We are grateful for his presence and we pray for his ministry. At the end of Mass, he asked if anyone knew when St. Edward died. I did chime in but hey, I should know as I am the pastor here. After Mass, many people had different ideas on the date. I thought we should get a refresher on our patron saint, St. Edward (or to be more specific, St. Edward the Confessor). Just as we sometimes overlook his statue that has been with us for 62 years as a gift from former pastor Fr. Vincent Jones, we can also overlook St. Edward s important role in history and his guidance for us today. Edward was born in 1003 at Islip, Oxfordshire, England, to the Saxon king, Ethelred III, and his Norman queen, Emma. Life in England during this period was plagued by war, invasion and a grueling existence typical of medieval Europe. The future of European thrones was uncertain and they were often awarded to the strongest military leader. Edward defied these characteristics of his time. At the age of ten, Edward and his older brother, Alfred, were sent to live in Normandy with their uncle after a successful Danish invasion, which resulted in the conquest of England and the marriage of their widowed mother to the victorious Canute, leader of the Danish invaders. Edward spent half of his life in Normandy, and subsequently adopted many Norman traditions and forged lasting bonds with the Norman elite. It was said of Edward, that during his time in Normandy, he abandoned his ambitions of ascending to the throne of England and instead, preferred to spend his time assisting at Mass and in association with religious. This created a lasting piety and devotion to the Church; Edward even took a perpetual vow of chastity, which he maintained throughout his life. In 1042, the death of the last Danish king, Hardicanute, reopened Edward's chance to become king of England. With the support of the powerful Earl Godwin, Edward was popularly acclaimed king and asked to return to claim his father's throne. Edward married Godwin's daughter, Edith, on the condition that she honor his vow and that they would have no children. Edward's role as king through divine right made him a special emissary of God and protector of the Church. Edward's rule was one of peace in a time of war. He was said to be a just ruler and a peacemaker. Edward repealed burdensome taxes on his people. He instead used funds raised from his own estates. Edward gave away large sums of money to the poor and for religious purposes, especially the founding of churches and abbeys. The most famous of these is Westminster Abbey, which was dedicated just a week before his death in It was thanks to the monks of this abbey that their patron would become an official saint of the Catholic Church. Edward was said to have the gift of prophesy. There were several instances where he predicted the outcome of battles or royal conflicts. The most prominent is his vision of Svein junior, king of Denmark, drowning when embarking to invade and conquer England. It was also said that Edward, along with Earl Leofric of Mercia, saw Christ in person while attending Mass at Westminster. Edward's list of miracles also includes several other colorful accounts. The most well known miracle is the story of the ring that Edward gave to St. John the Evangelist. In the account, while dedicating a church to St. John, Edward gives a ring to a beggar who in fact, is St. John in disguise. Eventually, the ring was returned to Edward by pilgrims who were lost on the way to Jerusalem and guided back to safety by St. John. Edward is called Confessor, the name for someone believed to have lived a saintly life but who was not a martyr. He was canonized in 1161 by Pope Alexander III. Saint Edward was one of the national saints of England until King Edward III adopted Saint George as patron saint in about St. Edward, pray for us. Treu in Christus, faithfully in Christ, Fr. Rod
