Practical advice
As an offering to the Lord, pray for a priest who is going through a difficulty, remembering that holiness is built in the ordinary.
Biography
Saint Adolphus (+1224) He had been a canon in Cologne, Germany, and did not lead a very edifying life until he was converted during a stay with the Cistercians of Camp. The monks admitted him to their order and from then on he was a model of virtues for all of them. He was bishop of Osnabrück for the last eight years of his life and led an exemplary life, being loved by all for his charity towards the poor and lepers.
