1 Thessalonians 2:2-12
As saints go David is a minor saint. I hope that most people in Britain know that he is the patron saint of Wales. For those of us raised in Wales he is our saint. But for me he is my saint, I come from a town between the place where he was born and the one where he died.
I imagine that the life-story of St David does not figure in the curriculum of many students. Coming from Pembrokeshire we learnt of his fairness and caring nature; how he encouraged and guided the monks in his care. St David was a good guy. I am glad that I was taught about him and want to follow his example of humility and strength.
