Happy St. Cuthbert Day

I stole this from a priest I know: If you want to pray for the aid of a great saint that may have lots of free time, pray for St. Cuthbert to intercede for you. I did a bit of research when He said this and sure enough Cuthbert was a English monk who was a very holy man. I have grown to appreciate St. Cuthbert more as I get older and hopefully wiser.

Did you know that St. Patrick was Scottish? He was kidnapped and taken into slavery into Ireland. He briefly escaped and came back to convert the pagans and chase out the snakes (I always laugh when people take latter literally).
