ST TUTILO OF GALL
(850-915)
LIFE:
Large, powerfully built Irish man. Educated at Saint Gall's monastery in
Switzerland where he stayed to become a Benedictine monk. Friend of Blessed Notkar
Balbulus. A renaisance man before the term was coined. Excellent student, he became a
sought after teacher at the abbey school Noted speaker. Poet and hymnist, though
nearly all of his work has been lost. Architect, painter, sculptor, metal worker, and
mechanic; some of his art work continues to grace galleries and monasteries around
Europe. Composer and musician, playing several instruments including the harp. No
matter his talents or works, he preferred the solitude and prayers of his beloved
monastery.
REFLECTION:
**** We should apply ourselves continually, so that
, without exception , all our actions become small occasions of fellowship
with God, yet artlessly, but just as it arises from the purity and the
simplicity of the heart.***( The practice of the presence of the
Lord--Bro.Lawrence)
**O Jesus ! Who for love of me,
Didst bear Thy Cross to Calvary ;
In Thy sweet mercy grant to me
To suffer & die with Thee...**
