SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St William of Bourges
DESCRIPTION:ST WILLIAM OF BOURGES \nFrom Butler’s Lives of the Saints \n◊◊◊ \nGuillaume de Donjeon came from a distinguished family of Nevers on the \nriver Loire in central France. He was educated by his uncle Peter\, who was \narchdeacon of Soissons north-east of Paris. At an early age he was appointed canon \non Soissons and then of Paris. He felt the call to the solitary life\, however\, and \nretired to Grandmont Abbey. A dispute there disturbed his peace\, and he joined \nthe stricter Cistercian Order\, being clothed at the abbey of Pontigny. He was \nelected abbot of two smaller abbeys dependent on Pontigny\, first Fontaine-Jean \nthen Chalis\, near Senlis. \nWhen Henri de Sully\, archbishop of Bourges\, died\, a successor was sought \nfrom among the Cistercian Abbots. William was elected by a process of drawing \nthe first of three names from slips placed on the altar by Henri’s brother Eudes\, \nbishop of Paris\, a choice that confirmed the vote of the clergy. William would have \nrefused the appointment had he not received direct orders to take it up both from \nPope Innocent III and from his religious superior\, the Abbot of Citeaux. He proved \nto be a model bishop\, austere in private life\, wearing a hair shirt and abstaining \nfrom red meat\, and full of pastoral care for the spiritual and material welfare of the \npoor\, whom he saw as his first responsibility. He defended the rights of his church\, \nincluding its lands\, against threatened encroachment by the civil powers\, arguing \nhis case successfully even against the king. \nThe Albigensians were numerous in France at this time\, and he was active in \ncrusading against them\, making many converts. He was preparing a mission to \nthem when his final illness came upon him. He preached a last sermon to his \npeople\, which brought on a high fever and hastened his end. At his request he was \nlaid on a bed of ashes\, and he died with the first two words of the Nocturns on his \nlips\, just after midnight on January 10\, 1209. His body was interred in the \ncathedral of Bourges\, and many miracles were attributed to him. A shrine was \naccordingly built in 1217\, and he was canonized by Pope Honorius III the following \nyear.
