St. Norbert founded the Premonstratensians, also known as the Norbertines, in France during the 12th century. He based the Norbertines on principles of both the Rule of St. Augustine and the Cistercians, blending the pastoral practices of the Rule, with the austere practices of the Cistercians. Later in his life, he became Archbishop of Magdeburg, where he combined his ministry with personal contemplative prayer to renew faith in the diocese. “Faith was the outstanding virtue of Norbert’s life. Affable and charming, amiable to one and all, he was at ease in the company of the humble and the great alike.” -From the life of St. Norbert

San Norberto fundó a los premonstratenses —también conocidos como norbertinos— en Francia durante el siglo XII. Basó la orden de los norbertinos en los principios tanto de la Regla de San Agustín como de los cistercienses, combinando las prácticas pastorales de la Regla con las prácticas austeras de los cistercienses. Más adelante en su vida, llegó a ser arzobispo de Magdeburgo, donde combinó su ministerio con la oración contemplativa personal para renovar la fe en la diócesis. «La fe fue la virtud sobresaliente de la vida de Norberto. Afable y encantador, amable con todos por igual, se sentía a gusto tanto en compañía de los humildes como de los grandes». —De la vida de San Norberto

St. Boniface was a Benedictine monk who dedicated his life to building the Catholic Church in Germany in the 700s. Originally from England, he was sent to continental Europe to serve as a missionary in the eighth century. Boniface came to Germany in the middle of many regional wars, a situation that he would try to stabilize in his preaching. While he worked to convert the pagans in Germany, many sects vied for Boniface’s loyalty, but he remained loyal to the pope and the Church. In 754, he was martyred by one of the groups he had worked with for years. Every year there are celebrations for his feast in Germany, Netherlands, and England.
