Fun Fact

As a boy, Ansgar had a vision of his mother with Mary and Jesus. He took this to heart for the rest of his life as he went on to become a monk and nordic missionary. He became known as the Apostle of the North because he spread the faith so genuinely along Northern Europe.

Prayer

Saint Ansgar, intercede to the Holy Ghost that I may remember the small moments that guide and direct me to the most fulfilling life I can have.

Amen.
