Bienheureux Frédéric de
Ratisbonne
Frère augustin (+ 1329)
Ce religieux de l'Ordre de Saint Augustin n'eut pas une vie brillante aux yeux des hommes.
Né à Ratisbonne en Allemagne dans une famille de classe moyenne, il entre au couvent des Augustins comme frère convers ou "frère lai" et sert la communauté en tant que charpentier et comme forestier, ce qui lui permettait de vivre comme un ermite, heureux de vivre dans cette création de Dieu. Très dévot, il est connu pour sa piété et son amour de l'eucharistie. Il fut déclaré bienheureux 1909.
À Ratisbonne en Bohême, l'an 1329, le bienheureux Frédéric, religieux de
l'Ordre des Ermites de Saint-Augustin. Charpentier adroit, il fut encore plus
remarquable par sa ferveur à prier, son obéissance et sa chasteté.

Blessed Frederick of Regensburg
November 29
Frederick of Regensburg
(died 1329) was an Augustinian Brother known for his generosity, humility,
dedication to prayer and devotion to the Eucharist.
Many legends exist about
Frederick, but documented factual information is scarce.
He was born in
Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. He joined the Order of Saint Augustine at Saint
Nicholas Monastery in his native city.
Frederick worked in the
monastery as a wood cutter and carpenter. His love for prayer, generous
charity, devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and humility were evident to all in
the community.
He died November 29, 1329
in Regensburg. He is buried at St. Cecelia Church, Regensburg. Following his
death, many miracles were credited to his intercession. He is sometimes called
Frederick of Ratisbon. Pope Pius X proclaimed him Blessed in 1909.

Blessed Frederick of
Regensburg - 29th November
27 June 2020
Blessed Frederick is a
fine example of putting into practice what St. Augustine maintained: “where
there is humility, there is love; where there is love there is peace”.
Frederick did not pronounce this with his treatises and his writings, but by
his example of leading a life of fidelity and religious observance. His date of
birth is unknown, but we know that he was born around the second half of the
XIII century and that the city of his birth was Regensburg (or Ratisbone),
Germany. At a young age he decided to join the Augustinians who had a convent
in that city and where, in 1290, the General Chapter that finally approved the
oldest known Constitutions of the Order, the so-called “Constitutions of
Ratisbona”, was celebrated.
As a novice friar and one
of the religious brethren, as soon as he completed his one-year trial period he
made his solemn vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and he engaged his body
and soul towards the service of his brethren, as was expected of him by the
community. A docile and affable person but, above everything, he was determined
in the belief that everyting he did was pleasing to God and that he would serve
his brethren. He knew that, on being professed, the common good had to take
precedence in community life over any personal gain. His life was described as
a continuous song of humility, genuine humility that sought the truth.
His biographers praised
the various aspects of his simple way of life: obedience towards his superiors,
the least possible words and only when required, attention to the community’s
sick, service to his fellow friars, simplicity and poverty. His genuine life of
prayer that he lived, rendered in him a great devotion towards the Eucharist.
In those days daily communion was not normal, not even for the friars. In
fact, the Constitutions used to indicate how many times during the year one was
permitted to receive communion, and such occasions were quite few. However,
Frederick’s spiritual hunger rendered him, in adoration, one and the same thing
as the Eucharist.
Later historic happenings
revealed this devotion through the apparitions that he used to have by an angel
who used to bring him communion, many times whilst he used to be in the woods
collecting wood for the oven; something which he much enjoyed because it gave
him the opportunity to experience the quietness of nature where he could spend
time working and praying. He died a blessed death in 1329, The devotions
towards him, especially in the region of Regensburg, never ceased and in 1909
Pope Pius X added his name to the list of the Blessed. His remains are still
honoured in what was the Augustinian Church of Ratisbone.
In the Augustinian Order,
Blessed Frederick is traditionally recognised as being the patron of the religious
brethren, or the fraternities, because, by his example, even they can achieve
holiness. May through his intercession even more youths recognise and welcome
this Augustinian call as he himself did, and to embrace this with perseverance
until the end. Blessed Frederick reminds us how we ourselves should lead a life
of true humility.
Blessed Frederick of
Regensburg, religious
Feast Day: Nov, 29
Frederick was born in Regensburg (Ratisbon), Germany, and joined the Order there in the Monastery of Saint Nicholas. His life as an Augustinian was marked by humility and generosity, dedication to prayer and great devotion to the Eucharist. His talents served the community principally as carpenter and woodcutter, activities in which he demonstrated his concern for his fellow religious and the needs of the monastery. Frederick died on November 29, 1329 in Regensburg where devotion to him continued without interruption, and the testimony of miracles attributed to his intercession, were gathered. Frederick is buried at St. Cecelia Church in the city of Regensburg. Pius X beatified him on May 12, 1909.
History has not left us a great deal of factual information about Blessed
Frederick. Perhaps this is an indication of the ‘ordinariness’ of this servant
of God, who spent his religious life in fidelity to the daily cycle of prayer
and work which characterize so many religious of his day and ours. Frederick
reminds us that loyal devotion to one’s state in life, lived in faith, charity,
and generosity, is the material of which holiness consists.

Saint of the Day – 30 November
– Blessed Frederick of Regensburg OSA (Died 1329) Lay Friar of the Order of St
Augustine, devotee of the Blessed Sacrament. Born in the late 13th century in
Regensburg, Bohemia (in modern Germany) and died on 30 November 1329 in
Regensburg, of natural causes. Additional Memorial – 29 November in the
Augustinian Order.

religious life in fidelity to the daily cycle of prayer and work, which
characterises so many religious of his day and ours. Frederick reminds us that
loyal devotion to one’s state in life, lived in fidelity to the Gospel is the
means to holiness.
Blessed Frederick was
born of poor parents in Regensburg, Germany. He entered the Augustinian
Monastery of Saint Nicholas in that City as a lay brother. At that time, the
Monastery of Saint Nicholas was considered to be the most important community
of the Bavarian Province of the Order and even hosted the General Chapter of
1290, at which the first Constitution of the Augustinians was promulgated.
His life as an
Augustinian was marked by humility and generosity, dedication to prayer and
great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.
His talents served the
community principally as carpenter and woodcutter, activities in which he
demonstrated his concern for his fellow religious and the needs of the
Moonastery.
Frederick died on 30
November 1329 in Regensburg where devotion to him continued without
interruption and the testimony of miracles attributed to his intercession, were
gathered. Frederick is buried at St Cecelia Church in the City of Regensburg.
St Pius X Beatified him
on 12 May 1909.
Blessed Frederick’s
secret to holiness and message to us, is one of humble service and generous
offering of self for the well being of others. His life of prayer and devotion
to the Blessed Sacrament were the food that nourished his spirit and
strengthened his daily resolve, to live for God and to practice love for his
brothers – which is the heart of the Gospel.

Beato Federico da
Ratisbona Religioso eremita agostiniano
† Ratisbona, 29 novembre
1329
Il beato Federico nacque
a Ratisbona (Germania) da genitori appartenenti alla classe media. Entrato come
fratello laico nel convento degli agostiniani, servì la comunità come
falegname. Divenne ben presto noto per la sua religiosità, la sua umiltà e la
sua ardente devozione per l'Eucaristia. Poco si sa della sua vita, conosciamo
però alcune leggende. Quella più conosciuta narra che Federico un giorno, non
potendo partecipare alla Messa, ricevette proprio nel luogo dove stava
lavorando la comunione da un angelo. Racconti come questo rispecchiavano la
devozione eucaristica del nostro beato e provano la profonda influenza prodotta
sui contemporanei e il culto incessante che gli fu tributato. Federico morì a
Ratisbona il 29 novembre del 1329. Nel 1909 Pio X lo proclamò beato. (Avvenire)
Martirologio
Romano: A Ratisbona nella Baviera in Germania, beato Federico, religioso
dell’Ordine degli Eremiti di sant’Agostino, che, solerte falegname, eccelse per
fervore di preghiera, obbedienza e carità.
Il Beato Federico nacque a Ratisbona (Germania) da genitori appartenenti alla classe media. Entrato come fratello laico nel convento degli agostiniani, servì la comunità come falegname con il compito di provvedere alla legna occorrente per l’uso quotidiano. Univa il lavoro manuale ad una profonda vita di preghiera. Divenne ben presto noto per la sua religiosità, la sua umiltà e la sua ardente devozione per l’Eucaristia.
Poco si sa della sua vita, conosciamo però alcune leggende. All'inizio di questo secolo è stata rinvenuta la relazione scritta di due di esse nella biblioteca del capitolo metropolitano di Praga, pubblicate poi dal canonico Dr. Podlaha. L'autore, P Hieronymus Streitel, Priore di Ratisbona e cronista dell'Ordine nel primo decennio del sec. XVI, raccoglie tradizioni orali e in particolare quelle messe insieme per la composizione del ritratto istoriato che uno dei suoi immediati predecessori a capo della comunità ratisbonense, il P Konrad Schleier, aveva commissionato per decorare la tomba di Federico. La leggenda più conosciuta narra che Federico un giorno, non potendo partecipare alla Messa, ricevette proprio nel luogo dove stava lavorando la comunione da un angelo.
La preferenza per la coloritura dei fatti storici fa guardare oggi con sospetto, se non con un tendenziale rifiuto a simili racconti. Ma il narratore medievale non era interessato tanto alla vita dei santi, quanto alla loro testimonianza e alla conferma e al riconoscimento divino della loro santità. Egli aveva intenzione di rappresentare un esempio di virtù, un ideale religioso e entusiasmare così gli animi. Racconti come questo rispecchiavano la devozinne eucaristica del nostro beato e provano la profonda influenza prodotta sui contemporanei e il culto incessante che gli fu tributato.
Il Beato Federico morì a Ratisbona il 29 novembre del 1329.
Gli sforzi del servo di Dio Padre Pio Keller andarono a buon fine quando il papa San Pio X, il 12 maggio 1909, ratificò la venerazione ininterrotta di cui Federico aveva goduto e lo proclamò Beato.
Dal 1913 i suoi resti mortali, insieme al menzionato lavoro pittorico, che di
fatto risulta la più antica “Vita” del Beato, sono esposti alla venerazione dei
fedeli nella chiesa di S. Cecilia di Ratisbona.
La sua memoria liturgica ricorre il 29 novembre.

Den salige Fredrik av
Regensburg ( -1329)
Minnedag: 30.
november
Den salige Fredrik (ty:
Friedrich) ble født en gang på 1200-tallet i Regensburg i Bayern i
Sør-Tyskland. Han var sønn av fattige middelklasseforeldre. Som ung mann ble
han opptatt som legbror hos augustinereremittene (Ordo Fratrum Eremitarum
Sancti Augustini – OESA; siden 1969 Ordo Sancti Augustini – OSA)
i Regensburg. Han arbeidet der som snekker, og det var også hans jobb å hogge
ved til brensel. Han pleide å takke Gud for at det fantes et arbeid som han var
egnet til.
Bortsett fra noen
overleverte legender og en kort, konvensjonell biografi som ble utgitt i 1615,
vet vi ikke mer om Fredriks liv, bare at han allerede mens han levde ble æret
som hellig av folket. Han fremhevet seg snart for sin religiøsitet, sin ydmykhet
og sin brennende hengivenhet for eukaristien. Han forsømte aldri å motta
kommunionen. Men da han en dag under messen måtte hogge opptenningsved, viste
en engel seg for ham og ga ham kommunionen (se illustrasjonen).
Han døde den 30. november
1329 i Regensburg. Hans navn ble tatt inn i kalenderen og hans grav var på
1400- og 1500-tallet målet for mange valfarter og han ble kalt salig, noe som
tyder på at han ble høyt æret av sine samtidige. Han ble offisielt saligkåret
den 12. mai 1909 ved at hans kult ble stadfestet av den hellige pave Pius X (1903-14).
Hans minnedag er dødsdagen 30. november, men 29. november nevnes også.
Da augustinereremittene i
Regensburg bygde et nytt kloster i 1911, fant Fredriks levninger sitt siste
hvilested i den tilhørende sognekirken St. Cecilia. Selv om klostret ble
oppløst i 1987 på grunn av manglende ettervekst, har relikviene blitt værende i
Friedrichskapelle i kirken St. Cecilia. Der befinner det seg et maleri av en
anonym kunstner fra 1699, og der blir Fredrik fremstilt som augustinereremitt
omgitt av 12 medaljonger med avbildninger av hans undergjerninger.

Friedrich trat als Laienbruder ins damalige Kloster der Augustiner-Eremiten in seiner Heimatstadt ein und arbeitete dort als
Schreiner. Seine tiefe Frömmigkeit, sein Gebetseifer, sein
Gehorsam, seine Nächstenliebe und wunderbare Ereignisse führten dazu, dass er
schon zu Lebzeiten als Heiliger verehrt wurde.
Im 15. und 16.
Jahrhundert wurde Friedrichs Grab, das heute in der Kirche
St. Cäcilia in Regensburg ist, von vielen Wallfahrern besucht.
Im 16. Jahrhundert verfasste der damalige Prior und Ordenschronist
Hieronymus Streitet eine Sammlung von Legenden über Friedrich. Die bekannteste
erzählt, dass Friedrich eines Tages, als er an der Teinahme an der Messe
verhindert war, in seiner Werkstatt von einem Engel die Eucharistie empfing.
Kanonisation: Friedrich wurde v. a. auf Betreiben
von Pius Keller am 12. Mai 1909 von
Papst Pius
X. selig gesprochen.
1 Oft wird als Todestag der 30. November
genannt. Zwar steht auf der ehemaligen Grabplatte von Friedrich obiit die
S. Andreae - gestorben am Andreastag;
Friedrich starb jedoch am Vorabend, der liturgisch schon zum nächsten Tag
gehört.

Seliger Friedrich von Regensburg (Festtag am 29. November)
Friedrich von Regensburg
wurde vermutlich als Sohn einer angesehenen Bürgerfamilie in der Mitte des 13.
Jahrhunderts geboren. Die Predigten Bertholds und die Person eines Albertus
Magnus auf dem Bischofsstuhl dürften die prägendsten Glaubenseindrücke seiner
Jugend gewesen sein. Seinen Eintritt ins Kloster soll ein an Franz von Assisi
erinnerndes Bekehrungserlebnis veranlasst haben.
Friedrich wird Augustiner-Mönch
Anders als viele junge Menschen seiner Zeit trat Friedrich nicht in den Orden
der Dominikaner oder Franziskaner ein. Ihn zogen die Augustiner an, die 1267
eine Niederlassung in der Domstadt gegründet hatten. In der zum Kloster
gehörenden Kreuzkapelle wurde die Verehrung der Eucharistie von den Augustinern
besonders gepflegt; nach der Legende war sie immer ein besonderes Anliegen
Friedrichs. Seine Profess dürfte eine der ersten des jungen Konventes gewesen
sein.
Am 29. November 1329 starb Friedrich, nachdem er seine Mitbrüder um Verzeihung
und ihr Gebet ersucht hatte. Von Anfang an Ort des Gedächtnisses, entwickelte
sich das Grab vor allem im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert zum Ziel zahlreicher Pilger,
die den Laienbruder wie einen Heiligen verehrten. Häufige Gebetserhörungen
trugen zusätzlich zum Aufschwung der Wallfahrt bei.
Ruhestätte in St. Cäcilia
Am 12. Mai 1909 genehmigte Papst Pius X. die allgemeine Verehrung Friedrichs
als Seliger. Im Jahr 1913 erfolgte schließlich die feierliche Übertragung der
Reliquien nach St. Cäcilia, wo zwei Jahre zuvor ein neues Augustinerkloster
errichtet worden war. In einem neuen Schrein fanden sie dort ihre letzte
Ruhestätte am Friedrichsaltar. Alljährlich pilgern die Mitglieder des
Augustinerordens an seinem Gedenktag zum Grab des Seligen.
