St. Disibod
Irish bishop and patron of Disenberg
(Disibodenberg), born c. 619; died 8 July, 700. His life was written in 1170
by St. Hildegarde,
from her visions.
St. Disibod journeyed to the Continent about the
year 653, and settled in the valley of the Nahe, not far from Bingen. His
labours continued during the latter half of the seventh century, and, though he
led the life of an anchorite,
he had a numerous community, who built bee-hive cells, in the Irish fashion, on
the eastern slopes of the mountain. Before his death he had the happiness of seeing
a church erected, served by a colony of monks following the
Rule of St. Columba,
and he was elected abbot-bishop, the monastery being
named Mount Disibod, subsequently Disenberg, in the Diocese of Mainz. Numerous miracles are
recorded of the saint.
Some authors are of the opinion that his death really took place on 8 Sept.,
whilst the date 8
July is that of the translation of his relics in the year
754, St. Boniface being
present.

St. Disen, or Disibode, of Ireland, Bishop and
Confessor
THIS saint was a holy Irish monk, who, having in
his youth grafted learning upon sanctity, illustrated not only his own island,
but also France and part of Germany. By preaching he had taught many souls to
walk in the narrow paths of Christian perfection in his native country, when he
travelled into France about the year 652. His zealous exhortations, enforced by
the weight of his example, produced wonderful fruit in all places which were
blessed with his presence. Sermons infected with vanity, studied eloquence, or
a worldly spirit, lose their attractive force; but sincere humility and a
perfect spirit of piety gave to the words of our saint a secret energy which
opened to him the hearts of those to whom he spoke, and made the pure maxims of
the gospel to sink deep into their souls. The example of his meekness,
patience, and charity softened the most hardened. St. Disibode founded the
great monastery, called from him Disenberg, at present a collegiate church of
canons in the diocess of Mentz; and, on account of the extraordinary success of
his apostolic labours, was himself ordained a regionary bishop, without any
fixed see. He died about the year 700. See in Surius the history of his life
and miracles, written by St. Hildegardis, abbess of Mount St. Robert, or Rupert,
at Bingen, in the Lower Palatinate on the Rhine, about the year 1170; also
Solier, p. 581.

San Disibodo Eremita
Irlanda VII sec. – Renania (Germania), VII secolo
Martirologio Romano: Nella Renania, in Germania,
san Disibódo, eremita, che, radunati alcuni compagni, fondò un monastero lungo
la riva del fiume Nahe.
E' un santo eremita della Renania (Germania) vissuto nel VII secolo; fu eremita solitario per un certo tempo, poi ebbe una schiera di compagni che crebbero di numero man mano, essi si stabilirono in un luogo di eremitaggio comune, che in seguito prese il nome di Disibodenburg, non lontano da Kreuznach, sulle rive del fiume Nahe, affluente di sinistra del Reno, nell’attuale diocesi di Spira ma che nel Medioevo era arcidiocesi di Magonza.
Lo storico agiografo Rabano Mauro, arcivescovo di Magonza dall’847 all’856, lo menziona per la prima volta nel suo celebre ‘Martirologio’.
Verso la metà del secolo X san Disibodo ebbe grande venerazione nell’abbazia benedettina di S. Albano fuori Magonza.
Di lui non si hanno notizie certe, perché la sua ‘Vita’ scritta da s. Hildegarda verso il 1170, è interamente leggendaria; esso è considerato irlandese e corepiscopo (i corepiscopi erano quegli ecclesiastici che avevano ricevuto la consacrazione episcopale ma non una diocesi, aiutavano i vescovi titolari nel loro ministero, specie nelle campagne; gli ultimi sopravvissero in Irlanda fino al XIII secolo).
La festa di s. Disibodo si celebra l’8 luglio.
