Kinsfolk Welcoming Her Arrival in the Mission Area (740s?)
Her brothers, Willibald and Wunibald, welcomed Walburga and the nuns with her to Germany. Willibald became the first bishop of Eichstätt, a diocese created in 741 by Boniface. In 752 Wunibald founded a monastery at nearby Heidenheim and became its abbot.
Let us pray we too may respond humbly and lovingly to God’s Divine Providence.
