SUMMARY:Sustainability Saint's Day
DESCRIPTION:St Medardus of Noyon (c 456 – 545) was a Frankish Bishop and is an intercessor against bad weather – and for rain when needed for good harvests and crops! He is also a Patron of vintners and brewers\, prisoners and captives and of people suffering mental ill health. \nRead more about him in Wikipedia \nSt Medardus is depicted on the coat of arms as Patron Saint of the German town of Ludenscheid\, which since 1950 has been twinned with Brighouse – so he’s practically a local! \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Safeguarding Saints' Day: St Maria Goretti
DESCRIPTION:Today is the Feast Day of St Maria Goretti. In 1902\, Maria was just 11 years old when she was killed whilst resisting a rapist. Maria’s horrific story of suffering from the last century highlights the continuing importance of today’s commitment to Safeguarding in the Catholic Church to combat all forms of abuse – not only of children\, but also of adults at risk. \nVisit our Safeguarding website for more information on all aspects of Safeguarding in the Diocese of Leeds – and how to get in touch\, in confidence\, with our Safeguarding team via safeguarding@dioceseofleeds.org.uk.  \nIn addition to St Maria Goretti\, there are many other ‘Safeguarding Saints’\, whose Feast Days are remembered in our Events Calendar. Some of them were themselves victims and survivors of various forms of abuse\, including human trafficking and domestic violence. Others are Saints to whom we can all pray to intercede for strength to bear suffering and for protection against the evils which undermine the sacred human dignity of God’s beloved children – especially the most vulnerable. \nSafeguarding is Everybody’s Business – so EVERYBODY is invited to share their thoughts with us about Safeguarding in the Diocese of Leeds\, in confidence\, using our website’s Safeguarding Feedback Form! \n \nSt Maria Goretti: pray for us!

SUMMARY:Safeguarding Saints' Day: St Benedict
DESCRIPTION:St Benedict of Nursia (480-547) is a Saint whose intercession is invoked for many reasons\, including to protect and comfort those suffering spiritual abuse – so he is one of our ‘Safeguarding Saints’. \nA short prayer to St Benedict for protection: \nThrough your intercession may we be delivered from temptation\, spiritual oppression\, physical ills\, and disease. Protect us from drug and alcohol abuse\, impurity and immorality\, objectionable companions\, and negative attitudes. Admirable Saint and Doctor of Humility\, you practiced what you taught\, assiduously praying for God’s glory and lovingly fulfilling all work for God and the benefit of all human beings. You know the many physical and spiritual dangers that surround us today\, often caused or occasioned by human inventions. Guard us against poisoning of the body as well as of mind and soul\, and thus be truly a ‘Blessed’ one for us.\nAmen. \nSpiritual abuse can happen in families or communities and in many ways: to find out more\, visit the Diocese of Leeds Safeguarding website and the website of the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) \nSafeguarding is Everybody’s Business – so EVERYBODY is invited to share their thoughts with us about Safeguarding in the Diocese of Leeds\, in confidence\, using our website’s Safeguarding Feedback Form! \n \nSt Benedict: pray for us.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Saint's Day
DESCRIPTION:St Benedict of Nursia (480 – 547) \nSt Benedict is perhaps one of our best saintly advocates of ‘Living Simply and Sustainably’. His ‘Rule’ continues to be the basis of monastic life today – and it has lessons for all Christians of our own time\, as St Benedict warns against consumerism and excessive attachment to possessions\, and advocates prioritising our spiritual life over worldly materialism\, so as to live and die in holiness. \nRead more about the ‘Rule of St Benedict’ which advocates a simple\, balanced life of prayer\, work\, study and rest!
