June 16th

Today we honour an English saint of the time of King Henry 111, Richard of Chichester. He was in fact a Worcestershire man, from near Droitwich. He is most famous for a beautiful prayer which was even used in the rock musical "Godspell".
                                              Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ
                                               for all the benefits thou hast given me.,                                                                                                     for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me.
                                               O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother
                                                may I know thee more clearly
                                                Love   thee more dearly
                                               Follow thee more nearly

                                               Happy feast day Fr Richard
