  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 26th of May WELCOME! SAINT AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY, BISHOP AND CONFESSOR  ⬅️ Saintly Archbishops of Canterbury [England and Wales: 26th May, elsewhere: 27th May.] The Saxons, English, and Jutes, pagan Germans, who in this island began in 454 to expel the old Britons into the mountainous part of the country, had reigned here about one hundred and fifty years, when God was pleased to open their eyes to the light of the gospel.   THE ABANDONED PART OF THE VINEYARD Saint Gregory the Great , before his pontificate, had desired to become himself their apostle; but was hindered by the people of Rome, who would by no means suffer him to leave that city.

Whether it as the voice of a boy or a girl I cannot say, but again and again it repeated the refrain “Take and read, take and read” (Tolle lege, Tolle lege). TOLLE, LEGE, TOLLE LEGE At this I looked up, thinking hard whether there was any kind of game in which children used to chant words like these, but I could not remember ever hearing them before. I stemmed the flood of tears and stood up, telling myself that this could only be a divine command to open my book of scripture and read the first passage on which my eyes should fall.

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 28th of August WELCOME ! SAINT AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO, BISHOP AND DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH ⬅️ Doctors of the Church - Complete List ➡️ The Conversion of Saint Augustine Born at Thagaste in North Africa in 354, Saint Augustine was a brilliant young man whose early life was wild and unsettled. He was converted by the prayers of his mother, and baptised by Saint Ambrose , bishop of Milan, in 387. He returned to Africa, and lived an ascetic life. He became Bishop of Hippo. His many writings present a theology and a spirituality that are exceptional, and have had great influence on subsequent thinking. PRAYER:  Lord, renew in your Church the spirit you gave Saint Augustine. Filled with this spirit, may we thirst for you alone as the fountain of wisdom and seek you as the source of eternal love. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
