Song of Solomon

"Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death..." Song of Solomon 8:6

Lord, set me as a seal upon your Sacred Heart. May my family, friends, co-workers all be found there - a seal upon Your holy and mighty arm. There is no good within me, a most wicked sinner. Only you can save me, only you can bring goodness from all the wretchedness in my mind, body and soul. Preserve me Lord, no...do not forsake me, though to be in the pit of hell is what I deserve. Remember not my multitudes of sins, but rather remember Your mercy and save me, for redeeming sinners gives You great glory. May your mercy shine in me. Let not my parched soul perish in this vale of tears. Amen+

St. Winifred

Also St. Gwenfrewy or Winefride, she was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, Tyfid ap Eiludd. Her suitor, Caradog, was enraged when she decided to become a nun, and decapitated her. Her head rolled downhill, and, where it stopped, a healing spring appeared. Winefride's head was subsequently rejoined to her body due to the efforts of her maternal uncle, Saint Beuno, and she was restored to life. She later became a nun and abbess at Gwytherin in Denbighshire, and Caradog, cursed by St. Beuno, melted into the ground. She died 660.
