ΣΕΝΤ (Σέντ, Σεντ)


ΑΓΙΟΣ ΣΕΝΤ, επίσκοπος Σκωτίας

Ο Αγιος Σέντ καταγόταν από ευσεβή οικογένεια. Μαζί με τα άλλα τρία αδέλφια του ακολούθησαν τον μοναχικό βίο και εγιναν μοναχοί. Σπούδασε στη μονή του Λίντισφαρν, που διηύθυνε ο Αγιος Αϊδανός. Μετά το περας των σπουδών κλήθηκε υπό του βασιλέως Πεάντα της Μέρσια, για να κηρύξει το Ευαγγέλιο στο βασίλειό του.

Εργάσθηκε ιεραποστολικά και στο βασίλειο της ανατολικης Σαξωνίας. Ο Αγιος εβάπτισε χιλιάδες ειδωλολάτρες, ίδρυσε ναούς και μοναστήρια. Αργότερα εξελέγη Επίσκοπος και χειροτονήθηκε από τον Αγιο Φιννιανό. Επίσκοπος εξελέγη και ο αδελφός του Τσάντ.

Ο Αγιος Σέντ διακρινόταν για την παρρησία, την πνευματική του ανδρεία και την αυστηρότητα του ασκητικου του βίου. Εκοιμήθηκε, κατά το έτος 664 μ.Χ., όταν επιδημία της πανώλης εθέρισε τον πληθυσμό.

SAINT CEDD

Saint Cedd belonged to a family of brothers, and all six of them were chosen by King Oswald of Northumbria to be trained by St. Aidan to be monks and missionaries. This was in 635, when Aidan came from the monastery of Iona in Scotland to become bishop of King Oswald's kingdom. One of St. Cedd's brothers was St. Chad, who was the first bishop of York and then bishop of Lichfield.

In 653, Peada, king of the Middle Angles, asked Aidan's successor at Lindisfarne for a bishop for his diocese, and St. Finan chose four monks from Lindisfarne to evangelize Peada's people. Later, the king of the East Saxons, whose chief city was London, also asked for a bishop, and Finan called Cedd to Lindisfarne and consecrated him bishop of London.

Cedd founded three monasteries of his own, the best known being Lastingham, where he died of the plague in 664. St. Bede has a beautiful story of Cedd's founding of Lastingham: Cedd spent forty days in prayer and fasting in a remote spot given to him by King Ethelwald.

In 664, Cedd was present at the Synod of Whitby and was a member of the Irish party, those wishing to retain the Irish date for Easter. But when the synod decided in favor of the Roman date, Cedd accepted the decision, not wanting to cause any further disunity in the English churches.

After the Synod of Whitby, a plague struck England, and Cedd was among those who died from the plague. At the news of his death, thirty monks came from London to spend their lives where their founder had died. But they, too, caught the plague and were buried near the little chapel that had been erected in Cedd's memory.

Cedd was the second bishop of the city of London; the first was Mellitus, who came with St. Augustine and later became archbishop of Canterbury. Mellitus was driven from the see by the king of the East Saxons in 616, and London was without a bishop until Cedd's arrival about 654.

Thought for the Day: St. Cedd was trained by a saint and he himself trained others to holiness. A good teacher teaches mostly by what he is; and, if he is a good teacher, the things that are important to him become important to those he teaches. Good teachers fashion the souls of others by contact with their own soul.

From 'The Catholic One Year Bible': . . . I have been sent to bring faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know God's truth—the kind of truth that changes lives—so that they can have eternal life, which God promised them before the world began....—Titus 1 :1-2
