July 1
St. Thierri, Abbot
[Abbot of Mont-d’Hor, near Rheims.] HE was
born in the district of Rheims. His father, Marquard, was abandoned to every
infamous disorder. An education formed on the best Christian principles in the
house of such a person would more than probable be blasted by his bad example;
but our saint was happily removed, and educated in learning and piety, under
the edifying example of the holy Bishop Remigius.
He married in complaisance to his relations; but
easily persuaded his wife to embrace the virgin state; and becoming himself a
monk, he was made superior of an abbey founded by St. Remigius on Mont-d’Hor,
near Rheims. Some time after he received holy orders, and became famous by the
many extraordinary conversions he wrought through the zeal and unction
wherewith he exhorted sinners to repentance; among these was his own father,
who persevered to his death under the direction of his son. He succeeded also,
in conjunction with St. Remigius, in converting an infamous house into a
nunnery of pious virgins. According to the most common opinion, he died on the
1st of July, 533. It is said that King Thierri assisted at his funeral, and
esteemed himself honoured in being one of his bearers to the grave. His relics,
lest they should be exposed to the impiety of the Normans, were hidden under
ground, but discovered in 976, and are still preserved in a silver shrine. He
is mentioned on this day in the Roman Martyrology. See Mabillon, Act. t. 1. p.
614. Bulteau, Hist. de l’Ordre de St. Ben. t. 1. p. 287; Baillet ad 1. Jul. and

SAINT THIERRY DU MONT D'HOR
01 July - Saint Thierry or Thierry du Mont d'Hor was
the son of Lord Marcard, a famous highwayman. He would have been born in the
5th century or at the very beginning of the 6th century and would have died
around 533. On his wedding day, he discovered that he had a monastic vocation.
A marriage he did not contract of his own free will
but under pressure from his father. So he decided, against his wife's advice,
to go to the Archbishop of Rheims to undo his marriage. He first became a
cleric and then retired to a monastery he founded on the hill of Mont d'Hor,
which became Saint-Thierry near Rheims. Thierry was the first abbot and had the
joy of seeing his father who had converted to join him in monastic life.
His sanctity was soon known and many sick people
flocked to the monastery. It is even said that Thierry cured the sick eye of
Thierry I, son of Clovis I. This is why the kings of France had the custom
after their coronation to go to the abbey to eat there. This rite continued
long after the death of the saint in 533. He was buried by King Thierry I and
the bishops Hespérius of Metz, Nizier of Trier and Loup de Soissons
