Today we remember Alcuin, deacon, scholar and Abbot of Tours, born about 730, died 804, who “was chiefly responsible for the preservation of the classical heritage of western civilization.“

                                                       Psalm 16: 19

   

   You 

   will

   show 

   me 

   the 

   path 

   of life; 

   in your presence  

   there is fullness of joy, & in your

   right hand pleasures for evermore.

Illumine our minds, we pray, that amid the uncertainties & confusions of our own time we may show for your eternal truth
