JEROME, RELIGIOUS - 26 DECEMBER

Saints celebrated on the 26th of December

JEROME, RELIGIOUS

Jerome (Hieronymus), commemorated on 26 December, was a Spanish Franciscan of Villa-Carrillo, whose work as a missionary in Peru was accompanied by extraordinary blessings.

HIS HUMILITY

In view of his great merits, it was attempted to make him bishop of Tucuman (one of the La Plata states), a dignity which he persistently refused out of humility.

His power of persuasion was so extraordinary that he often - by a look he cast into their souls - brought people who had strayed to repentance.

HIS PRAYERS

He prayed the holy office standing upright all the way through, even at an old age, and he recited it slowly and with the greatest devotion. He used to read Mass for an hour with abundant tears.

He died around the year 1590 in Lima, Peru. Vast crowds payed their last respects, and he left the reputation of being an example of a genuine religious.

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 7th of January WELCOME! SAINT VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA Saint Valentine (Valentinus) is the patron saint of the diocese of Passau. The Proprium of Passau relates his life story as follows: Saint Valentine came from the seashore and arrived at Batava, today's Passau. Here he wanted to proclaim the gospel to the inhabitants, who were ignorant of the true worship of God, and therefore went to Rome to obtain the necessary authority from the Pope for this undertaking. Upon his return, he invested much time and effort to gain those lost souls for Christ, as the Pope expected him to. Valentine himself thirsted for their salvation, incessantly preaching the Divine word to them. After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground. Thus he travelled again to Rome with the request to be sent to another place that had fertile soil. The Pope received him graciously, consecra...
