Cuthbert means 'brilliant light'.One night in August, 651, the shepherd boy Cuthbert was praying a hillside near Melrose monastery which lies at the heart of the Scottish Borders. He saw "a great light and a choir of angels” descend from the night sky. The next day he learned that St. Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, had died the previous night. Cuthbert believed he had witnessed St. Aidan's soul being carried to Heaven and took this as a sign of his calling to missionary work.
“But you are God's chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things that he has done.” 1 Peter 2:9
Reflection….
Have you ever considered you have been chosen?
What special thing might you be “chosen” to do?
