Life of St. Norbert
St Norbert was born of noble parents around the year 1080 in Xanten (northern Rhineland). As the second son of the Lord of Gennep, he became a Canon of Xanten. He made a comfortable income from this, but he did not sing the office; he asked somebody else to do it. He was very talented, so Emperor Henry V soon recognized Norbert`s gifts and charm and called him into his personal service at the imperial court. In the year 1115 Norbert was thrown from his horse by a thunder clap, just like St. Paul. This point of his life we call his conversion. After a long retreat he asked for ordination. But before being ordained he gave away his inheritance.
He was ordained to the diaconate and priesthood on the same day. After this he went back to the Canons of Xanten and tried to convert them back to the strict rules of the Canons, but unfortunately he was not successful. Norbert received permission from Pope Gelasius II to become a wandering preacher. He went out to preach to the people (bare-footed) in a habit made of rough wool.

Pope Callixtus and Bishop Bartholomew encouraged him to settle and found a Community in Premontre, in northern France, near Laon. This new community combined the contemplative lifestyle of the monks with apostolic activity. They called themselves Praemonstratensians (they also have other names today: Norbertines and White Canons). St. Norbert built his monasteries in the towns or busy areas, because the centre of their life was not the Abbey or Monastery, but the `open church` and the festive Liturgy, that was celebrated in these churches.
Norbert is pictured with the double ranged staff and palladium of an Archbishop and with a chalice or monstrance which recalls his Eucharist-centred spirituality. It was the reforming, pacifying and civilizing influence of St. Norbert, combined with the zeal he inspired, that resulted in the creation of almost 400 Houses of the Order throughout medieval Europe. Norbert attracted both men and women to his Communities with his preaching and peace-making.

Six years after founding the Order, he was made the Archbishop of Magdeburg, so he relinquished the leadership of the Order to Hugh. He died in Magdeburg on June 6 in 1134.

Gospel JN 17:20-26
Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: "I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them."
