Born of nobility, and living in luxury with royal favor, St.
Norbert suddenly had a conversion, and embarked to be a new St.
Paul, throwing away his rich garments, and preaching to the
faithful as a beggar. Led further, and provided with papal
approval, Norbert makes a foundation in the valley of PrZmontrZ,
whence his order gets its name. The preaching of St. Norbert and
his order restored faith in the Eucharist, badly shaken by
heretics, and for this he was long remembered in northern European
cities badly affected by heresy such as Antwerp. The great project
of St. Norbert was to combine the active and the contemplative
life, by establishing canons who lived by the maxims of monastic
life, to both work in the world and retire for prayer. In this he
anticipates Sts. Francis and Dominic by a century. Fr. Kirkfleet,
relying on the best histories and the most accurate primary
sources, provides the most complete biography of this great saint
in English.
