St. Honoré of Amiens was the sixth bishop of Amiens. During his time as bishop in the seventh century, he helped recover relics which had been hidden for hundreds of years. When Honoré died, his relics were invoked against droughts and downpours and were known to cause favorable weather conditions for the harvest of wheat. Because of this, he is beloved by bakers, and processions in his honor have been held centuries after his death to ensure plentiful harvests. St. Honoré is the patron saint of bakers, candle-makers, florists and confectioners of all kinds.
Questions for Reflection
- How can you help other people “weather a storm” in their lives?
- Are you experiencing a spiritual drought in your life? How might you reexamine your relationship with God to strengthen your relationship with him?
