Life
Bruno (c. 1030-1101) was born in Cologne and taught theology at Reims before withdrawing from the world. In 1084 he founded the Carthusian Order, one of the most austere contemplative orders in the Church, at the Grande Chartreuse in the French Alps, combining solitary and communal monastic life. He died at his hermitage in Calabria.
The saint of the day, every day
