Her Father and Brothers Set Off as Pilgrims (720)
The departure of her father and two elder brothers as pilgrims to Rome made a deep impression on Walburga. Richard died at Lucca, Italy. The youths reached Rome where St. Wunibald (c.701-761) became a monk. The more robust St.Willibald (c.700-787) continued on to the Holy Land.
Let us pray that we may deepen our own commitment to Christ, our Holy Redeemer.
