Monk
Practical advice
With the desire to sanctify everyday life, listen patiently to a person before advising them with external order and internal recollection.
Biography
He was the son of Saint Stephen, the king who converted Hungary. He married, but did not ascend to the throne, as he died before his father. He read hearts and venerated the saints. Certain monks, including some abbots, did not want him to visit their community. To the religious without fervor, in fact, he only gave them a kiss; the fervent received three; and if there was a saint among them, he kissed him seven times on each cheek.
