For God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. – Saint John the Apostle

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Cædmon


Saint Cædmon Memorial


Let us now praise the Guardian of the Kingdom of Heaven and the might of the Creator, and the thought of His Mind, glorious Father of men; for He, Lord Eternal, did frame the beginning of every marvelous thing. He first made the heavens as a roof for the children of men, God, the Creator! Then the mid-earth did the eternal Lord, the Guardian of men, therewith provide, and earth for men, the Lord God Almighty!

Saint Cædmon



Trivia note: Saint Cædmon is one of the first known poets of vernacular English.

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Paul Miki


Saint Paul Miki


The only reason for my being killed is that I have taught the doctrine of Christ. I thank God it is for this reason that I die. I believe that I am telling the truth before I die. I know you believe me and I want to say to you all once again: ask Christ to help you become happy. I obey Christ. After Christ's example, I forgive my persecutors. I do not hate them. I ask God to have pity on all, and I hope my blood will fall on my fellow men as a fruitful rain.


Saint Paul Miki
