July 3 Germanus of the Isle of Man d. 474

John and Thommy

good morning
i love you

not likely an irishman by birth - but an irish saint nonetheless

Germanus, we believe is a nephew of St Patrick -
lineage matters, yes?

He too was a missionary to ireland - a missionary monk.
He went on to Wales and Brittany and ultimately the
bishop of the isle of man

i suggest that you take a walk in his shoes -
if not personally, via a map....
no easy travel - and in the 5th c. contemporaty with Patrick, he was bringing a new God to the Celts...

wherever you go, bring with you the spirit of Patrick and Germanus....

i love you
dad
