O God, who in your mercy called your servant Bishop of Edbert of Lindisfarne to the following of Christ, grant us by your Holy Spirit to follow his example of devotion to true doctrine, careful study of the Scriptures, and devotion to the poor, that we may join him hereafter in the glorious company of the saints in light, through Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit ever liveth and reigneth in glory everlasting, Amen.
May 6: Feast of Eadberht (†698), bishop of Lindisfarne. He roofed the tidal island’s wooden church with lead, and gave to the poor each year a tenth of his livestock, grain, fruit and clothing. Eadfrith succeeded him. 📸xlibber pic.twitter.com/lf3yhyf8FO
