About this Blog for the SUV Calss of 2016

Following a schedule initiated in April 2015, weekly posts on this blog highlight the prayer/intention of every student in the SUV 7th grade class. Prayers and intercessions are original works of the students. Their intentions are arranged over the course of one year to coincide with the feast days of their Patron Saints (chosen in the sacrament of Confirmation). Other intentions appeal to Guardian Angels or are especially fitting on special days of recognition, as indexed in the label column to the right of the blog page.

Prayers are posted here so that they can be observed remotely with intent to grow as a spiritual community through the power of collective thought.

Saint Bede the Venerable (May 25)

For St. Bede the Venerable, may he watch over young scholars and pass on the great knowledge he possesses to these pupils. We pray to the lord.

                                      Justin


St. Bede's Church History has earned him the title of “Father of English History.” It is a plain unadorned chronicle ; but that the author was thoroughly honest and most painstaking is evident to any reader. Saint Bede was famous not only for his rare learning, but still more so for the holiness of his life. The account of his death (A.D. 735), which took place on Ascension Eve, written by one of his pupils, is touching in its loving simplicity. Bede’s last words were “Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritni Sancto.”
