Sanctulus of Nursia

Saint Sanctulus of Nursia lived in the 6th century and was a priest, mentioned by Pope Gregory the Great in his Dialogues. He is venerated as a saint in the Western Church and remembered on 15 December.

Gregory says that this venerable man could scarcely read and did not know the precepts of the Law. But because love is the fulfilling of the Law, by loving God and his neighbor, he kept the whole Law; what he lacked outwardly in knowledge lived inwardly in his soul through love. Our sources say no more about his life.
