REFLECTION – “This man of suave eloquence and eminent talent shone as brightly by his virtues as by his doctrine. By his faith and zeal the Gothic people have been converted from Arianism to the Catholic faith”…St Isidore of Seville speaking of his brother St Leander, whom we celebrate today.this-man-st-isidore-of-seville-13 march 2017

PRAYER – Help me to discern through prayer and meditation what You truly want of me. Then enable me to offer it to You – and indeed to offer myself and all I have to You.   St Leander, you were and are an example to all of total and complete commitment to the Glory of the Kingdom and the One, True Faith.   Grant Holy Father, that by the prayers of St Leander we may too be filled with zeal and love, amen!st-leander-pray-for-us-2- 13 march 2017
