He is also the Patron Saint of Army Rangers, Mariners, Fishermen, Fishmongers, Rope-makers, Singers, Sore throats, Spinsters, and women wishing to become mothers.

William Temple  He stands with pride
As well he might Medals upon his chest With memories of the fallen Who now are laid to rest The Legion Man  Today is All Saints Day. The Book of Common Prayer calls saints, “the lights of the world in every generation”– people whose lives and deeds have shone brightly and helped others more closely follow Jesus. ‘The saints’ is a term that, in English Bibles, is a translation of ‘holy ones’ and so on All Saints Day we pray that we may follow their example in godly life.
