Walfrid got owned, but actually he was owning the world
[d. 765]
I’m sorry but it’s worth it: I’m going to just quote someone else entirely today. From the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould’s incredible 16-volume The Lives of Saints, published between 1872 and 1877:
Walfrid, a native of Pisa, was married to a virtuous wife, by whom he had five sons. Both he and his wife then resolved to retire from the world. He founded and governed the abbey of Monte Virido, in Tuscany, near Volterra. There is nothing of remarkable interest in his life.
Truly inspiring.
