SUMMARY:Saint Egwin
DESCRIPTION:Saint Egwin\nSaint of the Day for December 30\n(d. c. 720)\nClick to hear audio clip ► \nSaint Egwin’s Story\nYou say you’re not familiar with today’s saint? Chances are you aren’t—unless you’re especially informed about Benedictine bishops who established monasteries in medieval England. \nBorn of royal blood in the 7th century\, Egwin entered a monastery and was enthusiastically received by royalty\, clergy and the people as the bishop of Worcester\, England. As a bishop he was known as a protector of orphans and the widowed and a fair judge. Who could argue with that? \nHis popularity didn’t hold up among members of the clergy\, however. They saw him as overly strict\, while he felt he was simply trying to correct abuses and impose appropriate disciplines. Bitter resentments arose\, and Egwin made his way to Rome to present his case to Pope Constantine. The case against Egwin was examined and annulled. \nUpon his return to England\, he founded Evesham Abbey\, which became one of the great Benedictine houses of medieval England. It was dedicated to Mary\, who had reportedly made it known to Egwin just where a church should be built in her honor. \nHe died at the abbey on December 30\, in the year 717. Following his burial many miracles were attributed to him: The blind could see\, the deaf could hear\, the sick were healed. \n\nReflection\nCorrecting abuses and faults is never an easy job\, not even for a bishop. Egwin attempted to correct and build up the clergy in his diocese and it earned him the wrath of his priests. When we are called to correct someone or some group\, plan on opposition\, but also know that it might be the right thing to do.
