Holy God, who didst endow thy servant Hugh of Lincoln with wise and cheerful boldness, and taught him to commend the discipline of holy life to kings and princes: Grant that we also, rejoicing in the Good News of thy mercy, and fearing nothing but the loss of thee, may be bold to speak the truth in love, in the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Today is the Feast of St Hugh of Lincoln. Hugh was made Bishop of Lincoln after the Cathedral collapsed in an earthquake in 1185. He rejoiced in the company of a pet swan, which has since become his symbol. He is patron saint of sick children, sick people, swans and shoemakers. pic.twitter.com/Iknbed3YFu
