Sant'Aredio di Limoges, ora pro nobis |
In celebration, we’re posting a prayer to St. Aredius. The accompanying photo of the walnut and jewel-inlaid silver and gold reliquary busts of St. Yrieix was taken at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.* Evviva Sant’Aredio di Limoges!
Prayer to St. Aredius* Regrettably, the town of Saint-Yrieix-La-Perche, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, claims the reliquaries were illegally purchased by the museum in 1906 and has requested that they be returned.
God our Father, enable us who honor the memory of St. Aredius, to share with him in the joy of eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
