St. Brendan of Birr

"If you become Christ's you will stumble upon wonder upon wonder and every one of them true."
- St. Brendan of Birr (d. 573)

Today is the feast day of St. Brendan of Birr. Brendan was born in Ireland in the late 5th century or early 6th century. He became a monk in Clonard, Ireland, and also became the abbot of Birr, Ireland, later on. He advised St. Columba and was friends with St. Brendan the Voyager. After Brendan's death in 573, St. Columba had a vision in which she saw angels carrying Brendan's soul to Heaven. 

St. Brendan of Birr, pray for us!
