April 5 Becan 6th c

John and Thommy

good morning
i love you

Becan, one of the 12 apostles of ireland.
and you, how are yo urecognized for your contribution - to self, family, community, church, and country?
how will you be?
how do you want to be?
what are you doing to be recognized for your holy contributions?

Becan was a son of the royal house of Munster and a blood relative of Columba.
genes do matter. being connected to and involved with family is important -
separating from genes or family is a disservice to you, family; and it's dissing the Person who gave all that to you.

Becan is known to be one of the three greatest champions of virtue [along with Endeus and Mochua; also saints]
known for virtue. not a bad rep to have....

Becan, a leader of saints in an era of holy men....
it was a fruitful time for saints in ireland in the 5th 6th c.
your time has your own opportunities -
with whom you bond and bring your grace into the world does matter.

Becan's stories have him often working on his knees - probably true some/most of the time.
making all work prayer [and all prayer work] is part of the perpetual message of Becan and our Church.
Becan's ecstasies at prayer and work are renowned.

a brief bio blurb for one of The Twelve of Ireland....
maybe the stories extant aren't elaborate.
his impact is perpetually positive for each and all of us....

try him, you'll like him.

i love you
dad
