Saint of the Day – 27 October – Saint Abraham the Poor (Died c372) Hermit. Born in Menuf, Egypt and died in
c372 of natural causes. Also known as – Abraham the Child, Abraham the Simple, Abraham the Hermit.
Born in the Town of Menuf in Egypt, Abraham became a disciple of Pachomius (Died c348), who founded Monastic community, in the delta region of the Nile River.
There Abraham remained a disciple of Pachomius for 23 years until the death of his Master, after which he spent the following years of his life as a Hermit, dwelling alone in a cave.
His nicknames ‘the poor’ ‘the simple’ and ‘the child’ refer to his trusting and simple life and his childlike faith. “Amen I say to you, unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself, as this little child, he is the greater in the Kingdom of Heaven. ” (Matthew 18:3-4. His Feast Day is celebrated on 27 October.

Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.

This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
