O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom ... (Collect for Peace at Morning Prayer)

Stature of St Cuthebert at Lindesfarne
St Cuthbert was born around 625 and died on this day in 687. One day, shepherding his, he had a vision of a soul being taken up to heaven. Upon learning the next day that St Aidan of Lindesfarne had died the previous day, he entered religious life as a monk, becoming finally Bishop of Lindesfarne. When the Viking invasions began, the community moved his body to Durham where it is buried in he cathedral.
