00:00Today, October 5, the church celebrates Saint Fleur, a hospital nun from Quercie.

00:11On this same day, we also commemorate Saint Charitina of Rome, a martyr of the 4th century,

00:18but it is above all Saint Fleur who is honored in our popular tradition.

00:21Saint Fleur, sometimes called Flore, was born in 1309 in Morse, a small town in Cantal, Auvergne.

00:32She grew up in a deeply Christian family, marked by a simple and sincere piety.

00:39At a very young age, she stood out for her gentleness and great sensitivity to serving others.

00:45It is said that as a child she already loved to care for the sick and support those who were suffering,

00:50as if God had imprinted a vocation on her before she was even aware of it.

00:57At the age of 13, Fleur felt called to dedicate her life to Christ.

01:02She then joined the Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, in the house of Beaulieu, in Quercie.

01:10This order's mission was to welcome and care for pilgrims and the poor.

01:14Fleur committed herself to it with all her heart and her sisters testified that she showed limitless availability,

01:23an angelic sweetness and a rare patience in the most thankless tasks.

01:28However, his religious life was not a long, quiet river.

01:33Saint Fleur was tested by many temptations and great periods of spiritual anguish.

01:38She knows the assaults of doubt and discouragement.

01:44But each time, she entrusts herself to Christ with childlike faith, persevering in prayer and service.

01:52She finds in the Eucharist a source of consolation and inexhaustible strength.

01:57The locals see her as a nun of dazzling purity,

02:01radiant like spring flora in the midst of trials.

02:04His simple and joyful holiness attracts hearts.

02:10She becomes a figure of hope for the poor and the sick.

02:13and all those who come to seek help and comfort from the hospitallers.

02:19Saint Fleur died young, in 1347, at only 38 years old.

02:25Very quickly, his memory was surrounded by popular veneration.

02:29Many miracles are attributed to him, including healings.

02:32His burial place becomes a place of pilgrimage,

02:36especially for patients with headaches and nervous diseases

02:40which she still protects today as a patron saint.

02:45For centuries, the name Fleur has remained associated with luminous purity,

02:50to quiet joy and humble service.

02:53In an era marked by crises and conflicts,

02:59Saint Fleur is a reminder for us.

03:02Holiness can flourish in everyday life,

03:06in simple gestures of charity,

03:08and illuminate far beyond the cloister.

03:10Prayer to Saint Flower

03:13O Holy Flower,

03:16You who chose Christ from your youth,

03:19You who patiently served the poor and the pilgrims,

03:23Come and make our lives bloom with your gentleness and your hope.

03:27Teach us to see the face of the Lord in the sick,

03:30the little ones and the excluded.

03:33Make our hearts humble, available and joyful,

03:36even in the midst of trials and temptations.

03:38Intercede for us with God

03:42so that we may be healed of our inner wounds

03:45and strengthened in faith, charity and peace.

03:49Saint Flower, patron saint of those who suffer,

03:52accompany us on the path to holiness

03:54and help us to spread around us the fragrance of Christ's love.

04:08– Saint Flower, patron saint of those who suffer,
