Feast of Saint Aubert

Normandy celebrating the bishop who had the honor to receive the apparition of St. Michael the Archangel himself. The relic of his skull, visited last year by pilgrims from the Confraternity, is the treasure of the Basilica of Saint-Gervais-Saint-Prot Avranches.

At the time of King Childebert IV (695-711), the bishop of Avranches received during a vision of the archangel Michael ordered to begin construction a church on the rocky tidal island the mouth of the Couesnon. This rock was steep, barren and lonely, in a bay formed by the meeting of the coasts of Normandy and Brittany. In 709, he lost his name "Mont Tombe" to take the Mont-Saint-Michel-at-risk-of-the-Sea as a result of the construction and dedication of the church by Aubert dedicated to the archangel St. Michael. In this dream, Aubert received three times the order to erect on Mont Tombe a church in her honor. Given the state of the art rock, barely attached to the continent, covered with bushes and brambles, he thought it impossible and thought a tour of the devil. This is only the third time he obeys after the archangel, to stop these doubts, strongly supported the finger on his forehead, leaving a footprint. Aubert awoke with a low forehead and realized the truth of the order of the saint. This skull, also known as "head of Saint Aubert is now preserved in the treasury of the Basilica of Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais Avranches and bears the traces of such a stigma.

Events angel guided him in his task: a round of dew on a morning in September, showed him the form of oratory, a bull attached at the site showed. A source was found, a dug well. It took another pull a pagan worship stone. Aubert sent monks to seek sanctuary on Mount Gargano in Italy, dedicated to St. Michael, relics of the place. Then, on 16 October 709, the bishop said the dedication of the church and installed a chapter of twelve canons. Le Mont Saint-Michel was born. As for the bishop of Avranches, he died in 725.

O God, who among other gifts of Your grace, have deigned to visit the blessed angelic Aubert, grant us, we beseech Thee, to earn by its merits and intercession, to enjoy the company of holy angels. By Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
