Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints
Day 14 - Liborius
The second bishop of Le Mans, Liborius spent the 49 years in office developing the church in and around Le Mans. He died in the arms of his friend Martin of Tours, and it's after his burial that things got interesting. Several miracles were said to have happened at his tomb, and at the instigation of Pope Leo III Liborius was moved to Paderborn, Germany to serve as the diocese's saint. This began a connection between Le Mans and Paderborn that has survived all the various Franco-German troubles.
And while he's no longer on the calendar, he is still the patron saint for getting rid of/avoiding kidney stones and gallstones, so keep that in mind.
