| St. Bruno (c 1035 -1101) was born in Germany and is the founder of the Carthusians, a strict monastic order. His legacy is a religious Order which, alone of all the Orders, has never had to be reformed, so strictly have his followers stuck to his ideals. On his deathbed he made a Profession of Faith in the Trinity and the Eucharist. One of his favorite sayings is, "While the world changes, the cross stands firm."
There is one Carthusian Monastery in the United States, called the Charterhouse of the Transfiguration, in Arlington, Vermont. | |
