Memorial of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne

The Collect

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who didst enkindle the flame of thy love in the heart of thy servant Cuthbert. Grant to us, thy humble servants, the same faith and power of love; that, as we rejoice in his triumph, we may profit by his example; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Cuthbert is a saint from the early Northumbrian church in the Celtic tradition. He served Christ's church as a monk, bishop and hermit, and was associated with the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne. After his death he became one of the most important medieval saints of Northern England.

Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of northern England.
