  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 1st of January   WELCOME! SAINT FULGENTIUS, BISHOP AND CONFESSOR Fabius Claudius Gordianus Fulgentius was the descendant of a noble senatorian family of Carthage: but much decayed in its splendour by the invasion of the Vandals.  His father, Claudius, being unjustly deprived of his house in Carthage, which was made over to the Arian priests, settled at an estate belonging to him at Telepte, the capital city of the province of Byzacena.  HE WAS BORN IN 468 Our saint was born in 468, about thirty years after the Barbarians had dismembered Africa from the Roman empire.  He was educated in sentiments of piety with his younger brother, under the care of his mother Mariana, who was left a young widow.  Being, by her particular direction, taught the Greek very young, he spoke it with as proper and exact an accent as if it had been his native language.

Divine grace inclined him from his infancy to devote himself to God with his whole heart.  He was very young when he received the monastic habit at Cluny, from the hands of St Mayeul, by whose appointment he was made his coadjutor in 991, though only twenty-nine years of age; and from the death of St Mayeul in 994, our saint was charged with the entire government of that great abbey.  He laboured to subdue his carnal appetites by his rigorous fasting, wearing hair-cloth next his skin, and studded iron chains. Notwithstanding those austerities practised on himself, his carriage to others was most mild and humane. It was usual with him to say, that of two extremes he chose rather to offend by tenderness, than a too rigid severity.  THE GREAT FAMINE IN 1006 In a great...
