Lessons 4 - 6 from the Divine Office of St Raymond of Pennafort, Confessor. . Blessed Raymund, born at Barcelona, of the noble family of Pennafort, was taught the rudiments of the Christian faith when still a boy; his uncommon gifts of mind and body seemed to indicate some great natural ability. For while still young, he taught the humanities in his native city. Later he went to Bologna, where he applied himself with much diligence to the exercises of piety, and to the study of canon and civil law. He there received the doctor's cap, and interpreted the sacred canons to the admiration of all men. His holiness attained such wide renown, that Berengarius, bishop of Barcelona, when returning to his diocese from Rome, visited Bologna on his way in order to see Raymund; and, after most earnest entreaties, induced him to accompany him to his native city. He was soon made canon and provost of that church, and became a model to the clergy and people by his uprightness, modesty, learning, and meekness. His tender devotion to the Virgin Mother of God was extraordinary, and he ever did his utmost to promote her devotion and honour.
