Today, there is another of the heroes of the church to be celebrated, but because his feast falls on a Sunday, the liturgy does not put him in the forefront.
Saint Romuald was born in Ravenna in the middle of the tenth century. He embraced the hermit's life and for many years traveled through various lands seeking solitude and establishing small monasteries while directing himself to a life of perfection (read asceticism) by the practise of virtues. He fought strenuously agains the depraved habits of the monks of his day. He died around the year 1027.
