Usually  we celebrate the Feast Day of St David  on  March 1st.  This year it coincided with the 2nd Sunday of Lent. So the Feast was transferred to the 2nd day of March.

The Message of Dewi Sant  (St David) 

Amidst a broken world, St. David calls us to "Be joyful, keep the faith, and do the little things". These final words, spoken to his followers before his death in 589, remind us that true faith is not always found in grand gestures, but in consistent, daily acts of love and dedication.

David is the only Patron Saint in the UK  that was born, lived and died in the country that he is Patron Saint of. We may not reach the strict discipline levels of  David ( who only drank water), but we are called to bring God's light into our communities through small, intentional kindnesses. This can mean helping a neighbour, offering gentle words, or working with humility in our daily tasks.

As we celebrate Welsh culture and heritage, let us reflect on our own "little things"—acts of service that foster community and demonstrate faith. In doing so, we live out the legacy of a saint who showed that kindness can indeed reshape our world. 

There are so many places in deep conflict in our world. Let us pray that St David will intercede on our behalf that those in authority will try to seek the ways of peace and reconciliation.
