Robert Grosseteste, one of the outstanding English bishops of the thirteenth century, rose to preeminence in the Church from humble beginnings to distinguish himself as a scholar in all branches of study: law, medicine, languages, sciences, and theology.

Besides all this scholarly work, Grosseteste showed conspicuous energy and dedication in his work as bishop, saying “I am obligated to visit the sheep committed to me with all diligence, as Scripture prescribes.” He was indefatigable in carrying out visitations of his diocese, traveling regularly to each rural deanery, calling the clergy and laity together, preaching, confirming, and dealing with doctrinal questions.

Today is his commemoration, in the Anglican calendar.
