Heavenly Father, who didst call thy servant Bede, while still a child, to devote his life to thy service in the disciplines of religion and scholarship: Grant that as he labored in the Spirit to bring the riches of thy truth to his generation, so we, in our various vocations, may strive to make thee known in all the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Today is the feast of St Bede, historian and the only English Doctor of the Church. The young saint taught by St Benedict Biscop in 1990s glass by Goddard & Gibbs at St John, Felixstowe, and writing his history in Moira Forsyth's 1964 Benedictines window in Norwich Cathedral. pic.twitter.com/FFX7Jhq6an
