Radbodo (19th century)
Bishop
Practical advice
Today, in the presence of God, listen patiently to a person before advising them and start again with humility if it doesn't work out for you.
Biography
Bishop of Utrecht, Holland, restored his diocese after the Norman invasions. His name was adopted by his successor in the litanies and canon of the mass, so edifying was his memory. Radbodo was, on his maternal side, the grandson of the last sovereign of independent Frisia.
