Life of St. Norbert, founder of the Premonstratensians The easygoing clergyman of Xanten disliked the "new" Norbert and were annoyed by his enthusiasm as well as by the implied reproach which his life cast on theirs. Norbert of Xanten, a town near the Holland-German border, did not begin his career as a reformer. The salaries from the Xanten fund and the royal treasury were enough to equip him to live in the pleasurable style of the nobility of the times. www.snc.edu /norbertines/life.html   (1707 words)

Lives of the Saints (June) GOD awakens the saints to the reality of His presence in a variety of ways, some of them quite dramatic: thunder and lightning was the way for Saint Norbert. As before, the saint had little success with the worldly clerics; as an alternative line of action, however, the bishop suggested that Norbert found his own community of canons and gave him land for this purpose in the desolate valley of Premontre', near the city of Laon. In his Youth, Norbert's family had secured an appointment for him as a canon at the collegiate church in Xanten; such positions were largely honorary, although usually given to priests, and people were accustomed to seeing the canons leading very worldly lives. www.geocities.com /barats2000/JuneFeasts.html   (39 words)

Norbert, whose feast day is June 6, was born around the year 1080 in Xanten, Germany. One major issue of conflict was that those in authority in the German Empire tried to use their power to appoint those in positions of authority in the Church. www.monksofadoration.org /Norbert.html   (39 words)

Sisters Between: Beguines The Premonstratensians' founder, Norbert of Xanten, allowed sisters to do charity work "in the world," but his successor, Hugh of Fosses, stressed the superiority of the contemplative life for the order as a whole. His effort to establish the Beguines as an official order also underscored his need to apply at least some structure to the "between-ness" of their form of piety: the Beguines could find a legitimate place in the Church, but its boundaries had to be clearly defined. Although some groups were initially sympathetic to lay women's participation, as were the Premonstratensians (founded early-twelfth century), their policies eventually changed in favor of claustration. www2.kenyon.edu /Projects/Margin/beguine1.htm   (7602 words)
