Bruno, son of Conrad I of Carinthia and cousin of Emperor Conrad II, was probably educated in Salzburg. He was a member of the Royal Chapel, the Imperial Chancellor of Italy and an intimate adviser of Conrad II and Emperor Henry III, before being elected Bishop of W=C3=BCrzburg. He also accompanied Henry on his second Hungarian Campaign. Bruno rebuilt the existing Cathedral, constructed many new churches and improved education, to which purpose he composed a well-known exegesis on the Psalms to which he appended an analysis of ten Biblical hymns, consisting of extracts from the writings of the Church Fathers. Under his direction the Cathedral school flourished. In 1040 Bruno began the construction of W=C3=BCrzburg Cathedral. The Consecration of the Cathedral on 16 June 1045 was combined with his burial.=C2 Bruno died accidentally, en route to Hungary with Henry III and was buried in W=C3=BCrzburg Cathedral crypt. Below is the interior and exterior of the Cathedral. His cult spread in Germany, and though never formally Canonised, he appears in the Roman Martyrology of 1616. https://anastpaul.com/2020/05/27/ =E2=80=9CAsk God to lead you by Faith, Only God, seek only Him.=E2=80=9D --Bl Nicolas Roland (1642-1678) =E2=80=9CGod alone!=E2=80=9D --St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort <><><><> God alone =E2=80=9CMary lived a life of poverty and suffering, even though she was cl= ose to Jesus, Who could have made her wealthy and happy on this earth by a single act of His will. But she never asked her divine Son for worldly happiness. She regarded Jesus as her only treasure and her happiness consisted in perfect obedience to the will of God. When she arrived in Bethlehem with her holy Spouse, St Joseph, she could not find room in the inn nor in any of the houses. This did not matter to her. She found refuge in a stable and there, she gave birth to Jesus, the only treasure of her life. When Herod planned to kill the Divine Infant, Mary did not ask for a miracle in order to escape but undertook a long and difficult journey into exile. Only once did she ask her Divine Son for a miracle. Then, it was not for herself but for the newly-married couple at Cana, who had run short of wine. What is our attitude? How important are worldly matters to us? What place has God in our hearts? Are we chasing after money, pleasure and success? If we worry a great deal about these things, we shall suffer torment and disillusionment. The final disillusionment will be the restlessness of our hearts, which can find peace and lasting happiness in God alone.=E2=80=9D --Antonio Cardinal Bacci <><><><> Prayer: "Lord Jesus, may I be one with you in all that I say and do. Draw me close that I may glorify you and bear fruit for your kingdom. Inflame my heart with your love and remove from it anything that would make me ineffective or unfruitful in loving and serving you as my All." --- NewsGate v1.0 gamma 2 * Origin: News Gate @ Net396 -Huntsville, AL - USA (1:396/4) .
