Mildred was the daughter of Merewald, an Anglian ruler of the seventh century. Her mother was St. Ermenburga, a Kentish princess. Mildred was educated at the convent school in Chelles, near Paris. Following her stay in France, she was pursued by a young man with marriage in mind. Mildred rejected his overtures and entered a monastery called Minster that had been founded by her mother. The monastery was located on the Isle of Thanet, and St. Theodore of Canterbury received her into the community of which she eventually became abbess. Mildred had reputation for great holiness and for generosity and compassion to the poor and rejected. She died about the year 700. St. Mildred saw the nobility of the religious life and thus rejected what could have been for her a titled life of ease. Her detachment from this world's goods led her to a firm commitment to Jesus and His poor.

Mildred was my 78 year old elder sister who died Thursday 14 Oct'2010 in Cape Town of heart failure.She made a heartbroken renewal of her faith in Christ last year September in public while in hospital in deep contrition,confession of sin in true repentance at the Cross of Jesus.She and I her only younger brother wept bitterly while clinging to each other begging The Lord Jesus to cleanse us in His precious blood from our sin ,to forgive us and to fill us with his Holy Spirit and to keep us faithful to Him,to His Father,to The Holy Spirit,to His Word and Way to our end.We were born again in Elohim wonderfully and gloriusly.I did not know of St.Mildred the Abbess and am blessed to learn of her via your website.May all the world go to Calvary's Cross in spirit for cleansing and salvation.It's beautiful,I know.
