On this day in 690

Exactly 1324 years ago Benedict Biscop died. Let's all pray in silence for a moment to remember this remarkable man.

 

Okie

 

Thanks. I knew you would be one of the few to mourn his death.

 

Ok, but hasn't he had 1324 years of silence already?

When are you starting the moment of silence?

 

He had a long silence on a personal level, but you can be silent for Benedict too. I am not starting a moment of silence, it will be an individual silence, ranging from 1 minute to half an hour or more.

 

I've been silent about him far too long.

 

Well it is a lovely, admirable idea that you have

 

Then speak your mind and tell us your favorite Benedict anecdotes.

 

Wouldn't it be awesome if in 1324 years from now, someone would dedicate a moment of silence to you?

 

It would be awesome, but it's highly unlikely.

 

That it is, but it's certainly not impossible as just has been proved now.

 

The only thing that comes to mind is his second trip to Rome when he left his wallet at home and did not realize it until he was in the checkout line buying groceries.

 

Ah yes, we all had a good laugh about that one.

 

That's the new decades view of a born again christian for the certainty that Belief about God is suddenly productive.:2thumbsup:

 

I can see where that could look like the analogy that you have in mind, but I don't want to mislead you on my intentions. That's not the meaning that I was trying to get across. Sorry about that and no offense intended.

 

perhaps his life and death would mean something if someone were to mention precisely what was supposed to have been remarkable about him.

many remarkable people have been born, lived, and died, every day of every year there have been humans living on earth.

many of them within an easy walk of each place where each of us are sitting right now.

 

Remeber that time when he went to Ireland and discovered they already had irish catholics there?
