Nicholas of Flue (+1487)
Priest
He is one of the most famous and esteemed saints in Switzerland for his gift of giving good advice and once avoiding war through his clever mediation.
Biography
He was married and had two sons, one of them a priest, but by divine inspiration and in agreement with his wife, he retired to a mountain and lived the rest of his life as a hermit. He ate so little, and when people asked him how he survived, he answered, “God knows how.”
Practical advice
During this day, spend a few minutes asking for holy and generous vocations, remembering that holiness is built in the ordinary.
