Bishop

Alexander of Jerusalem, bishop of the 3rd century, builder of a library and catechism school; martyred around 250. Model of the union between knowledge and charity.

Emeline d'Yèvres, a 12th-century Cistercian hermit in Champagne, embodies the contemplative life and humble prophecy: radical penance, silent listening, and gifts of discernment placed at the service of the humble. Documented life and local memory meet in the account of her life at the barn of Perthes Sèches (Yèvres-le-Petit), her recognized prophecies—notably by Baron Symon de Beaufort—and her iconographic disappearance. Her example today questions our ability to discern divine signs in everyday life and to live an authentic asceticism, without pomp or the quest for recognition.
