Life
Saint Rusticus of Narbonne was a monk of Lérins and later Bishop of Narbonne in Gaul. He was born at Marseille or at Narbonne and, according to the Roman tradition, first made a name as a speaker at Rome but longed for the contemplative life and received counsel from Blessed Jerome. He took part in the Third Ecumenical Council at Ephesus in 431 and reposed around the year 462.
He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 26 October (new style, Western calendar). He is not to be confused with Saint Rusticus, Bishop of Trier, remembered on 14 October.
