👉🏻 Link to yesterday’s post.
Holy Father, these very weeks feel like ascending a long set of stairs. We finally see we are about to reach the top and it’s been exhausting. We just need to climb a few more steps, each thereof feeling like a hundred. We have this choice: either we stop and rest at once, maybe risking a backward fall, or we let our Faith in You give us the Joyous Strength we need to achieve this endeavor: we shall rest in Heaven. We have no choice but You.
AGENDA
Today we celebrate Herbert of Derwentwater.
Saint Herbert of Derwentwater (died 20 March 687) was an Anglo-Saxon priest and hermit who lived on the small St Herbert's Island in Derwentwater, Cumbria, England. His friendship with St Cuthbert is explored in a poem by William Wordsworth. Herbert's date of birth is unknown. He was for long a close friend and disciple of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, at whose request he became an anchorite, living for many years on the small Derwentwater island now named after him. He ate fish from the lake and grew vegetables round his cell. Herbert visited Cuthbert in Lindisfarne every year to receive spiritual direction. In AD 686, hearing that his friend was visiting Carlisle to give the veil to Queen Eormenburg (widow of Ecgfrith of Northumbria), he went to see him there, instead of at Lindisfarne as was usual. After they had spoken together, St Cuthbert said, "Brother Herbert, tell to me now all that you have need to ask or speak, for never shall we see one another again in this world. For I know that the time of my decease is at hand." Then Herbert fell weeping at his feet and begged that St Cuthbert would obtain for him the grace that they might both be admitted to praise God in heaven at the same time. And St Cuthbert prayed and then made answer, "Rise, my brother, weep not, but rejoice that the mercy of God has granted our desire." Herbert, returning to his hermitage, fell to a long sickness, and purified of his imperfections, died on the same day, 20 March 687, on which St Cuthbert died on Holy Island.

See you tomorrow, Frens!🤓
Pen, I typically start my day with your post and read your prayer (but don’t comment. ) Hold the line is quite a marker for how far we’ve come. I pray for all of you, for President Trump and his family, for our children, grandchildren, and every sweet young soul that is in any unthinkable position. God watch over us and keep us.
Thank you for your uplifting remark, Fren. God bless you.🙏🏻
