S. Wynnol, Abbot, Confessor. 



Called in Brittany Gwenael, was the successor of S. 

 Winwaloe in the abbacy of Landevenec. 



He was son of a Briton named Eomelius, and his mother's 

 name was Ltetitia, or in Breton Lavenez : they had migrated to 

 Armorica. One day, when S. Winwaloe was visiting King Grallo, 

 he passed a number of boys at play. One of these, on seeing 

 him, left his game, and ran to the abbot, knelt at his feet, and 

 begged to be admitted into his community. 



Winwaloe looked into his fresh face, blessed him, and bade 

 him return to his companions and to his sports. But the child 

 would not be thus put off. When Winwaloe went on his way, 

 he saw that the boy followed at a distance. He turned, and said, 

 "My son, go home, my way is long, and arduous and rough." 

 " Then I will tread in your steps," promptly answered the lad. 



As his parents raised no objection, Winwaloe took the yoimg 

 aspirant after monastic perfection with him to Landevenec, on 

 his return from the visit to Grallo.
