ST THEOBALD, RELIGIOUS - 13 SEPTEMBER

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 13th of September WELCOME! SAINT THEOBALD, RELIGIOUS Saint Theobald, (September 13, February 8, and November 6) is listed in the French Martyrology * on September 13, but in the Elenchus * on November 6. His birthplace is Chaix, parish of Bazeuge ; his year of birth 990. Nothing has been handed down to us regarding his parents.  He studied at the school in Dorat, where St Israel was famous at the time. There he became a canon and treasurer of the monastery. All his efforts were directed towards ever greater self-improvement, never being idle, and constantly keeping God's presence before his eyes.  Because he considered himself unworthy, he did not receive priestly ordination, or any higher ordination.

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JULY Saints celebrated on the 12th of July WELCOME! SAINT PAULINUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS The story of these holy martyrs is rooted in pious legend. Saint Paulinus was born in Antioch and accompanied  Saint Peter   to Rome, where the Prince of the Apostles ordained him bishop and sent him to Lucca to preach the word of God. In a short time, assisted by the priest Severus and the deacon Luke, he converted a large group of pagan men and women to Christianity. He built seven churches, for which he appointed priests and other clergy, so that the newly converted Christian flock would be fed the bread of eternal life. News of the spread of Christianity soon reached the cruel Emperor Nero, who had Bishop Paulinus seized along with Saint Severus, the priest, Saint Luke, the deacon, and the holy soldier  Saint Theobald and many others.  They were brought before the tyrant, who, upon their refusal to sacrifice to his idols, cruelly beat them a...
