PETRUS DE QUERIOLETT, PRIEST

Petrus de Queriolett, the son of a councilor, was born on July 14, 1602 in Auray in Brittany.

He led a very dissolute life, during which he retained almost nothing good other than a few devotions to the Blessed Virgin. After having witnessed the exorcism on a girl possessed, however, he was converted and from then on led a severe life of penance.

After he had received the priestly ordination in 1631, for the remaining 23 years of his earthly life, he only practiced rigour and good works: he used his possessions to comfort the unhappy, visited hospitals and prisons, fasted and prayed - these were his occupations until his death.

This took place on October 8, 1660, in his 59th year. It is said that several people recovered from the effect of his prayer, and that others experienced the same thing at his grave.

The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady.

ST VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA - 7 JANUARY

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.
