Image of St. Abundius

A bishop and noted theologian who was born in Thessaloncia. He became the bishop of Como, Italy, and attended the Council of Constantinople in 450. As a result of his obvious intellect and holiness, he was sent by Pope St. Leo I the Great to the Emperor Theodosius II as an envoy of the Holy See. His mission led to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 and to the Council of Milan in 452. Abundius served as the pope's representative in such councils, clearly stating the Church's role and concerns.
