Saint of the Day – 7 September – Saint Madalberta of Mauberge (Died c706) Abbess. Born into the Merovingian Dynasty in Franc/Belgium in the 7th Century she died in c706 at Mauberge Abbey in Hainaut, in northern France, of natural causes. Also known as – Madelberte, Machtelberthe.
Madalberta was the daughter of Saint Vincent of Soignies and Saint Waltrude. She had the happiness of being educated in the Monastery of Mauberge by their Aunt, Saint Aldegonde, with her sister Aldetrudis. The latter, upon the death of their Aunt, was chosen second Abbess of Maubeuge and succeeded by her sister Madalberta. The image below shows this holy family of Saints.
Madalberta’s succession occurred in around 697 when she succeeded sister Saint Aldetrude, as the Abbess of Maubeuge.
She died in 705 or 706. Her Relics were translated from Maubeuge to Liege by St Hubert about the year 722. Below we see a Church in her name at Liege (Belgium) and presume her Relics might still lie there.
Martyrs of Noli: Four Saints: Christians who became soldiers and were martyred together for their faith. A late legend makes them member of the Theban Legend who escaped their mass martyrdom but that’s doubtful – Paragorius, Partenopeus, Parteus and Severinus. They were born in Noli, Italy and martyred in Corsica, France. Attribute – soldiers with a banner of NoliM
