Kansas City has Many Invalid Masses - John Yep on the Dodgers Blasphemy

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424

Date – Wednesday, June 7th - 2023 – St. Willibald

Willibald, an 8th-century bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria, was known for his extensive travels and devout missionary work. Born in Wessex around 700, he was the son of Richard the Pilgrim and Wuna of Wessex, with a brother named Winibald and a sister named Walburga.

At the age of three, Willibald fell seriously ill. Miraculously, he survived and entered the Benedictine monastery at Waldheim at age five, embracing the monastic ideal of peregrinatio religiosa.

In 721, Willibald embarked on a pilgrimage to Rome with his father and brother. Along the way, they visited shrines and prayed, but their journey took a tragic turn when his father passed away. Willibald and Winibald continued their pilgrimage until they fell seriously ill, but through their prayers, they were miraculously healed.

Willibald and his companions sailed to Naples in 724, exploring Sicily and Greece before reaching Asia Minor. They visited various holy sites, including Ephesus and the tomb of John the Evangelist. Their pilgrimage eventually led them to the Holy Land.

After his pilgrimage, Willibald joined the Benedictine community at Monte Cassino, playing a vital role in the monastery's reformation.

In 738, Willibald received a request from Boniface, a prominent missionary, to assist in his work in Germany. Willibald arrived in Eichstätt, where he was ordained a priest by Boniface in 741 and consecrated as the bishop of Eichstätt in 746.

Under Willibald's guidance, the double monastery of Heidenheim was founded in 742, becoming an influential center for the spread of Christianity.

For over four decades, Willibald dedicated himself to his episcopal duties, sharing his inspiring journey and teachings. His life and travels left a lasting impact on the Church.

Today, Willibald is remembered as a devout bishop, a courageous traveler, and a dedicated missionary. His shrine is located at the Eichstätt Cathedral in Germany, where his relics are preserved. His feast day is celebrated on July 7th, commemorating his remarkable life and unwavering faith.

St. Willibald, Pray for us.
