Saint Laserian

St. Laserian, who is believed to have been born in 566, hailed from a noble Ulaid family. At a tender age, Laserian was sent to Scotland, where he received his education from monks. Even as a young man, he was renowned for his extraordinary miracles.

Following his education, Laserian went on to live as a hermit on Holy Island, off the coast of the Isle of Arran. Here, he resided in a cave, and the island later became known as Molaise's Island. During his time on the island, Laserian was known to have performed numerous miracles, such as enabling water to flow for milling purposes and banishing robbers from the Monastery's vicinity.

After spending some time on Holy Island, Laserian embarked on a journey to Rome. During his time in Rome, Laserian gained the favor of Pope Gregory the Great, who ordained him. Following his ordination, Laserian set out on a mission to Ireland with the intention of spreading the word of God. In the late sixth century, Laserian founded a monastic community in the southern region of Leinster at a place called Old Leighlin. Laserian's miraculous powers quickly became evident as he restored the life of a boy who had been beheaded.

Under his guidance, the Monastery flourished and attracted other holy men. St Finbar of Cork and St Molua, who had his monastic settlement in County Laois, were among those who visited Laserian at his Monastery.

According to historical accounts, St. Laserian passed away during the period between 638 and 641. The earliest known reference to Laserian is found in the "Martyrology of Oengus," a document that dates back over 1,000 years. In this ancient text, Laserian's death is recorded as having occurred on April 18th, which is also his feast day.

St. Laserian, you dedicated your life to serving the Lord with humility. Inspire us to live with a similar spirit of humility and reverence for God. Amen.
