St. Drithelm (d. 700) was a wealthy man of Northumbria, England, who supposedly died for a few moments. When that happened he experienced a powerful vision of heaven, hell, and purgatory, and then was found to be alive. When he came back out of this experience he divided his possessions among his wife and children and made benefices for the poor. He then became a monk Melrose Abbey. He lived as a hermit there with great austerities.


St. Drithelm please pray for us to attain heaven.
