Benedictine abbot also called Grimwald, invited to England by King Alfred in 885. Grimbald arrived in England and declined the see of Canterbury, preferring to remain a monk.

St. Grimald of Winchester, how blessed were you in your choice of lifestyle. You preferred a quite time with God to the limelight that high office would have offered you. In today's first reading taken from Hosea, we are reminded that God finds us in our quiet times of solitude, which the Desert Fathers chose and exemplified. Yes, the images of the desert, wild wind, rolling sand, tumbleweed and the utter desolation reminds us of the Creator of this majestic beauty. It also makes me think of how small and insignificant I am. But Hosea says, You lure us to the desert and remind us of you, and call us loving names. Dear Jesus, you are the hound of Heaven, help us to seek solitude where we can meet and converse. Amen,

Dear Saint Grimbald, please pray for Jacob that he finds the right path, for his parents that they find the strenght and wisdom to guide him and that the rift between my sister and I is healed. Thank you.
