28 de mayo san Bernardo de Menthon.
Ayudante de los viajeros
Nació en el año 923, probablemente en el castillo Menthon, cerca de Annecy, en Savoya; murió en Novara, en 1008. Fue descendiente de una rica familia aristocrática, y recibió una esmerada educación. Rechazó contraer un matrimonio honorífico propuesto por su padre y de-cidió consagrarse al servicio de la Iglesia. Poniéndose bajo la dirección de Pedro, Archidiácono de Aosta, bajo cuya dirección progresó rápidamente, Bernardo fue ordenado sacerdote y considerando su sabiduría y virtud fue ordenado Archidiácono de Aosta (en 966), haciéndose cargo del gobierno de la diócesis, secundando al obispo. Viendo la ignorancia e idolatría que todavía imperaban entre los pueblos de los Alpes, resolvió consagrarse a su convertirlo. Por cuarenta y dos años se dedicó a predicar el Evangelio a esos pueblos y llevó la luz de la fe incluso a algunos cantones de Lombardía, ocasionando numerosas conversiones y obrando varios milagros.

Things to Know

The Col Du Grand St. Bernard is open for motor traffic from the end of May until mid-October, depending on weather conditions. The Pass is accessible by ski or snowshoe at all other times. Check for avalanche and weather dangers before attempting to visit.
The dogs are kept and kenneled in Col Du Grand St. Bernard in the summer and in Martigny during the rest of the year. Visitors to the interesting museum (fee 8euro, quite good) have an opportunity to visit with the dogs. Dedicated dog lovers can walk with the dogs twice a day for a rather steep fee of 48 euro p/person. The money raised goes to kennel upkeep and dog care. It’s wise to book ahead for this incredible and memorable experience.

He started a patrol that cleared robbers from the mountains, and he established hospices for travellers and pilgrims to Rome, Italy; he established a community of Augustinian Hospitallers to staff them, and they continue their good work today.
