Happy Saint George's Day!

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint George, which is significant for many reasons, not least because he is the patron saint of my country. Happy birthday England? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

However, it's important when we turn to him as an inspiration and patron, that we aspire to the values he really represents. St. George has often been co-opted as a military figure, but it's worth remembering that he was put to death by the Roman army for criticising the cruelty of the emperor and for refusing to give up his faith and beliefs. He gave all his money to the poor before being sent to be tortured.

Even the legend of St. George and the dragon was not about seeing violence in itself as virtuous, but rather about fighting to save a town suffering drought and a woman facing violence, fighting for the health and freedom of others.

Saint George was indeed a soldier, but he was a soldier of Christ. Let us honour him for his devotion to the way of Christ and pray for a little of that great courage in our own lives.

A prayer for Saint George (taken from bookofheaven.dom)

St. George, Heroic Catholic soldier and defender of your Faith, you dared to criticize a tyrannical Emperor and were subjected to horrible torture.

You could have occupied a high military position but you preferred to die for your Lord.

Obtain for us the great grace of heroic Christian courage that should mark soldiers of Christ.

Amen.

May you have the strength required to slay any great dragon in your life, be it mental illness, sickness, or any other hardships.

Reminder also for the UK people, that today at 3pm will be a test of the UK alert system. If you see any winged beasts breathing fire at that time, it's just Terendelev, no need to panic. 🐉

St George & Merry England!

This country may have a more complicated past than some may like to think, but let us never forget that which made our country great. Let us build upon it, learning from the successes as well as the mistakes and failures; let us make England great again and put the "Great" back into "Great Britain!"

Work is underway rebranding my website as part of my developing photography & photojournalism business, with the aim of having my "Michael's Mission" blog/podcast launch on Pentecost Sunday 19th May. Together we can restore England to her true greatness and help other nations revive theirs too!

Happy St George's Day everyone!

Happy St George's Day to all racists, nationalists, and Christian extremists who love to take an amazing story and twist it into an excuse for bigotry.

It was George's name day yesterday, and because St George's day cannot be observed without the mention of a dragon, I write a little 'love' story between some princess and a 'saint' called Jorge (Portuguese pronunciation, because he's a patron saint there, not just the original country that bred the most widespread international language).
