OCTOBER 6: THE FATHER OF THE CARTHUSIANS
Saint Bruno of Cologne
Priest and Founder
Died: 1101
---
He was a German priest and the founder of the Carthusian Order. One of his students became the pope - Pope Bl. Urban II. He was offered to become a bishop, but he refused. He had an inspiration to establish a community of hermits in the mountains of Chartreuse. This became the Carthusians, an eremitic order which values solitary contemplation. They profess a perpetual vow of abstinence from meat and complete silence.
