the Almighty hath prepared for them that love him, and which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive. The perfect detachment from created things is a sacrifice most pleasing and most perfect in the estimation of the Creator, and to it, the most faithful and favoured of his servants continually aspire.
The Acts of this venerable man whose name has been Latinized Menulfus,
or Menulphus—and by the French called Menou—were formerly preserved
in Manuscript, at the church of St. Autrille-du-Chateau, near Bourges. They were first published by le Pere Labbe. The Breviary of the church at Bourges, printed a. d. 1512, has his office of three Lessons included. Like- wise, his office has been printed, at Paris, in 1686. It is now celebrated under a simple rite. The Acts of St. Menou, who probably flourished in the
seventh century, and who became bishop of Quimper, in Bretagne, have been 1
publishedbyLobineau. Theyhavebeenpublished,likewise,bytheBollan- 2
dists, at the 12th of July. There is a previous commentary,3 by Father
John Baptist Soller, S. J. , the editor. Then follow the proper Acts. * The ""
Petits Bollandistes have an account of this saint, and also at the same date. s
It is agreed, by the various writers of his Acts, that Menou was a native
6
of Ireland; but, regarding the particular place where he was born, or his
parentage, we find no record. There, too, it seems his first years were spent ; yet, for the sake of greater perfection, he was induced to leave his family and nativecountrywhilestillveryyoung. Atfirst,hewenttoGreatBritain,and thence, he travelled to Armorica, until he came to Quimper, also known as Quimper-Corentin, the present capital of the Department of Finistere in France. It is situated on the declivity of a hill, at the confluence of the Odet and Steir, about thirty-two miles south-east from Brest. ? At that time, this city formed part of the country, belonging to the Ossimiens. 8 It is now divided into an old and a new town, but the houses are poorly built. It is surrounded with a wall, and guarded by towers. Its present cathedral is a fine structure of the fifteenth century, and it is situated near the port. 9 The bishopofQuimperisnowasuffragantotheArchbishopofTours. Accord-

That pious bishop of his acquaintance saw the youthful stranger, and asked about the country from which he came, as also the motives that induced him to travel. In the Breton language, Menou answered, that he was a native of Ireland, and that his sole desire was to serve God in the country to which he hadcome. Theprelatefound,thathehadbeenwelleducated,andmoved by his pious desire, the young man was admitted to the ranks of the clergy, and also ordained a priest. Having been invested with this sacred character, Menou was not alone satisfied with offering the Adorable Victim; but even, he became a living sacrifice to God, owing to his practice of corporal mortifi- cation. His great Faith and devotion rendered him an object of respect and
affection among the people.

standing the positive statement contained in the Legend of his Life, it is said, that the name of St. Menulfus or Menou is not to be found in the Lists of
Bishops,belongingtoQuimper-Corentin. TheBollandistsdonotdeny,that our saint had been a bishop; but, whether he had been a regionary
prelate, or had belonged to some See unknown, they think cannot be
16
determined.
Having now become a pastor of souls, the saint was careful, not alone to
instruct his people diligently in the truths of salvation, and to distribute the sacred bread of God's word, but likewise to edify them by his regular and
exemplarylife. Hischaritywasoccupiedincessantly,inwatchingwithsolici-
tude over the spiritual concerns of his flock, and in healing the temporal ills to
which they were subject. Hearing of his holiness and good works, a certain
noble, that had been thrown into prison by the chief of that country, mani-
fested a great desire to become converted through his preaching, and to
receive his benediction. The zealous pastor, being informed regarding the
the pious dispositions of the prisoner, sent his ring and a message, that he should not despair of God's bounty, and that he should soon have reasons
forthanksgivingbecauseofHisinfinitemercies. Theringwasreceivedwith
great pleasure by the prisoner. Touching his chains with it, these broke asunder, in the presence of all the keepers, so that the noble was set at liberty. At once, he went to visit St. Menou. Prostrate at his feet, the liberated man showed his lively sense of gratitude. He received also the Christian instruc- tion necessary for his reception of Baptism. Afterwards, full of joy, he returned to live among his own people.
A vow had been made by St. Menou, to visit the tombs of the Apostles.
With some of his priests in company, he accordingly parted for the city of Rome. When he had arrived there, the fame of his virtues could not long
be concealed. A remarkable miracle was wrought by him, in favour of a paralytic, who asked an alms from him, and who in return received even a
greater bounty, viz. :

Sovereign Pontiff earnestly pressed our saint to remain longer in Rome. Nevertheless, the servant of God, having fully satisfied his devotion, resolved on returning to his own flock. Accompanied by his priests, St. Menou left Rome, and returned to France. He came to Mouilly, a small town in the
Department of l'Allier, formerly known as that of Bourbonnais, and at present
18
it is in the diocese of Moulins.
When he arrived there, the holy man forewarned his disciples, that death
was approaching, and he even announced to them the very day and hour. They were overwhelmed with sorrow, to hear this sad news. They assembled around their beloved pastor and master, praying him to become their inter- cessor in Heaven, as he had been their model and protector in that school of peifection where he had trained them while on earth. Their pious bishop then exhorted them to persevere in virtuous pursuits for the rest of their days.

Then receiving the Holy Viaticum, and reclining as if he were about to pass into a calm slumber, Menulph gave forth his last breath in prayer. Being free from contagion of sin during his life, so he was exempt from painful sufferings at the hour of death. In his old Acts, it is stated, that he departed this life, on the fourth day of the July Ides, corresponding with the 12th day ofthismonth. Hisgreathumilityurgedhimtoselectanalmostunknown spot in the cemetery of St. Germain, and his wishes in the matter were faith- fully regarded. The village of Maliacum, where he had been interred, has since been called from him St. Menouil, in Bourbonnais.
A miracle wrought at his tomb caused a local magnate named Arcade to
cause a church to be erected there, in honour of the holy bishop ;*9 while a
nunnery of religious women was also established, in that place. The third Abbess, named Adalgise, caused St. Menou's body to be raised from the

saint's relics are still preserved in the ancient church, which has since become
parochial. Not only in the place, which now preserves his name, has the veneration of St. Menou been established, but throughout the whole diocese
of Bourges. A reason assigned for his memory not being so well preserved in Bretagne is owing probably to the circumstance of his death occurring without that province. However, there are still places there, such as Pont- Menou, le Val-Meno, and Ker-Meno, evidently associated with his name. It is thought, likewise, that St. Nolf, the name of a parish in the diocese of
Vannes, has reference to St. Menou, who is called Menulphus in Latin. 21 The feast of this holy bishop is kept on the 12th of July, and on that day he is venerated in the ancient French Calendars.
