Holy
Chad,
well you learned
The
Apostles’ ways
From
Aidan Saint.
A
life of quiet you sought,
But
spread the Gospel tidings
At
Theodore’s behest.
Your
bare feet hallowed
Middle
England
as you walked
From
town to town to teach.
Lightning
and thunder,
Wind
and rain to you were
Words
of God to heed.
Angelic
hosts your final days
On
earth announced. And with St Cedd
They
welcomed you to Heaven.
Blessed
Bishop, wealth of virtues,
Your
relics heal the sick.
Help
us who cry now to you with faith:
Holy
Chad of Lichfield,
Deliver
from the Foe all Dixie-folk,
O
man dear to God, by your prayers!
St
Chad,
who went to his rest in the Lord on 2 March 672 A.D. Ikon from http://www.pravoslavie.ru/english/101836.htm,
21 March 2017.

Holy
Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the
Souð!
Anathema
to the Union!
