Odilo of Cluny

This guy is one of my favs.
We owe All Souls Day to him (for which I'm sure MANY are grateful).

He's pictured as a Benedictine abbott with a skull and crossbones at his feet.... which is kinda cool.:)

Read more about it at Saint Odilo

He was kind and gentle to others, and for his liberality he was sometimes criticized.
A saying attributed to him is "I would rather be condemned for showing too much mercy, than for showing too much justice"

It's a message we can all use.

Praise God for His Mercy
