Died 625. Saint Eustace was a favourite disciple and monk of
Saint Columbanus (f.d. November 21),
whom he succeeded as second abbot of
Luxeuil in 611. He ruled over about 600 monks. During his abbacy the
monastery was a veritable seminary for bishops and saints, perhaps
because of the example he gave by his own humility, continual prayer,
and fasting
(Benedictines,
Husenbeth).
