Sixth century Wales. An Irish Saint Tathan, son of Anna (daughter of Meurig) who has married Tathetus (Annan Ddu) in Ireland renounces the throne to travel on a Shite Martyrdom. He sets sail on a boat without oars and his boat arrives in the Severn and he disembarks at Portskewett to found one of the most glittering educational monasteries in Wales, There are miracles connected with him. The tale of the stag, mimicing that of Christ, guiving himself up for food. He is given the whole city of Caerwent. He trains Cadoc, Gwynlliw's son, who becomes one of the most famous Welsh saints.

I tell of my trip to Cornwall, to Tintagel and Boscastle and also to the Chapel of Fontrevault in the Normal Wall at Caerwent, from which there is a short soundseeing.A very British 'email' segment and a final partof a letter of St Ignatius of Antioch, one of the people trained in Rome in the early church of Peter and Paul. Please pray for Mary.

I sing the 'Our Father' at the end of this programme. Consideration of the preparations for Easter and my upcoming visit to Cornwall, where I intend to do soundseeing tours of St Materiana and at Minster Church in Boscastle. Photos already on www.maryinmonmouth@blogspot.com

The birth of Gwynlliw to Glwys King of a district of Gwent. Gwynlliw (Woolos)has to kill a lot of people to establish pace, then can't stop and uses Pill (Pill gwenlly-literally an inlet of water belonging to Gwynlliw)to raid passing ships. steal their booty and kill the crews. Cadoc (his son) andsaintly wife Gwladys pray for his conversion from his wicked ways. Gwynlliw has the vision of an angel and changes, living the life of a celibate couple with Gwladys until they separate and she joins a convent at Bassaleg-or nearby to Bassaleg Church, and he remains a hermit there on Stow Hill, having built his Church and dedicated it to Our Lady.

The statue of the bull placed in Newport town centre should be white-to reflect the next world,and his tomb can still be seen in the centre of the present Anglican Cathedral. The Catholic Church on Stow Hill is dedicated to our Lady as well, and is the Church where I was married and our Son christened. There are marvellous stained glass windows of the Newport Saints in both churches.

Finally I sing the Our Father -my own recording. Please enjoy it as an Easter gift.

The Original tenth century account of the life of David of Wales. We take up the story as David goes to preach against the heretical teaching of Pelagius. He defends church teaching as to the divinity of Christ and is praised by all the people as his voice is louad and can be heard. We learn the ground rose up beneath him, although he may have levitated.He founds monasteries and becomes a great pastor and church leader in Britain. (remember there were no Anglo Saxons yet!)which is all Celtic. David founds monasteries in Glastonbury in Gloucester, Cirencester, Leominster and many opther places. Finally the angel arrives to tell him to prepare to meet the Lord Jesus whom he had faithfully served all his life, and Rhygfarch tells the story of his death with poetry, sensitivity and rejoicing in the most glorious way he could. There follows a genealogy and Mass prayers for the feast Day of St David of Wales. It is worth remembering that until the 16th century schism, March 1st was a holiday throughout Britain.Normal Mary in Monmouth podcasts resume soon!

Part three of the Life of David of Wales:(Vita Sancti David) In illa die dixit coniunx Baia ad privignam suum, famulus simil ad vallem Alun et queramuscucumnerosillius, ut inveniamus nuvis in eis'. This sentence sets up the terrible murder and sacrilege in the Valley of Alun in Glyn Rhosyn. Saint Dunawd and her martyrdom. God rids David of the Scottish magician Boya by means of his enemy,the Rule of David is set up in Glyn Rhosyn after the manner of the Egyptian monks.

The miracles of the stream, Aidan and his miracle and departure for Ireland,the attempt on David's life and God's warning to Aidan.Pilgrimage to the Church in Rome with other Bishops and Barri of Ireland,and return-Mriacle of the Horse and meeting with St Brendan.Modomnoc and the miracle of the Bees and how they came to Ireland. New pilgrimage this time to Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Patriach's Presents and consecration of David to Bishop. David, Teilo and Padarn remain for a while to evangelise the Jewish people.On his return David arrives at Llanthony to his cell and makes a retreat.

Part Four follows shortly (Final Episode)

This short episode tells the story further. Boya the magician Scotsman goes out to murder David, but the Lord God prevents them from doing so and so they abuse the holy men at Glyn Rhosyn. They return to find their livestock has died, which are restored to them by the prayer of the Holy David. Also the lascivious females sent out by Boya's wife to incite the monks to the sin of lust and the Holy David's advice to the monks.

The Original account of the Life of the Holy Saint David of Wales. The thwarted mission of Patrick, the Prophecy and the Stag, the Bees and the fish, the conception of David by the nun St Non and King Sandde of Camarthen (Ceredigion) St Gildas loses the power of preaching, the Birth of David and the thunderstorm. Upbringing and education and the miracles . This is part one, which finishes the night before the big showdown with Boya the Scot and his wife and lascivious daughters,
