November 6
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Saint Leonard of Noblac.
A Frankish hermit of the 6th century, settled in the Limoges region. He chose to live as a hermit to free prisoners and captives, a dedication that attracted so many pilgrims that an entire town eventually grew around his retreat.
What stays with us: One can choose to dedicate one's entire life to the liberation of those who are chained, without seeking glory. It is a form of tenacity that transforms an isolated place into a center of life and solidarity.
