Nov 18 Thomas of Antioch d. 782

Thommy and John

good morning
i love you

"St. Thomas of Antioch
Hermit. Thomas spent most of his life as a hermit in the area near Antioch (modern Syria). According to tradition, he is a special saint for relief against pestilence. "

I couldn’t find anything more than what Catholic online wrote. We have an eighth century namesake, who was a hermit to such a degree that for his own person and the impact of the people of his time and place was recognized for his saintliness. And, for relief against pestilence? Keeping pests away or protecting us from pests – a brief prayer to Thomas of Antioch when we are pestered will probably help us see Jesus in the bother….

I love you
