We often say that someone "has the patience of a saint," but what does that mean?
In the life of St. Kevin, we find one example.

"One day, on the first day of Lent in a small hut in the wilderness, Saint Kevin was kneeling with his arms outstretched in Prayer, a blackbird landed in his palm and built a nest. Saint Kevin remained perfectly still, to not disturb the bird, for the whole of Lent. During this time Saint Kevin was fed berries and nuts by the blackbird. By the end of Great Lent, the last blackbird hatchlings had flown from the nest, which now lay empty in his hand, and Saint Kevin returned to the Monastery for the Paschal celebration."

Another stop on our California pilgrimage was at the lovely and peaceful St. Xenia Skete in Wildwood.

There are just four nuns caring for this beautiful monastery. They showed us the most wonderful hospitality. They shared some of their publications with us and we are sending them some of ours!
