled Italy founding hermitages. Out of the shadow of others' sin your vocation can grow.
