Looking Back: Saint Adrian of Canterbury

Today, January 9, is also the feast of Saint Adrian of Canterbury, Archbishop of Canterbury, scholar, teacher, and great mind of his time.  Saint Adrian expanded the teachings of the Church beyond theology, incorporating sciences-- a tradition that continues today.  To revist the post on Saint Adrian from 2010, click on the "rearview mirror" to the left.

 On this, his feast, we pray for the intercession of Saint Adrian!

O Holy Spirit, Saint Adrian was a highly successful missionary in pagan England, and a great teacher of Bible study. I ask for his same gift of explaining the Faith and understanding the teachings of the Church and the Sacred Scriptures. Anoint me with Your Truth, so that I may be protected from errors and deceptions. Help me to lovingly educate others in how to grow in holiness through what You have revealed in the Bible and the Sacred Traditions of Christianity. Keep me from becoming prideful in my knowledge, and remind me that my most important teaching tool is how I live my life. Saint Adrian, pray for me. Amen.
