Saints celebrated on the 30th of June
Prayer to the Angels and the Saints
Heavenly Father, in praising Your Angels and Saints we praise Your glory, for by honouring them we honour You, their Creator. Their splendour shows us Your greatness, which infinitely surpasses that of all creation.
In Your loving providence, You saw fit to send Your Angels to watch over us. Grant that we may always be under their protection and one day enjoy their company in heaven.
Heavenly Father, You are glorified in Your Saints, for their glory is the crowning of Your gifts. You provide an example for us by their lives on earth, You give us their friendship by our communion with them, You grant us strength and protection through their prayer for the Church, and You spur us on to victory over evil and the prize of eternal glory by this great company of witnesses.
Grant that we who aspire to take part in their joy may be filled with the Spirit that blessed their lives, so that, after sharing their faith on earth, we may also experience their peace in heaven. Amen.
ST ERENTRUDE, ABBESS
Saint Erentrude is a 7th century Irish Saint, sister of Saint Rupert, who accompanied him to his Apostolate in South Germany/Austria. He made her abbess of a hilltop Benedictine monastery of nuns in Salzburg, known as Nonnberg. After a holy life, she died shortly after St Rupert, on June 30, 718.
A STRING OF MIRACLES
The translations of relics took place in 1023 and 1624; parts of the head are preserved in a precious reliquary from 1316; the other relics under the altar of the monastery choir. The empty stone sarcophagus is still found in the crypt of St Erentrude. Caesarius, a chaplain at Nonnberg, details a string of miracles wrought through the intercession of St Erentrude.
