St. Bruno

Saint Bruno, who founded the Carthusian Order, was born at Cologne, Germany, about 1030. From early youth he gave great promise of future sanctity. His pious parents placed him, when very young, under the tutorship of the clergy of St. Cunibert’s church, where he gave extraordinary proofs of his piety. Bruno’s parents then sent him to Paris, where he excelled in philosophy and theology, and was regarded as a great master and model of the schools. Because of his remarkable virtue he was appointed to a canonry in the Cathedral of Rheims.

Some years later St. Bruno, together with six close friends, went to see Bishop Hugo of Grenoble. On learning the cause of their visit, the Bishop understood that they had been signified by the seven stars he had seen falling at his feet in his dream the previous night, and he gave to them some wild mountains, called the Chartreuse, in his Diocese. Bruno and his companions retired to the solitude known as the Grande Chartreuse, thus laying the foundation of their Order, which still flourishes.

After St. Bruno led a hermit’s life for several years, Pope Urban II, who had been his disciple, summoned him to Rome to be his Councilor. Bruno obeyed, but some years later he refused the Episcopal See of Reggio and obtained permission to return to his religious life. Loving solitude, he retired into the mountains of Calabria, where he assembled a community of Monks and resumed the life of the Grande Chartreuse. At length, full of virtues and merits, and renowned for holiness as well as for learning, Bruno fell asleep in the Lord in 1101. Five hundred years later he was canonized by Pope Gregory XV.
