Dear Brothers & Sisters, St.Aidan (Monday) was sent from Iona in 597 by St Columba to evangelise the Northumbrians. After missionaries had earlier returned from Northumbria disheartened he famously said ‘that when you feed a child you offer first milk and not meat.’ St.Columba then gave him the job, and Aidan established the missionary monastery of Lindisfarne. The saints of Lindisfarne include Finan, Colman, Eata, Tuda, Cuthbert, Eadbert, Eadfrith & Aethelwold. Saints who studied there include Chad, Cedd & Wilfred. St.Gregory the Great (Thursday) was the pope who sent Saint Augustine to Canterbury in Southern England while Aidan was a missionary to the North. Moved by the sight of young ‘Angles’ in a roman slave market he was inspired to send a Christian mission to England. St Cuthbert (Friday) was the hero of the Lindisfarne saints in 7th century Northumbria. St.Bede tells how he became bishop of Hexham, then Lindisfarne, a beacon of light & hope in a fragile world After he died his monks searched for a suitable burial place stopping at Durham after many wanderings, where his body is now enshrined in the cathedral, along with other relics including the beautiful cross of St Cuthbert with its mixture of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon metal work. The Bishop of Hexham & Newcastle + Stephen Wright wears a replica of this cross today. St.Teresa of Calcutta (Saturday) aka Mother Teresa, was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Albania, & devoted her life to caring for sick, destitute, & marginalised. She began hospices, homes & centres for the needy. She founded the Missionaries of Charity who serve the "poorest of the poor" in India & the world & she was canonized in 2016
