Dear Listmembers,
I am rejoining after a gap of nearly a year. I am an Irish Benedictine
monk with an interest in the monastic history and the religious orders in
medieval Ireland and elsewhere. My area of research was the Observant
Franciscans in medieval Ireland and I benefitted greatly from the expertise
of listmembers. I am currently working on preaching in late medieval
Ireland as well as trying to get material on Irish devotional and religious
practices in the same period period.
One of the novices here has been given William of St Thierry as his
monastic patron but we have been unable to find a feastday for him. Does
anyone know? This is more urgent than it might appear: our sarabitic custom
if for the assistant novice-master to have a bottle of beer with the
novices on their feastdays. Guess who's assistant novicemaster.
