Having been committed in his earliest childhood by the Senator, Eutychius, his father, to the care of Saint Benedict, the great Patriarch of The Monks of The West, Saint Maurus faithfully reproduced all the virtues of his Master.

The latter, having commanded him to save young Placid, who was drowning, he walked with simple confidence on the waters of a torrent and brought him back safe and sound.

Having been sent to Gaul, according to a Tradition, he promulgated “The Holy Rule of Saint Benedict”, Founded The Monastery at Glanfeuil, France, and wrought many Miracles.

By his Doctrine, permeated by Evangelical perfection, and by his Works, that is to say. by thousands of Abbeys which, during twelve Centuries covered France, and which all sprang from the one he had Founded, he bore striking testimony to The Divinity of Jesus.

He died in 584 A.D.

Mass: Os justi: (From The Common of Abbots).
