Daughter of the Duke  of Lorraine. Married  lay woman. Widow. Founded a convent  at Thorn (now in the Netherlands), and joined it as a Benedictine nun. Abbess at Thorn.

Blessed Hilsindis ora pro nobis, pray for our mothers, and my dear mother.

So many saints we know so little about, but their love and spirits still touch us and so we know.. more than we realize we know.  Cheesy

I had not heard of Hilsindis before. Who was the Duke of Lorraine?

The convent Hilsindis founded followed the Rule of Saint Benedict, embracing the principles   
of prayer, manual labor, and service to others.

The Rule of St. Benedict is available for reading online on Saints' Books for those who might be interested. It's not very lengthy.  crucifix

Thank you my friend. I am doing a little better this past week, and have had some adjustments in medication. I hope it continues, as God may will, I would like to be able to do more.
