From St. Bede the Venerable,
A Prayer Concerning
The Risen Christ

In the early Middle Ages, it was not unusual for a cleric to minister for an entire lifetime behind the walls of a European monastery. From such a vantage point, St. Bede the Venerable engaged the religious debates of the day but also translated the Scriptures. He was the only Englishman to gain mention in Dante’s Paradise, and remains the sole English Doctor of the Church, one of the most revered religious minds of the medieval era. As the following prayer attests, his was a life of faithful devotion.

I implore you, good Jesus,
That as in Your mercy
You have given me to drink,
With delight,
The words of Your knowledge,

So, of Your loving kindness,
You will also grant me
One day to come to You,


The fountain of all wisdom,
And to stand before Your face.
Amen and Amen.

St. Bede the Venerable
Doctor of the Church
(673 - 735)
