Abbot and Irish missionary. An Irish prince, Abban was the son of King Cormac of Leinster. He is listed as the nephew of St. Ibar. Abban founded many churches in the old district of Ui Cennselaigh, in modern County Wexford and Ferns. His main monastery is Magheranoidhe, in Adamstown, Ireland. This monastery's fame is attributed in some records to another Abban, that of New Ross. Abban is also associated with Kill-Abban Abbey in Leinster, serving as abbot there until March 16, 620. He is revered in Adamstown, which was once called Abbanstown. |

For years, this crippled man would go to the same spot, doing the some thing day in and day out. One day, someone offered him help to have him operated on so he can walk again and find a more decent work than begging. But this man refused to be helped.
God has provided us everything we need to make our lives better. But we need to work on it as well. We cannot expect great things to happen without us making it happen. If we find ourselves inn a bad situation now, it’s good to ask it we’re here because of something we’re not doing.
Complaining, being jealous and criticizing others will not make things any better. We must not blame others for the bad things that happen in our lives.
It’s one thing to say we want our situation to change, it’s something else to actually do something about it. |

Reflection: If you have been in the situation for a long time and nothing is changing, you may need to stop what you are doing and start doing something else. Dear Father, guide me in my ways and lead me to where I should be. May I have the courage to do what is necessary and to change what needs to be changed. Amen |
