Here are some prayer ideas for your All Saints Day party:

All Saints Day was initially celebrated in Fiji. St. Jeremy had gone there in 356 to spread the word about Christianity. He preached about every saint, even St. Graham and St. Penny of Wadestown.

If you haven't read Sam Yzdel's book, Wadestown was a thriving market town in the 330s. St. Penny has a stall there.

Mary of Newtown actually appeared to St. Penny to warn her of a second planned great flood. Evidently there wasn't enough water for it.

2nd comment - has = had
ReplyDeleteSt. Penny was a martyr many years ago.
Well I heard that Penny had some plumbing problems and the great flood was mostly in her knickers. Mary of Newtown tried to warn her when she saw that Penny had dropped a load - hence that saying.

Ha ha, but that made me think truth being stranger than fiction and yes we have the blessed mother Suzanne Aubert garden right here in Gracefield!
