Saint Guibert de Gembloux
Bénédictin à Gorze (+ 962)
Ayant hérité, à la mort de son père, du domaine de Gembloux, près de Namur, il y construisit un monastère de bénédictins et obtint pour eux, de l'empereur Othon Ier, le droit d'élever des remparts, de battre monnaie et de tenir des marchés publics. Puis il se rendit à Gorze en Lorraine, où il vécut saintement. Quelques temps avant sa mort, les moines de Gembloux, se souvenant de lui, vinrent lui demander de leur réserver sa dépouille mortelle qu'ils emportèrent en effet à Gembloux qui devint par la suite un lieu de pèlerinage célèbre durant tout le Moyen Âge.
Saint Guibert, Saint Trond, le Bienheureux Jean de Vandières, abbés et tous les saints moines du diocèse.
Parmi les moines qui se sont sanctifiés dans les monastères mosellans, bon
nombre sont restés dans l'ombre. Citons seulement saint Guibert, qui fonda un
monastère à Gembloux (Belgique), puis se retira à l'abbaye de Gorze, où il
mourut le 23 mai 962. Saint Trond, qui
naquit vers 628 dans la Hesbaye (Belgique). Il reçut sa formation à Metz (vers
654-658) et y fut ordonné prêtre. De retour dans son pays, il fonda, en 660, le
monastère dont il devint abbé et qui prit plus tard le nom de Saint-Trond (près
de Liège). Il mourut en 693. Le bienheureux Jean de Vandières (ou
de Gorze), qui fut, au Xe siècle, le principal animateur du mouvement de
réforme parti de Gorze. Il mourut le 20 février ou le 7 mars 976.

Un internaute nous signale: Selon Christophe Butkens (Trophées du duché Brabant, Anvers 1562), l'abbaye de Gemblours fut fondée par Gislebert de Brabant avec la protection de l'empereur Otton et du comte Lambert de Louvain en l'an 948. L'abbaye de Gemblours est située dans le duché du Brabant alors dans l'évêché de Cambrai.
Mais il est avéré que l'abbaye de Gembloux fut une fondation de Guibert qui s'était retiré à l'abbaye de Gorze en Lorraine.
À Gembloux au pays de Liège, en 962, la mise au tombeau de saint Guibert,
moine. Après avoir déposé les armes et embrassé la discipline de la vie
monastique, il construisit un monastère dans son domaine héréditaire et
lui-même alla mener la vie monastique à Gorze.

Guibert de Gembloux
Lieu de naissance inconnu
892, Gorze 23/05/962
Issu d’une famille noble, proche du roi de Lotharingie, Guibert de Gembloux est connu comme le fondateur de l’abbaye Saint-Pierre de Gembloux.
Fils de l’un des principaux officiers du roi de Lotharingie, Guibert entre au service du roi Lothaire, par la volonté de son père. À la mort de celui-ci, il s’installe dans un domaine familial de Gembloux, où il mène une vie d’ermite. Il décide de se faire moine à l’abbaye de Gorze, près de Metz. Il fait don des terres héritées de son père et fonde le monastère bénédictin de Gembloux, qu’il dédie à saint Pierre. Il nomme à la tête de la communauté le moine lorrain Erluin et s’en va pour Gorze.
Sa retraite n’est pas de tout repos et Guibert de Gembloux est contraint, à plusieurs reprises, d’intervenir pour défendre les droits de sa fondation. Accusé par Othon Ier d’avoir donné à l’abbaye des biens qui ne lui appartenaient pas à titre héréditaire, il est sommé de se justifier auprès du roi, qui finit par accorder un diplôme confirmant toutes les donations faites par le moine à son monastère et le dote de privilèges, tels que le droit de frapper monnaie, de construire une forteresse, de désigner l’abbé successeur…
Guibert dut également défendre le monastère des visées de son beau-frère Héribrand qui revendiquait une partie de la terre de Gembloux, et des destructions des Huns.
À la mort de Guibert de Gembloux, son corps fut transporté, depuis Gorze, dans
le monastère qu’il avait fondé à Gembloux pour y être inhumé. Il fut canonisé
en 1211.

Saints
of the Day – Guibert (Guibertus) of Gembloux, Abbot
Article
Died at Gorze on May 23,
962; canonized in 1211. Guibert, a noble of Lorraine, was a well-known military
leader, but he abandoned his military career for the religious life. He became
a hermit on his estate at Gembloux, Brabant, and with the help of his
Grandmother Gisla, in 936 founded a Benedictine monastery on the estate with
Herluin as abbot and donated the estate to the monastery.
Guibert then became a
monk at Gorze but was summoned before Emperor Otto I to defend his right to
donate the estate (it was an imperial fief) to the monastery – which he did
successfully. He was again obliged to defend the monastery when the count of
Namur seized its revenues, claiming that it belonged to his wife, and again
successfully defended the monastery against the count, his brother- in-law.
Guibert was active in missionary work among the Hungarian and Slav soldiers who
remained in Brabant after an invasion in 954 (Benedictines, Delaney).

Saint of the Day – 23 May
– St Guibertus of Gorze (892-962)
Posted on May
23, 2021
Saint of the Day – 23 May
– St Guibertus of Gorze (892-962) Monk , Hermit, Founder of the Abbey of
Saint-Pierre, of Gemblou at Namur , Belgium. Born in the Lorraine region of
France in 892 and died on 23 May 962 at Gorze Abbey in France of natural
causes. Also known as – Guibertus of Gembloux, Guibert. Wibert.
An aristocrat from
Lotharingia who had participated in several military campaigns, Guibertus
withdrew as a Hermit on family property in Gembloux inherited from his father.
In 936, Guibertus was
assisted in the erection of a Monastery and the selection of its Monks by
Erluin (died 987), who had resigned a Canonry to become a Monk. Some of
Guibertus’ relatives challenged the legality of the monastic foundation, on the
grounds that the Monastery was built on land of the Imperial fisc, which had
been given in fee to Guibertus’ ancestors and could not be alienated without
imperial authority. Emperor Otto I summoned Guibert and Erluin to his Court but
was so favourably impressed with the manner in which they defended their
undertaking, that on 20 September 946, he issued an imperial decree approving
the foundation of Gemblacum and granting it various privileges.
After his stay at Gorze
Abbey in Lorraine, he came back with the Rule of Saint Benedict for his
Monastery of Gembloux and appointed his friend Erluin the first Abbot of
Gembloux, while he himself became a Monk at Gorze Abbey near Metz. The Moastery
was dedicated to Saint Peter and the Martyr, Saint Exuperius. He returned twice
to Gembloux. The first time was in 954, when the Hungarians threatened to
pillage the Monastery. Guibertus not only saved it from harm but also converted
some Hungarians to Christianity. The second time was in 957, when his
brother-in-law, Heribrand of Mawolt, had seized the revenues of the Monastery.
Guibertus persuaded Heribrand to leave the possessions of the Monastery
unmolested in the future.
The Monks were active in
missionary work among the Hungarians and Slavs who stayed behind in the Duchy
of Brabant after the invasion of 954.
When Guibertus died, the
Monks of Gembloux came to collect the body of their Founder from the Abbey of
Gorze where he had died. After having buried his body, they exhumed it and
treated the body with salt and aromatics to prevent decomposition during its
transport to the Abbey of Gembloux.

Gemblours
(Gembloux, Gemblacum)
A suppressed Benedictine monastery about
nine miles northwest of Namur on the river
Orneau in Belgium,
founded c. 945 by St. Guibert (Wibert) and dedicated to St. Peter the Apostle
and the holy martyr Exuperius.
St. Guibert was assisted in the erection of the monastery and the
selection of its monks by
Erluin, who had resigned a canonry to become
a monk. Some of
Guibert's relatives impugned the legality of the monastic foundation on the
plea that the monastery was
built on fiscal land which had been given in fief to Guibert's ancestors and
could not be alienated without imperial authority. Emperor Otto I summoned
Guibert and Erluin to his court, but was so favourably impressed with the
manner in which they defended their pious undertaking
that on 20 September, 946, he issued an imperial diploma approving the
foundation of Gemblours and granting it various privileges. Guibert appointed
his friend Erluin first Abbot of Gemblours,
while he himself become a monk at the monastery of Gorze
near Metz. Twice he returned to the Gemblours; once in 954, when the Hungarians
threatened to pillage the monastery, on which
occasion he not only preserved it from injury, but also converted some
Hungarians to the true Faith;
and a second time in 957, when his brother-in-law Heribrand of Mawolt had
seized the revenues of the monastery. He persuaded
Heribrand to leave the possessions of the monastery unmolested
in the future. On 23 May, 962, St. Guibert died at Gorze and his remains were
brought to Gemblours. When monastic discipline was well established at
Gemblours, Erluin attempted, at the suggestion of Count Regnier of Hainaut, to
reform the monastery of Lobbes in 955. But
on the night of 20 October, 958, three of the monks of Lobbes,
who hated reform,
assaulted Erluin in his cell, dragged him outside of the monastery, and inflicted
on him serious bodily injuries. Erluin died at Gemblours on 10 August 986,
after Pope Benedict
VII had granted his monastery exemption
and papal protection.
During the short reign of
his successor Heriward (987-990), the monks voluntarily relinquished
their right of exemption in favour of Bishop Notger of Liège, who was friendly
disposed towards the monastery.
Heriward was succeeded by Erluin II (990-1012), under whose weak administration
monastic discipline greatly relaxed. His successor Olbert (1012-1048), a pious and
learned abbot,
restored discipline, built a new abbey church in
1022, organized a rich library, and by
encouraging sacred and profane learning gave the first impulse to the
subsequent flourishing condition of
Gemblours. During the period of its greatest intellectual activity
Gemblours was ruled over by Mysach (1048-1071); Thietmar (1071-1092); Liethard
(1092-1115), and Anselm (1115-1136). Under Thietmar flourished the famous
chronicler Sigebert (1030-1112), who in a neat Latin style wrote a chronicle of
the world from 381-1111, a history of the Abbots of Gemblours, and other
historical works of great value. His chronicle was continued by Abbot Anselm
till 1136, and his history of the Abbots of Gemblours by the monk Gottschalk, a disciple
of Sigebert. The learned prior Guérin, who was a famous teacher at the school of
Gemblours, was a contemporary of Sigebert. In 1157 and again in 1185 the monastery was
destroyed by fire, and though rebuilt, it began from this period to decline in
importance. In 1505, under Abbot Arnold II of Solbrecg (1501-1511), it became
affiliated with the Bursfeld Union (see Bursfeld, Abbey of). It was pillaged by
the Calvinists in
1598, and was partly destroyed by fire in 1678 and again in 1712. It was just
beginning to recover from these heavy misfortunes when in 1793 the Government
suppressed it. The buildings are now used for a state agricultural college.

GEMBLOUX, ABBEY OF
Benedictine abbey near
Namur, Belgium; founded c. 922 by St. Guibert (Wibert), monk from the
Abbey of gorze. On Sept. 20, 946, Emperor Otto
I approved the foundation against the feudal claims of Guibert's
relatives. Erluin (d. 986) succeeded Guibert after the latter's retirement to
Gorze and obtained a charter of exemption from Pope Benedict VII. This right
was surrendered to the friendly Notger, Bishop of Liège by Abbot Heriward (d.
990). Gembloux (Gemblours, Gemblacum) began its period of greatness under
Olbert, who ruled from 1012 to 1048. He enlarged the monastery, built a new
church, organized the library, and restored the discipline of the house, which
had lapsed during the rule of his predecessor, Erluin II. During the rule of
Abbot Thietmar, the Benedictine historian Sigebert (d. 1112) wrote the
important chronicle of the world, and commenced the history of the abbots of
Gembloux, which was continued by his disciple Gottschalk (see sigebert of
gembloux). Prior Guerin, his contemporary at Gembloux, won fame at this time as
a monastic teacher. In 1505 Abbot Arnold II of Solbrecg (d. 1511) affiliated
his jurisdiction of Gembloux with the Abbey of bursfeld in Hildesheim. During
the religious wars, Gembloux was pillaged by Calvinists. In addition to this
devastation in 1598, damage by fires threatened its ruin in 1678 and 1712. It
was suppressed in 1796, but the buildings are used as a state agricultural
institute.

San Guiberto di
Gembloux Monaco
m. 962
Martirologio
Romano: Presso Gemboux nel territorio di Liegi in Lotaringia, nell’odierno
Belgio, deposizione di san Guiberto, monaco, che, abbandonata la vita militare
e abbracciata la disciplina della vita monastica, costruì un cenobio su un
fondo di sua proprietà, ritirandosi poi nel monastero di Gorze in Lotaringia.
Le fonti, assai numerose, relative a s. Guiberto, sono piuttosto tardive; segnaliamo una Laudario, dovuta a Erlui-no, abate di Gembloux (MGH, Script., Vili, pp. 15-16), una Elevatio (1106; ibid., pp. 516-18), dei Miracula (ibid., pp. 518-23) e soprattutto una Vita, scritta da Sigeberto di Gembloux (senza dubbio tra il 1071 e il 1075: ibid., pp. 507-16), che, accanto a qualche raro dato tolto dalla tradizione orale in vigore nell'abbazia, forniscono soprattutto delle varianti di stile su considerazioni ascetiche, intramezzate da numerose citazioni della Sacra Scrittura. Nato senza dubbio alla fine del sec. IX da una famiglia della regione di Namur, Guiberto avrebbe prima esercitato il mestiere delle armi, decidendosi poi a rinunziare ai beni terreni; verso il 936 donò la sua terra di Gembloux a Dio per costruirvi un monastero, che affidò ai monaci dell'abbazia di Gorze. Lasciata la carica di abate ad Erluino, si ritirò a Gorze dove morì, dopo aver promesso — si afferma a Gembloux — che il suo corpo sarebbe appartenuto a questa abbazia. Elevate nel 1110, le sue reliquie furono messe in una cassa dall'abate Ancardo nel 1550 e se ne fecero ricognizioni nel 1623 e 1871. Festa il 23 maggio.
