Irish monastic founder, the brother of Sts. Foillan and Ulan, praised by St. Bede. Fursey was born on the island of Inisguia en Lough Carri, Ire�land, as a noble. He founded Rathmat Abbey, now probably Killursa. In 630 Fursey and his friends went to East Anglia, England, where he founded a monastery near Ugremouth on land donated by King Sigebert. In his later years, Fursey went to France to build a monastery at Lagny, near Paris, France. He was buried in Picardy. St. Bede and others wrote about Fursey�s intense ecstasies.

I praise, thank, adore and glorify God. I offer my day to you, together with all my foibles and failings, my imaginings and obsessions. Grant me dear St. Fursey, your intercession on your feast day, that I may diligently go through my tasks, in honesty and fairness. Help me to devote myself to the ministries I have been called to. I see now, that what I've prayed for last year have come to a happy conclusion. May my beloved Mother enjoy eternal rest, peace and joy in the kingdom of Heaven. Give her a sweet smile today. Amen.

Yes, it's astounding that three siblings have become saints. God has indeed chosen you. St Fursey, I thank you for the communication that I had been eagerly awaiting. Please support me with your prayers and heavenly intercessions, for I am easily disturbed and imagine the worse case scenario in any situation. Your intercessions must help me to resolve a communications issue. Also, pray for good nursing care for my aged mother. We are trying our best too. Amen
