| St. Aldemar the Wise |
History
Aldemar was a monk in part
of Italy called Monte Cassino. The princess of that region built a
convent and asked him to become the director. It was obvious that he was very
close to God because God was able to use Aldemar to perform many miracles. But
Aldemar didn’t have an easy time. His abbot assigned him to a different place,
which made the princess angry. Then as Aldemar journeyed to his new home, one
of his companions tried to kill him! Aldemar escaped and then kept his focus on
doing the work the Lord wanted him to do, which was to start more religious
communities.
Activity
Jesus warned His followers
that following Him doesn’t mean that things will always be easy. Saint Aldemar
knew that. Even when he did his best to stay out of a dispute, trouble came looking
for him. But he just stayed true to Christ and kept doing what Jesus asked him
to do. Today, memorize the second half of John 16:33 – words of Christ that
will help you all your life! “In the world you face persecution. But
take courage; I have conquered the world!”
