We give you thanks, O Father, for Saint Finan of Lindisfarne, faithful servant of God and humble shepherd of His people; grant us by your Holy Spirit to follow his example of being an eloquent teacher and able evangelist to those who do not know you, for the sake of Jesus christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, ever one God. Amen.
February 17th is the feast of Saint Finan of Iona: Irish-born Columban monk, missionary to the Anglo-Saxons, and second Abbot-Bishop of Lindisfarne, in Northumbria, where he died on this day in A.D. 661—having personally baptized Kings Sigeberht of Essex and Peada of Mercia. pic.twitter.com/hyfBN50q9H
