Saints Who Were Close to Nature
The 7th-century hermit Wendelin is famous for his cures of afflictions of cattle ðŪ ðĻ⚕️ and his patronage of country folk ðĻðū and herdsmen. According to the tradition handed down to us, he was a youth of Scottish origin, who, after making a pious pilgrimage to Rome ðŪðđ ð️ , felt called to a solitary life. He settled in a remote spot in the diocese of Trier, Germany, where he lived in a simple hut ð .

One day, Wendelin was in the town begging for his bread ð ðĪē when a nobleman ðĪī accosted him. He wanted to know why a healthy young man was begging for bread that could go to the poor. The nobleman offered Wendelin a job on his farm, and the hermit, seeing in this an opportunity to mortify his own will, accepted. From that time, he occupied himself with the cattle ð and the sheep ð . It is said that he often took his flock very far afield, but miraculously transported them home each night.

Eventually, Wendelin took his leave from the farm and returned to the hermitage ð . He established a group of hermits who eventually formed the monastery of Tholey ⛪ . Upon his death, many miracles were reported at his grave ðŠĶ , and a chapel was erected ð·♂️ ⚒️ on the spot. In the 14th Century the chapel was rebuilt by the bishop in Trier after Wendelin's intercession ended a deadly plague on cattle.
