Pentecost Came to France Through Saint Clotilda

About this sermon

June 3, the vigil of Pentecost is also the feast day of St. Clotilda (d. 545). She married Clovis, the first king of the Franks. He was a pagan with many faults and sins. She was raised in an Arian court in Burgandy without losing her faith. It was through her that Clovis finally converted and received baptism by St. Remigius at Rheims (as well as anointing of kings with a miraculous vile of oil coming down from heaven in the beak of a dove). With the king’s conversion came 3000 of his fellow Franks...and the freedom of the Church in France to teach and convert souls as well as build new churches and monasteries. Through St. Clotilda, France became the “eldest daughter of the Church” and a major foundation stone of Christendom. It was here that Charlemagne was born and raised to become the first Holy Roman Emperor. Recently, the book The Benedictine Option has appeared in print from someone running away from the Catholic Church (the author is now a formal schismatic). From my study of this book, it seems flawed based on many examples of history alone, St. Clotilda being one of them. She did not turn away from the paganism and heresy before her but faced amazing difficulties, imitating the Mother of Sorrows, to experience a little renewal of Pentecost in her native land... History seems to show over and over this is how God works! Thank you St. Clotilda for responding to God’s grace, for working with Him to convert a king and a nation!
