St. King Edward Oct. 13

King Edward, called the Confessor, nephew of St. Edward the King and Martyr, was the last of the Saxon Kings. When he was ten tears old the Danes who were devastating England sought to kill him. He was forced to go into exile at the court of his uncle, the duke of Normandy. There the innocence of Edward’s life was the admiration of all. With the destruction of the tyrants, who had killed his brothers and usurped their kingdom, he was called back to his own country, where he devoted himself to wiping out all traces of the enemy’s occupation. He began with the restoration of the churches. Famous for the gift of prophecy he foresaw in a heavenly way a great deal about the future state of England. He was wonderfully devoted to St. John the Evangelist, and on the day which the Evangelist predicted to him, January 5, 1066, he died a most holy death. Alexander III enrolled him among the Saints.  1960 Breviary

He was canonized by Alexander III in 1161. His feast is kept on the 13th of October, his incorrupt body having been solemnly translated on that day in 1163 by St. Thomas of Canterbury in the presence of King Henry II.  Catholic Encyclopedia

Here is the prophecy he receive and told his wife before he died.  England will be part of the new pentecost.

The green tree which springs from the trunk 

When thence it shall be severed 

And removed to a distance of three acres 

By no engine or hand of man 

Shall return to its original trunk 

And shall join itself to its root 

Whence first it had origin 

The head shall receive again its verdure 

It shall bear fruit after its flower 

Then shall you be able for certainty 

To hope for amendment

The green tree or shoot represents England, the trunk is the Catholic Church. The offshoot of the trunk is removed to a distance of three acres, which represent three centuries. After which the shoot returns to the trunk and reflowers, which refers to the return of the episcopacy in 1850, three hundred years after the Anglican Church broke away from Rome during the English Reformation under King Henry VIII. The tree bearing fruit after its flowering is still yet to come, when the full conversion of England will inaugurate the Second Pentecost, as foretold by numerous other prophecies such as those of La Salette. St. Edward states that England will be able to hope for amendment for past wrongs by this unique grace.  Vita Ædwardi Regis
