Teach me both what to give and what to withhold; when to reprove and when to forbear; make me to be gentle, yet firm; considerate and watchful; and deliver me equally from the weakness of indulgence, and the excess of severity; ...

Artaldus (also called Arthaud) was born in the castle of Sothonod in Savoy.

Reading 1, Galatians 3:7-14 7 Be sure, then, that it is people of faith who are the children of Abraham. 8 And it was because scripture foresaw that God would give saving justice to the gentiles through faith, that it announced the future gospel to Abraham in the words: All nations will be blessed in you. 9 So it is people of faith who receive the same blessing as Abraham, the man of faith. 10 On the other hand, all those who depend on the works of the Law are under a curse, since scripture ...
