He suffered greatly from violent headaches which prevented him from carrying out his devotions. \nIn an effort to cure them he made a pilgrimage with his abbot to seek the intercession of Saint Michael at \nMonte Gargano and that of Saint Benedict at Monte Cassino. While at Rome he was ordained by Pope Leo IX. On his \nreturn he was healed of the severe headaches by the intercession of Saint Adalard, a former abbot of Corbie, of \nwhom Gerald wrote a hagiography.\n\nHe later made a pilgrimage to Palestine, after which he was elected abbot of St. Vincent's Abbey, Laon, but the \nmonks did not accept his authority or the imposition of proper discipline. After some five years he resigned \nfrom Laon in order to become abbot of St. Medard's Abbey, Soissons, but was driven out by an usurper.\n\nHe then sought instead to found a new Benedictine monastery. Duke William VIII of Aquitaine gave him a huge \ntract of forest in the Gironde near Bordeaux, where Gerald founded the abbey of Grande-Sauve,of which he was \nalso the first abbot. This developed into a powerful community for the advancement of the Benedictine Rule and \nmode of life, with significant influence from the customs of Cluny. Gerald began the practice of celebrating \nmass and the Office for the Dead for 30 days after the death of a community member. His constant advice to his \nmonks for as long as he lived was that they should shun all discussion. He died at Grande-Sauve Abbey.\n\nHe was canonized in 1197 by Pope Celestine III. His feast day is 5 April.","brand":"Picturesongold","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867450192025,"sku":"88727-233283-PSS","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867450159257,"sku":"88727-233284-PSS","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867450126489,"sku":"88727-233285-PSS","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867450290329,"sku":"88727-233283","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867450257561,"sku":"88727-233284","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867450224793,"sku":"88727-233285","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867450323097,"sku":"88727-233287","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867450355865,"sku":"88727-233291","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867450388633,"sku":"88727-233294","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867450486937,"sku":"88727-233289","price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867450421401,"sku":"88727-233292","price":269.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867450454169,"sku":"88727-233297","price":349.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867450552473,"sku":"88727-233286","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867450585241,"sku":"88727-233290","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867450519705,"sku":"88727-233295","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48867450650777,"sku":"88727-233288","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48867450683545,"sku":"88727-233293","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48867450618009,"sku":"88727-233296","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/3510\/4921\/files\/gp_nftyw_88727_1442430038.jpg?v=1786553207"}],"url":"https:\/\/aliviadanny.com\/collections\/saint-gerald-of-sauve-majeure-medals.oembed","provider":"Alivia \u0026 Danny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
