November 3
Hubert (+727)
Bishop
He was bishop of the diocese that comprised two-thirds of present-day Belgium.
Biography
He administered it with such wisdom that he won the affection of the entire town. He traveled incessantly, building churches, burning idols, preaching now on a horse in the clearing of the forest, now in a boat moored to the shore. He helped the prisoners with all his power, and sent them food.
Practical advice
Without seeking recognition, listen patiently to a person before advising them as one who works and prays under the loving gaze of God.
