   June 10th - St. Landericus (Landry) of Paris B (AC)   
      
   During the reign of King Clovis II in the mid 600's, Landry, also known as   
   Landrich, was appointed bishop of Paris, to succeed Andebert. He has been   
   described as a deeply sincere and devout man who had great compassion and   
   love   
   for the poor. During the serious famine of 651, Landry sold his own   
   possessions   
   as well as some of the church's furniture and vessels to buy food for his   
   people.   
      
   Bishop Landry was overwhelmed by the lack of facilities for caring for the   
   sick   
   poor in Paris. At that time there were only a few hostels which undertook   
   this   
   work and they were completely dependent on alms. The bishop founded the   
   city's   
   first "real" hospital, which later became known as the famous Hôtel-Dieu de   
   Paris.   
      
   It was during Landry's episcopate that the Abbey of Saint-Denis-en-France   
   was   
   exempted from episcopal jurisdiction in 654. This is the only known document   
   from his episcopate. It has since been destroyed, but is mentioned in   
   documents   
   of King Clovis II.   
      
   The date of Landry's death is unknown, but it is believed to have occurred   
   no   
   sooner than 660. In that year a monk by the name of Marculf had dedicated a   
   collection of writings to Landry. The monk had undertaken these writings at   
   the   
   request of the bishop.   
      
   Today we celebrate the memory of a man of whom little is known, a man most   
   probably little known outside his own country. But a man whose deep love for   
   God   
   and his great love and compassion for God's people so impressed the people   
   of   
   his day, that he has been honored as a saint for many centuries.   
      
      
   Saint Quote:   
   I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us. I would like an abundance   
   of   
   peace. I would like full vessels of charity. I would like rich treasures of   
   mercy. I would like cheerfulness to preside over all. I would like Jesus to   
   be   
   present. I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us. I   
   would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered around us from all parts. I   
   would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord; that I should suffer   
   distress,   
   that he would bestow a good blessing upon me. I would like a great lake of   
   beer   
   for the King of Kings. I would like to be watching Heaven's family drinking   
   it   
   through all eternity.   
   --Saint Brigid of Ireland

   The devotion to Jesus in His most Precious Blood was first popularized by   
   St. Gaspar del Bufalo (1786-1837, feast Dec. 28) who founded the Missioners   
   of the Most Precious Blood. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful   
   who recite this litany.
