St. Avitus ruled his monastery with prudence and zeal. By his holy example he induced others to walk the way of perfection.

Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. ~First Responsory

And unless a man be elevated in spirit, and freed from attachment to all creatures, and wholly untied to God, whatever he knows, and whatever he has, is of no great importance. ~Imitation: Book III

Ideal~ Just a simply monk, he was, who said his prayers devoutly, loved his fellow men, worked for God, was content with the ordinances of Providence, and now he is a saint in heaven.

Today~ It all sounds so simple, and, if we love God very intensely, it is easy. You know what St. Augustine says: “Love God and do as you please.”

Slogan~ My Beloved to me and I to my Beloved.
