St Radbertus

When Radbertus was just a baby, his parents left him on the doorsteps of the Notre Dame of Soissons convent, because they could not take care of him. The nuns loved and cared for him and when he was old enough to go to school he was sent to St. Peter’s monastery nearby. Radbertus loved to learn; his favorite subject in school was Latin. When he was old enough, he joined the monastery and became a monk. He wrote many books and was a very good teacher. He traveled all around Europe using his wisdom to bring peace to many different religious and political disagreements. He spent the last few years of his life as a hermit (living alone with God) praying and studying.
