St. Berthold

St. Berthold

St. Berthold

Feastday: March 29
Died: 1195

Considered by some historians to be the founder of the Carmelite Order. He was born in Limoges, France, and proved a brilliant student at the University of Paris. Ordained a priest, Berthold joined his brother, Aymeric, the Latin patriarch of Antioch, in Turkey, on the Crusades. On Mount Carmel he found a group of hermits, joined them, and established a rule. Aymeric appointed Berthold the first Carmelite superior general. Berthold tried to reform the Christian soldiers in the region, having had a vision of Christ, and headed the Carmelites for forty-five years.

    Emmanuel, there are many saints whose feast day is on march 29. Just choose one.
    Your patron saint can be any saint you choose even if his/her feast day is not on march 29.

    But the best role model in life would be Jesus Christ.

    Dear St. Berthold, pray for me today. I have a problem which I have to bring to the attention of the administration. Please intercede to God that I may receive their mercy and understanding. And that I may not have to face any penalty for it. Give me greater care and scrutiny in my work. Amen

    It is interesting that the patron saint of 29th March keeps changing. I was born on this date and will want to model my life after the saint of the day but the patron saint keeps changing. This confuses me. What are the main determinants of patron saints of days? Sometime ago it was Jonas, last year it was Saturninus and this year it Berthold. Who is my patron saint?
