By the time of the 6th Century and St David, when the Saint at Llandewi Brefi bravely refuted thhe heresies of Pelagius, reports tell us that he preached before five large candles, representative of all the wounds of Christ. \r\nThe Wesleyan hymn ;Lo he comes with Clouds Descending, mentions the scars which have captured the imagination of many Christians.\r\nEvery Eye shall now behold him\r\nRobed in dreadful majesty\r\nThouse who set at naught and sold hi,\r\npierced and nailed him to a tree....\r\nThose dear tokens of his Passion\r\nStill his dazzling body bears\r\ncause of endless exultation\r\nTo his ransomed worshippers\r\nwith what rapture\r\nGaze we on those glorious scars!!\r\nI hope you find this beautiful devotion uplifting for the season of Lent. It loosely uses the prayers from the St Anthony Prayerbook, but I have adapted them slightly.\r\n","author_name":"maryinmonmouthshire's Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/maryinmonmouthshire.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/1355449\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/1355449"}
