Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus! Happy St David's Day!

Of your charity, pray for the repose of the soul of Michael Davies who once received a letter from Saunders Lewis stating, Welsh is the language of my people, but Latin is the language of my Church. When all was sung, said and done at the funeral of Mr Davies, they sung the Welsh national anthem. The funeral of Mr Lewis was the nearest they ever got to a state funeral in Wales according to one who was there.



A Prayer for Wales
O Almighty God,
Who in Thine infinite goodness
has sent Thine only-begotten Son into this world
to open once more the gates of heaven,
and to teach us how to know, love and serve Thee,
have mercy on Thy people Who dwell in Wales.
Grant to them the precious gift of faith,
and unite them in the one true Church
founded by Thy Divine Son; that,
acknowledging her authority and obeying her voice,
they may serve Thee, love Thee, and worship Thee
as Thou desirest in this world,
and obtain for themselves everlasting happiness
in the world to come.
Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

Our Lady, Help of Christians,
