St. Lioba was a nun at Wimborne and a friend of St. Boniface, who invited her to Germany. She arrived about 748.  St. Boniface made her abbess of a women's monastery at Sischofsheim, and gave her the duty of supervising all nuns in the missionary church (she was functionally an archabbess). The great woman of the Lord abbess Lioba founded women's monasteries also in Kitzingen and Ochsenfurt. She was much sought after by rulers and princes for her wisdom and ability to train women in living the angelic life. She wrought various miracles; one that is well remembered today is her instantaneous quelling of a storm by her prayers. She was a friend of Hildegard, the wife of Charlemagne, and was beloved of Pippin III. She retired with a group of Anglo-Saxon nuns to a new community near Mainz donated by Charlemagne, and there, on Sept. 28, 782, she passed to the Lord. She was buried next to her mentor St. Boniface, who had been like an uncle to her, but later her relics were elevated and translated twice, and now rest at Petersburg in Fulda.

Holy Mother Lioba, pray to God for us!
