00:00He who seeks God in silence finds him in peace.
00:07This is the spirit that animated Saint Ulrich, an 11th-century monk, a discreet but determined architect of the reform of the Church.
00:16Born around the year 1029 in Alsace, into a noble family, Ulrich was educated in the Christian faith and discipline.
00:24At a very young age, he chose to renounce the world and entered the Benedictine monastery of Cluny, then the beating heart of monastic reform.
00:35At Cluny, he received a demanding training, silence, manual work, regular prayer and obedience.
00:44Ulrich distinguished himself there by his piety, his humility and his rigor.
00:48After several years, he was sent to found a priory in the Black Forest, at Zelle, near Freiburg, present-day Germany.
00:57There he built a small monastery in a wild and isolated region, in order to live the rule of Saint Benedict in all its purity.
01:06Ulrich becomes an abbot, a guide for a man who has come to seek God far from the tumult.
01:10It conveys the spirit of Cluny: austerity, beauty of the liturgy, inner silence.
01:19It also teaches peace, charity, stability of heart.
01:24He fights heresy with truth and gentleness, and heals the sick in body and soul.
01:30It is said that he always carried a penitential rope with him,
01:34not to punish ourselves, but to never forget that Christ suffered out of love.
01:38He died around the year 1093, surrounded by his brothers.
01:44His reputation for holiness spread, and his tomb became a place of pilgrimage.
01:50He is invoked against illnesses, especially rabies and fevers.
01:56Even today, Saint Ulrich is a model for those who seek God in faithful prayer,
02:03silence and hidden service.
02:05Saint Ulrich of Zelle, man of peace and silence,
02:10help us put God back at the center of our lives
02:12and to seek the truth in prayer and simplicity.
