Saint Milburga (23 February): Butler's Lives of the Saints
Published 8 hours ago
St. Milburga (7th Century), royal daughter of King Merewalh of Mercia and sister to St. Mildred, renounced earthly nobility to become a bride of Christ. Chosen as Abbess of Wenlock in Shropshire, she transformed her monastery into a paradise of virtue through humility, purity of heart, and holy peace.
Though born to a royal line descending from King Penda of Mercia, St. Milburga chose sackcloth over purple and diadems. Her life reminds us that true glory is found not in earthly crowns, but in heavenly reward.
She died on February 23rd, as confirmed by ancient English manuscripts and the Roman Martyrology. In 1101, during the translation of her relics, many miracles accompanied the discovery of her remains after the Danish destruction of the abbey. A Cluniac monastery was later erected upon the sacred ground.
In today’s reading from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we reflect on:
Royalty surrendered for Christ
The virtue of humility
The love of purity and holy peace
The glory of hidden sanctity
St. Milburga teaches us that sanctity flourishes in hidden obedience and quiet faithfulness.
Pray for us, O holy Abbess of Wenlock!
