Today I am choosing to reflect on the life of the saint whose memorial we celebrate tomorrow. This saint is Saint Bede the Venerable. He lived in the end of the seventh century into the beginning of the eighth century. Bede was a monk who copied books and even authored his own commentaries on Sacred Scripture. He is the patron of scholars. (Franciscan Media)
I really don’t know much about Saint Bede beyond that. Reading the bit about his life that I did to write that opening paragraph, he sounds like he lived a pretty amazing life. As a patron of scholars, I feel like I owe him a big THANK YOU for surviving my graduate school courses.
Yes, you read that right, I am done with my graduate school courses. I just have to pass my comprehensive exam at the end of the summer and then I will be issued my diploma in December. That comprehensive exam though, I will definitely need Saint Bede and Saint Thomas Aquinas to help me out with that.
I am working on a post about what has been up in my life since I last posted a year ago. Keep an eye out for that as I am hoping to have that ready by the end of the month.
How has your year been going so far?
