Blessed Notburga (14 September): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

On September 14, The Lives of the Saints recounts the remarkable story of St. Notburga of Rattenberg, a poor Tyrolean peasant girl who entered domestic service and became famous for her charity toward the poor. While working in the castle of Count Henry of Rattenberg, Notburga gathered food left from the lord’s table and distributed it to hungry beggars. She even sacrificed part of her own ration for them. After being forbidden to continue these charities and eventually dismissed, Notburga entered service on a farm at Eben. There tradition remembers one of the most famous episodes of her life: when ordered to continue harvesting after the Saturday bells announced Vespers and the beginning of Sunday, she refused. According to the legendary account, she threw her sickle into the air—and it remained suspended like a crescent moon. Notburga later returned to Rattenberg as housekeeper and once again ensured that the poor received daily assistance. At her death she asked that her body be placed upon a cart and buried wherever the oxen stopped. They came to rest at the church of St. Rupert in Eben, where she was buried. In 1862, Pope Pius IX confirmed her local cult. St. Notburga, pray for servants, workers, farmers, and all who care for the poor. 00:00 St. Notburga of Rattenberg 00:17 A Poor Girl From Tyrol 00:34 Working to Support Her Family 00:43 Servant at Rattenberg Castle 00:51 Feeding the Poor From the Lord’s Table 00:58 Giving Away Her Own Food 01:07 The Countess Forbids Her Charity 01:24 Notburga Continues Helping the Poor 01:33 Dismissed From the Castle 01:40 The Strange Tradition After the Countess’s Death 02:04 Notburga Goes to Work at Eben 02:12 Saturday Vespers During the Harvest 02:20 She Refuses to Work on Sunday 02:46 The Farmer Challenges Her 03:03 The Miracle of the Sickle 03:12 Misfortunes at Rattenberg Castle 03:44 The Count Calls Notburga Back 03:53 She Returns as Housekeeper 04:02 The Poor Are Fed Again 04:10 Notburga’s Final Request 04:18 The Oxen Carry Her Body 04:27 Burial at St. Rupert’s Church 04:36 Pope Pius IX Confirms Her Cult https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/september/the-exaltation-of-the-holy-cross/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintNotburga #LivesOfTheSaints #CatholicSaints #BlessedNotburga #CatholicFaith #ChristianMiracles #PatronOfThePoor #TyrolSaint #CatholicHistory #PopePiusIX #catholicinspiration 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.uscreen.io/join_us 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
