Excerpt from History of Saint Norbert: Founder of the Norbertine (Premonstratensian) Order, Apostle of the Blessed Sacrament, Archbishop of Magdeburg The life of Norbert, a Saint of the twelfth century, has been written repeatedly in almost every language. In the "Acta SS." (T. XX. et 1 Junii app. p. 38) one of the Bollandists, Father Conrad Jannick, says: "I hardly know of an illustrious man - king, emperor, or saint - whose life has been written more often than Norbert's." Of Norbert it has been said in very truth, that his deeds have been glorified by numerous historians in their annals, by poets in their verses, by artists on their canvas. As to its historical value, the life-story of Norbert, as Founder of a Religious Order, is a reflection of the ecclesiastical conditions in his days - while as almoner at the court of Henry V, and later as Archbishop of one of the most important sees of Germany, his life gives an insight into the political conditions of a great historical period. When we consider that at one time there were no less than 67 abbeys of Norbertine or White Canons in England, Scotland and Ireland, it seems very strange that Norbert is but little known among English-speaking nations. However, in the first place, we should remember that since the Protestant Reformation, when all these houses were lost, more than three hundred years passed before the sons of Norbert returned to England; secondly, only a very short account of Norbert's life was thus far ever written in the English language.

Thus the abbey of Antwerp became a great center of civilization, and within ten years established three other abbeys which have since preserved the faith in these provinces.11 wCfr. Cath. Encyclop. Vol. I, p. 589: "The Cathedral of Antwerp was originally a small Premonstratensian shrine known familiary as "Our Lady of the Stump." 11 These were: the abbey of Middelburg in Zeeland, and the two abbeys--Tongerloo and Averbode--which exist to this day, both in the province of Antwerp. St. Michael's abbey also founded two convents for Norbertine Nuns, one at Zoetendaal and one at Vroenhout. The latter is at present at Oosterhout in Holland, and has a foundation at Neerpelt in Belgium. Once order was restored in Antwerp, Norbert made every endeavor to help the people to persevere in their good resolutions. But among all the aids to perseverance, there was one of which he spoke continually, the one on which, in the Saint's opinion, the future religious life of the people depended, and that was a sincere devotion to the Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Since Tanchelm had tried hard to eradicate all respect for the Holy Eucharist, Norbert resolved to revive it and be its apostle. He ordered special services to be held with the greatest solemnity to make reparation to Our Dear Lord for the outrages He had endured, and for the many sacrileges that had been committed. Large crowds assisted at these solemnities, and before long a genuine devotion, more fervent perhaps than ever before, possessed the hearts of the faithful. Norbert found another means of perseverance in a sincere devotion to our Heavenly...
