Legend has him an Irishman noted for his military feats who was convinced by his sister St. Fanchea to renounce his warring activities and marry. When he found his fiancee dead, he decided to become a monk and went on pilgrimage to Rome, where he was ordained. He returned to Ireland, built churches at Drogheda, and then secured from his brother-in-law King Oengus of Munster the island of Aran, where he built the monastery of Killeaney, from which ten other foundations on the island developed. With St. Finnian of Clonard, Enda is considered the founder on monasticism in Ireland. His feast day is March 21.

There are moments in life (and especially during Lent) that we must pray for fractional, dyadic patience when dealing with difficult people and especailly bothersome family members. Dear Lord, please allow me the Power of Two when dealing with the women I work....especially give me dyadic patience when dealing with realitive also.

Please God, give me patience with life in general. Amen.

Had never heard of Saint Enda till today, in reading Catholic Saints on line. What a strong and disciplined Man He was and I will ask for his intercession in acquiring just a fraction of the Spiritual Disciplines He would have practiced, especially in Lent.

St. Enda, your name is all the more meaningful to me because I have come to know and love someone dear who bears your name. Needless to say she is Irish, who arrived on the shores of Malaysia more than 60 years ago to establish a convent school and to encourage girls to attend school. Today, the school that she founded is one of the leading schools in the country, with a student population of 2500 students, only in the secondary level. Not to mention, it has been the breeding ground for many outstanding women leaders in places of prominence. What grace you have given her. Now in her early 80s grant her many more good years of health and service to Catholic Education. I pray for your loving protection of all missionary schools. Protect them from the onslaught of interference from local authorities for political and religious reasons. St. Enda pray for us. Amen.

I love these little stories. But they should be just a bit longer.
The articles leave you wanting more.

But thanks anyway for putting them up.
They are great and inspiring.
