On Bearing with the Faults of Others (III)<\/div>\n
+<\/span><\/div>\n
We wish to see others severely reprimanded; yet we are unwilling to be<\/div>\n
corrected ourselves. We wish to restrict the liberty of others, but<\/div>\n
are not willing to be denied anything ourselves. We wish others to be<\/div>\n
bound by rules, yet we will not let ourselves be bound. It is amply<\/div>\n
evident, therefore, that we seldom consider our neighbor in the same<\/div>\n
light as ourselves. Yet, if all men were perfect, what should we have<\/div>\n
to bear with in others for Christ’s sake?<\/div>\n

October 8th – St. Keyne<\/div>\n
+<\/span><\/div>\n
(c. 461- 505)<\/div>\n
(Welsh-Cain, Latin-Caginus, English-Keyne)<\/div>\n
+<\/span><\/div>\n
Properly called Cain, though commonly known as St. Keyne, this saintly<\/div>\n
lady had a number of popular epithets: St. Cain Wyry (the Virgin),<\/div>\n
Cain Breit (the Bright) or Ceinwen (the Fair). She was the daughter of<\/div>\n
Brychan Brycheiniog, King of Brycheiniog in South Wales, a man of many<\/div>\n
saintly children: by some accounts, 24 daughters besides sons. Keyne<\/div>\n
was his most distinguished child. Many noble lords sought her hand in<\/div>\n
marriage but, wishing to remain a virgin, she crossed the Severn to<\/div>\n
find a wooded solitary abode. She travelled via Kentchurch, in<\/div>\n
Herefordshire, and settled in a place where now stands the town of<\/div>\n
Keynsham on the Avon in Somerset. It is said, however, that she was<\/div>\n
warned by the local King that the area was swarming with serpents and<\/div>\n
neither man nor beast could inhabit it. St. Keyne, addressing herself<\/div>\n
to her heavenly spouse, obtained of him by the fervour of her prayer,<\/div>\n
that all this poisonous brood should be changed into stones perfectly<\/div>\n
resembling the winding of serpents. Today, these are considered to be<\/div>\n
the fossilized remains of ammonites. A similar miracle is sometimes<\/div>\n
recorded of St. Hilda.<\/div>\n
+<\/span><\/div>\n
After living an austere and saintly life in Keynsham for some years,<\/div>\n
St. Keyne made a pilgrimage to Dinsol which is traditionally said to<\/div>\n
be St. Michael’s Mount, but was probably St. Keyne, near St. Neots.<\/div>\n
She gave to the Cornish people here, a well which has the wonderful<\/div>\n
property of conferring the chief domestic authority on husband or<\/div>\n
wife, whichever first, after marriage, drinks of its waters. The<\/div>\n
parish of Kenwyn near Truro is probably named after her. Keyne’s<\/div>\n
nephew, St. Cadog, son of her sister, Gwladys, was surprised to find<\/div>\n
her at Dinsol and tried to persuade her to return home with him. The<\/div>\n
locals were opposed to this, but she did eventually follow him some<\/div>\n
years later. Keyne made herself a small habitation at the foot of a<\/div>\n
mountain in her native country, almost certainly at Llangeinor in<\/div>\n
Glamorgan though possibly at Llangenny in Powys. She obtained, by her<\/div>\n
prayers, a spring of water which was helpful in divers infirmities and<\/div>\n
it remains at the former still. Here she stayed for many years and<\/div>\n
finally died on 8th October 505, a gracious smile and a beautiful rosy<\/div>\n
colour appearing on her face. She was buried there by St. Cadog.<\/div>\n

Saint Quote:<\/div>\n
“On the Lord’s Day all worldly labor should cease and Christians<\/div>\n
should give themselves up to prayer, so as to expiate by their prayers<\/div>\n
on that day the faults committed during the week.”<\/div>\n

O Lord, Show Thy Mercy to Me<\/div>\n
By St Jerome (347-419)<\/div>\n
Confessor, Father and Doctor of the Church<\/div>\n
+<\/span><\/div>\n
O Lord, show Thy mercy to me<\/div>\n
and gladden my heart.<\/div>\n
I am like the man<\/div>\n
on the way to Jericho,<\/div>\n
who was overtaken by robbers,<\/div>\n
wounded and left for dead.<\/div>\n
O Good Samaritan,<\/div>\n
come to my aid.<\/div>\n
I am like the sheep which went astray.<\/div>\n
O Good Shepherd,<\/div>\n
seek me out and bring me home,<\/div>\n
in accord with Thy will.<\/div>\n
Let me dwell in Thy house<\/div>\n
all the days of my life<\/div>\n
and praise Thee,<\/div>\n
forever and ever<\/div>\n
with those who are there.<\/div>\n
Amen.<\/div>\n
