He founded around 10 monasteries and was known for his simple way of life and asceticism; he taught his followers to refrain from eating meat and drinking anything but water. The miracle most commonly associated with St David is said to have taken place whilst he was preaching to a large crowd at the Synod of Brefi. It is said that the ground on which he was stood rose up to form a small hill, in order for everyone to see him. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Prayer: God, on this day, we remember Saint David, your servant. Grant that we may learn from him and respond to the words that are thought to be his last: ‘Be steadfast, and do the little things’. Amen. Reflection: "Brothers and sisters, be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed, and do the little things that you have seen me do and heard about."

    DIOCESAN COLLECTIVE WORSHIP FRAMEWORK TERM 5/YEAR 1 /SAINTS The famous saints whom we know something about have responded to God in a particular way at a particular time in history. However, we are all called to be saints – holy people – those whom the light and life of Jesus can shine through. We can all respond to the life and example of Jesus in our particular way in our particular time. This is a week spent looking at the patron saints of England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. The focus should be on the importance of speaking out for what is right even if it might mean that scorn and suffering might follow. It is important to convey that saints are admired and followed for their strength of character and virtues – not because they are rich or famous or good at a particular sport or as an actor – it is a good opportunity to think about what really matters in a person who should be looked up to.
