| St. Ado |
History
Though he was born into a wealthy
family, Ado left it all behind to become a Benedictine monk. He was very holy,
which made other people so jealous, he had to leave town. He went to Rome on
pilgrimage, but ended up staying for two years. Then he traveled more than 200
miles away to Ravenna. He found an old copy of the Roman Martyrology, a book
that honors the people who died because of their faith in Jesus. Ado updated
this book so more people could be inspired.
Activity
As part of your family prayers,
read today’s entry in the Roman Martyrology. This is not the same one that
Saint Ado wrote – it’s been updated since his ninth century version.
