   Mans, to Monte Cassino, in order to petition St Benedict to send some   
   Monks to France. Arriving at a place called Vercella, the Vicar fell   
   down headlong from a high stairway in the place where he was lodging.   
   His body was so crushed by the fall that his life was despaired of.   
   His right shoulder, arm and hand had so swelled with inflammation,   
   that amputation of the arm was deemed necessary. Recourse was then had   
   to their companion, St Maurus, who was engaged in prayer in the   
   oratory. Moved by the earnest supplications of his brethren and the   
   misery of the sick man, the Saint cast himself prostrate at the foot   
   of the Altar, pouring forth his soul in fervent prayer. Having   
   finished praying, he took from the Altar the case of relics which had

   Saint Quote:   
   We must begin with a strong and constant resolution to give ourselves   
   wholly to God, professing to Him, in a tender, loving manner, from the   
   bottom of our hearts, that we intend to be His without any reserve,   
   and then we must often go back and renew this same resolution.

   Bible Quote   
   Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and   
   taught. 15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know   
   letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus answered them, and said: My   
   doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.  (John 7:14-16)

   Father, I abandon myself into Thy hands;   
   Do with me whatever Thou willst.   
   Whatever Thou may do, I thank thee.   
   I am ready for all, I accept all.   
   Let only Thy will be done in me,   
   And in all Thy creatures.   
   I wish no more than this, O Lord.   
   Into thy hands I commend my spirit;   
   I offer it to Thee, Lord,   
   and so need to give myself,   
   to surrender myself into Thy hands,   
   Without reserve and with boundless confidence,   
   For Thou are my Father.
