Kevin of Glendalough: a Celtic Saint for June

Kevin of Glendalough: a Celtic Saint for June On June 3rd, the Church remembers the Celtic Saint Kevin. Kevin lived in Cornwall; there he gathered a small band of followers and eventually established a monastery. One much-loved story tells of a blackbird building a nest in Kevin's outstretched praying hands. Apparently, Kevin kept perfectly still until the blackbird eggs hatched! That story may or may not be true, but it does point to the depth of Kevin's spirituality.

Through the Morning Spirit meetings for spiritual connection each weekday morning, through the Mindfulness Meditation course we offered earlier this year, through the new monthly Sunday evening meditation hour, we are learning the importance of stillness and silence in our own spiritual journeys.

'Be still and know that I am God,' writes the Psalmist (46.10). and his words are just as true today as always. Even if you can't join us at the activities listed above, try to make time and space in your life for intimacy with God.
