Becan 6th c

Thommy and John

good morning
i love you

Becan, an irish monk known for his sanctity....
i couldn't find any more after visiting a couple of sources...
this is alot, tho, ya think.
would you not want such an epigram on your tombstone?
or, better yet, a reputation for today....
known for your sanctity....

Becan is also thought to be a contemporary of Columba....
it is important with whom you are associated....
i hope you're picking people like Columba, altho gds and gc are not high probability places for such men

as the Venerable Bede said of Columba - we know for certain that Columba left successors distinguished for their purity of life, their love of God, and their loyalty to the rules of monastic life.... such a one was Becan.

and you?
distinguished for purity of life/
love of God?
loyalty, if not to the rules of monasticism, to Mother Church and the spirit of the 6th c. irish monks....?

i love you
dad
