| Saint Adrian the Abbot |
History
Saint Adrian was born in Africa,
and eventually he became the abbot of a monastery near Naples, Italy. He was
offered the position of archbishop, but decided he was better off in charge of
a monastery. He was a great teacher, and the archbishop of
Canterbury in England asked Adrian to come there to be abbot of their
monastery. Adrian did this, and the monastery became a famous center of
learning.
Activity
Saint Adrian the Abbot understood
how important it is to keep learning and never stop. Go over today’s Mass
readings – read them slowly and try to find one thing new to learn from them.
When you spot something new, pause and ask God to help you understand it. Then
read that portion again, more slowly. Think quietly about what God is trying to
teach you through that passage. Read it a third time, and stop and listen for
God’s voice in your heart. Finally, thank God for loving you and teaching you.
Saint Adrian the Abbot, pray for us!
