There is a Tomb bearing this name at Tamlacht near Londonderry in Ireland. Scholars believe there is the possibility that there were two Saints by this name (Benedictines).

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

We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
