St. Romuald

After witnessing his father kill a relative in a duel over property, St. Romauld found refuge in a monastery and began a life of devout holiness. From there, he began founding monasteries and hermitages around Italy for the rest of his life. He founded the Camaldolese Hermits of Mount Corona and died on June 19, 1027.  “Better to pray one psalm with devotion and compunction than a hundred with distraction.” -St. Romuald
