"Traditional Catholic Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Holy, Saint William, Archbishop. He was of a illustrious family of the ancient Counts of Nevers, was educated by Peter the Hermit, Archdeacon of Soissons, his uncle by the mother’s side. From his infancy William learned to despise the folly and emptiness of the world, to abhor its pleasures, and to tremble at its dangers. His only delight was in exercises of piety and in his studies, in which he employed his whole time with indefatigable application. He was made canon, first of Soissons and afterwards of Paris; but he soon resolved to abandon the world, and retired into the solitude of Grandmont, where he lived with great regularity in that austere Order until finally he joined the Cistercians, then in wonderful odor of sanctity. After some time he was chosen Prior of the Abbey of Pontigny, and afterwards became Abbot of Chaalis. On the death of Henri de Sully, Archbishop of Bourges, William was chosen to succeed him. The announcement of this new dignity which had fallen on him overwhelmed him with grief, and he would not have accepted the office had not the Pope and his General, the Abbot of Citeaux, commanded him to do so. His first care in his new position was to conform his life to the most perfect rules of sanctity. He redoubled all his austerities, saying it was incumbent on him now to do penance for others as well as for himself. He always wore a hair shirt under his religious habit, and, never added to his clothing in winter or diminished it in summer; he never ate any flesh meat, though he had it at his table for strangers. When he drew near his end, he was, at his request, laid on ashes in his hair cloth, and in this posture expired on the 10Th of January, 1209. His body was interred in his cathedral, and being honored by many miracles, was taken up in 1217, and in the year following William was canonized by Pope Honorius III.
Reflection: The champions of faith prove the truth of their teaching no less by the holiness of their lives than by the force of their arguments, Never forget that to convert others we must first see to our own souls. 🤔️
