July 3 Cillene of Iona d. 752
Thommy and John
good morning
i love you
Cilene of Iona - so many saints are new to me and there is so little in the bio blurb that i find in butlers or online...
Iona is a college to me. one that uncle walter went to. working full time, raising a family, and going to college.
[i suggest that you maximize your academic potential now - enjoy your student-dom (get the grades your talents promise, too) and then come on into the world of work and family raising....]
Cilene, an irishman who migrated to Iona - so many irish saints and saintlies, and plain ole good people attracted by the monestaries at Iona migrated there [an, immigrents, ya think?]....
Cilene became abbot in 726.... thus, 26 years in that servant role, in the same place, bringing those there closer to God and one another - - and building a place to which other pilgrims came....
i love you
dad
