EUSTOCHIUM, WIDOW OF ROME - 7 OCTOBER

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER   Saints celebrated on the 7th of October WELCOME! EUSTOCHIUM, WIDOW A page of one of Fortunatus Hueber's Saints' books, "Stammenbuch..." (1693) Eustochium, a noble Roman lady, was wedded to a nobleman of Cartana, whom she had married at an early age.  The fiery sermons of the blessed Father Matthew of Agrigento moved her to renounce the world. In her eighteenth year she took the habit of the Third Order, in which she excelled in vigil, fasting, and diligent church attendance. She went to the hospitals, ministered to the sick with great love and gave them plentiful alms, although she had to put up with bitter reproaches and persecutions from her worldly husband, which she endured with the greatest patience for the love of God.  Because she lived in a childless marriage for a long time, she asked God through the Queen of Heaven for a daughter and vowed to dedicate her to the service of God in a nunnery. When she was heard, she called...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL Saints celebrated on the 30th of April WELCOME! EUSTELLA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR Eustella, a virgin and a king's daughter, is said to have been converted at Saintes in France by Saint Eutropius , the first bishop of this city.

By this act she outed herself and was publicly recognised as a Christian.  Her father was fuming about this and wanted to bring her back to paganism with all his might; but since he was not able to do this, he handed her over to the persecutors, who after much torment killed her. These events took place towards the end of the 3rd century . (Apr. III. 722) (Information from  Stadler 's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints,  Volume  2, Augsburg, ...
