January 13th: St.
Enogad (aka Enogat)
Enogad was a monk, later abbot at Saint-Meen, and Bishop
of Alet, the fourth or fifth
successor to (St.) Malo.
He restored the
abbey of Saint-Meen, incorporating with it the previously destroyed
Abbey
of Gael, and collaborated with Conwolon of Redon Abbey in
establishing new monastic
rules, including the election of the abbots
by members of the community.
Enogat is the patron of Dinard, formerly
Saint-Enogat, and then Dinard-Saint-Enogat.
The name Dinard derives
from the legend of King Arthur (Din = hill/fort; Ar/Arz =
bear/Arthur).
In Celtic mythology the bear symbolises sovereignty.
Our
Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy
Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give
us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses
as
we forgive those who trespass against us.
Do
not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For
the kingdom, the glory and the power are yours,
now
and for ever. Amen.
