Notes

Nikolaus von Flüe, the Swiss national saint (1417-1487). Brother Klaus, as he is usually called, as a hermit in Ranft, admonisher and advisor to governments, princes and countless pilgrims from near and far, is known to have the Swiss Confederation in an instant thanks to his advice on the Diet of Stans (December 22, 1481) Crisis saved from impending civil war and ruin. Catholic and Protestant Christians agree that Brother Klaus, one of the last mystics of the late Middle Ages, exemplified the "devotion to God" in the unity of religion and life in a rare perfection. The Pope Pius XII. Man of God, canonized on May 15, 1947, is without a doubt one of the greatest figures in Christianity.
