St Mel
Saint Mel was a 5th Century saint in Ireland who was a nephew of St Patrick. Mel and his brothers accompanied their uncle Patrick to Ireland and helped him with his missionary work there. He and his brother were both consecrated by Patrick himself. Mel became Bishop of Ardagh but spent most of his life as a travelling missionary and evangelist. He supported himself by working with his hands and what he gained beyond bare necessities he gave to the poor.
We pray that like St Mel, we may live simply and give generously to those in need in order to claim our eternal reward in heaven.
