    St. Richard

    St. Richard was born in 1197 at Wiche, near Worcester, England. When quite young, he and his elder brother were left orphans. Richard gave up his studies in order to labor on his familyÂ’s impoverished farms which he turned around and made into a successful farm. Richard refused the earnings of the estate, as well as the opportunity for marriage, since he desired to give himself to God’s service.

    He resumed his studies which he had begun at Oxford, then in Paris. Returning to England he earned his Master of Arts at Oxford, and then went to Bologna, Italy, to study canon law. St. Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, appointed him his Chancellor, and he accompanied the Archbishop when St. Edmund was banished to France. After the death of his role model, St. Edmund, Richard retired to a convent of Dominican Friars in Orleans, France, where he was ordained Priest.

    St. Richard suffered many hardships and persecutions for two years, paying with favors those who persecuted him. He pleaded his case before Pope Innocent IV against the King’s deputies, and obtained a confirmation from the Pope of his appointment to Bishop. St. Richard performed his episcopal duties with fervor and charity towards his flock, and thoroughly reformed his Diocese.

    He preached the word of God with that unction and fruitfulness which only an eminent spirit of prayer could produce. Penitent sinners he received with great tenderness and charity, but when the rights of the Church were questioned he remained obdurate, fearing no consequences.

    While preaching a holy war against the Saracens, at the Pope’s command, St. Richard fell ill. He foretold his death, dying in a hospital at Dover on April 3, 1253, at the age of fifty-six. His body was conveyed to Chichester for internment in the Cathedral before the altar he had erected. Miraculous cures occurred at his tomb. The Saint was solemnly canonized by Pope Urban IV in 1262.
