Mildred (+700)
Abbess
She was canonized, says an English hagiographer, for her charm, her gentleness, and her ability to console the afflicted.
Biography
She was abbess of the monastery of Thanet, which Egbert, king of Kent, England, had founded in atonement for her sins (among others, having murdered all her brothers).
Practical advice
In the midst of your ordinary work, pray for a priest who goes through a difficulty without seeking applause or recognition.
