Saint of the Day Quote: Saint Wulfric of Haselbury

Twelth century hermit and recluse in England.  Much addicted to hunting in his youth, a chance encounter with a beggar triggered a profound religious conversion.  He became a priest and eventually a solitary dedicated to penance and reading his Bible.  Kings and commoners sought his advice and counsel.  He became famous for healing the body and the soul, prophesies and miracles that multiplied from his simple cell, which he occupied for 29 years until he passed to do good works, no doubt, in Heaven.
