See his life in yesterday's Lives http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celt-saints/message/1785 Troparion of St Ruman Tone 5 Thou didst dazzle us with a jewel, a treasure,/ a pearl of great price, O righteous Father Ruman,/ in the God-pleasing life and asceticism of the desert./ Thy selfless devotion, love of animals/ and patience in the face of calumny are our guiding lights./ Wherefore, O Saint, pray that the unprofitable servants who hymn thee/ be granted great mercy. Kontakion of St Ruman Tone 5 Today we keep festival in thy honour, holy Ruman,/ for caring nothing for thyself/ thou didst face danger, false accusation and misdirected piety/ for the love of Him Who is the Creator of all things. ******************************** Suppliers of Icons of Celtic Saints for the church or the prayer corner at home. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celt-saints/message/2875 ********************************* Lives kindly supplied by: For All the Saints: http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/ss-index.htm An Alphabetical Index of the Saints of the West http://www.orthodoxengland.btinternet.co.uk/saintsa.htm These Lives are archived at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celt-saints ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Yahoo!
