Yesterday (September 27) Was The Commemoration Of St. Sigebehrt, King Of East Anglia, Who Established
Yesterday (September 27) was the commemoration of St. Sigebehrt, King of East Anglia, who established the nucleus of Cambridge University sometime in the 7th century (mid-600s), which was a monastic school at its core and later on became the university that it is today.
On the 19th of October, St. Frideswide (or St. Frithuswith) is commemorated. She’s a nun from the 7th century, daughter of King Didan of Eynsham, and she established the monastery which later on became Oxford University.
Why don’t more people talk about the origins of these great institutions? To deny these facts is erasure of the Christian heritage of modern society. It is thanks to the Christian faith that humanity has advanced this far.
"The human being is an animal who has received the vocation to become God."
+ St. Basil of Caesarea

“The cave in the mountains above Sambata monastery where the Romanian elder, Fr. Arsenie Boca, would retreat for fasting and prayer in solitude.”
If we weave by day and undo at night, nothing gets woven.
If we build by day and destroy by night, nothing is ever built.
If we pray to God and do evil before Him, then nothing is woven and a house for our soul is not built.

Prayer request: I've developed an infection. Please add me to your prayers in you loving kindness. God bless.
For love to grow, it must be given. A person who does not give even the little love that he has is like a foolish farmer who clenches a handful of seeds, unwilling to sow them, and yet expects a harvest.
