Gospel Verse, Ps 25:4b, 5a:Teach me your paths, my God, and guide me in your truth.Today the Roman Martyrology commemorates St. Médard, Bishop of Noyon, France. Legend says that once when he was a child a sudden shower fell, soaking everyone except St. Médard who remained perfectly dry, because an eagle had spread its wings over him. Ever since, Médard was known as “master of rain” or his patronage against bad weather and who to invoke for good weather. In religious art, an eagle shelters Médard from the rain.
