26 March – St. Ludger

Bishop & Confessor

Born c. 742 near Utrecht, Frisian noble family. Studied under Alcuin at York, ordained priest, missionary to Frisia and Saxony after Charlemagne’s conquests. Appointed first Bishop of Münster (805), founded Werden Abbey as base for evangelization. Known for simplicity, tireless preaching, miracles (healing the sick, calming storms), and gentle approach to converts — avoided forced baptisms. Died 809 while on pastoral visitation; patron of Münster diocese and against eye diseases.

“Preach the word in season and out of season.”

A model missionary bishop: patient, humble, and persistent in bringing the Gospel to pagan lands through word, example, and charity rather than coercion.

Lord Jesus, through the intercession of St. Ludger, grant missionaries and all evangelizers zeal, gentleness, and fruitfulness in proclaiming Your truth.
