St William of Bourges

As a little boy, William didn’t like to waste time fooling around; instead he spent time praying every day. When he got older he became a monk.  William became Archbishop of Bourges.  He was grateful to be a Bishop, but he wasn’t happy because of all the attention got. He stayed humble by doing penance for his own soul and so that people would come to believe in God.  He traveled all over, celebrating mass and teaching people about God. He spent a lot of time in prayer and was very close to God and God blessed him with lots of love while he prayed.  He died while he was kneeling in prayer.  He performed many miracles during his life and after his death.
