6 Oct: St. Bruno d. 1101 #otd a brilliant lecturer & founder of the #Carthusian order.
He was an academic who came to realise the importance of silence.
A rare thing among academics.
Church in Pörtschach am Berg in the community of Maria Saal - Bruno of Cologne
🕯️ St Bruno teaches us that holiness grows in silence, prayer, and faithful love.
May his witness inspire our CFMD brothers to seek God’s mercy in the stillness of every day.

I realise this is a long shot, but can anyone point me towards a list of #Marian #miracle #tales found in the works of #Denis the #Carthusian? Or at least a specific work of his that contains #miracles? I'd be very grateful!
