He now goes about doing good, working the signs that make him known as the Servant of God. He is the one who brings good news to the poor and tells of salvation. Through our baptism each one of us is ordered to the life of Christ- Priest, Prophet and King – and the Father looks on us with favour. Tuesday 13 January St Hilary of Poitiers - Bishop of Poitiers and distinguished himself by his stand against Arianism. In exile by order of the Emperor Constantius, he used his time to write, including De Trinitate, a study of the Trinity. Thursday 15 January St Ita- born in Co Waterford to noble and Christian parents. Early on she set her mind on serving Christ in religious life. She founded a monastery in Killeedy, Co Limerick, which attracted a great variety of young people. She was given the title ‘foster-mother of the saints of Ireland’. She died in 570. Friday 16 January St Fursa - born in Ireland and became one of the great monastic missionaries abroad. He went first with his brothers to live a monastic life in East Anglia. As great numbers continued to visit him there he left Foillan as abbot and sought refuge in France. He died in 650 and is buried in Peronne, which became a great centre of devotion to him. Lord, make me a better person: more considerate towards others, more honest with myself, more faithful to you. Help me to find my true vocation in life and grant that through it I may find happiness myself and bring happiness to others. Grant, Lord, that those whom you call to enter the priesthood or religious life may have the generosity to answer your call, so that those who need your help may always find it.
