The Life of St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne

While shepherding on the border of Scotland and England, the young Saint Cuthbert had a vision which led him to become a monk. His asceticism surpassed all those of his generation, bringing him to the heights of noetic prayer and spiritual vision, and most importantly, to the depths of humility. For this, God granted him the grace to work miracles and sent him out into the country to preach to the pagans, many of whom converted to the Orthodox Faith.
