SAINT VERONICA OF MILAN - 13 JANUARY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 13th of January WELCOME! SAINT VERONICA OF MILAN, VIRGIN  (A.D. 1497) All states furnish abundant means for attaining to sanctity, and Christian perfection, and it is only owing to our sloth and tepidity that we neglect to make use of them.  NO WORLDLY ADVANTAGES This saint could boast of no worldly advantages either by birth or fortune. Her parents maintained their family by hard labour in a village near Milan, and were both very pious; her father never sold a horse, or any thing else he delt in, without being more careful to acquaint the purchaser with all that was secretly faulty in it, than to recommend its good qualities.  His narrow circumstances prevented his giving his daughter any schooling, so that she never learned to read; but his own, and his devout wife’s example, and fervent though simple instructions, filled her tender heart from the cradle with lively sentiments of virtue.  UNINTERRUPTE...

ST REMIGIUS, ARCHBISHOP OF REIMS - 13 JANUARY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 13th of January WELCOME! SAINT REMIGIUS OF RHEIMS [REIMS], BISHOP Saint Remigius, descended from a noble family of France, was, in his time, one of the most learned and holy prelates of the church. His parents were Aemilius, Lord of Laon, and St Cilinia. After two sons had been born to them, they remained for a long time without any other issue, and had given up all hope of seeing their family increased.  THE BABY WOULD GROW UP AND ILLUMINE ALL FRANCE WITH HIS PIETY AND VIRTUES Montanus, a saintly hermit, who one day visited the castle in which they lived, informed them, by divine revelation, that they would receive a son who, chosen by God, was to illumine all France with his piety and virtues. The prophecy of Montanus became true: Remigius was born, and the pious parents, who regarded him as an especial gift of heaven, left nothing undone to give him a most holy education. In this task they found no difficulty, as R...

SAINT FEAST DAY 13 JANUARY: ST HILARY OF POITIERS

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 13th of January WELCOME!  SAINT HILARY, BISHOP OF POITIERS Saint Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers in the fourth century, was one of the great champions of Catholic belief in the divinity of Christ. By his preaching, his treatise on the Trinity, his part in the Councils, his daring opposition to the Emperor Constantius, he showed himself a courageous apostle of the Truth.  A COURAGEOUS APOSTLE OF THE TRUTH He could not tolerate that the plea of safeguarding peace and unity should be allowed to dim the light of Gospel teaching. His ambition was to be called a pupil of the Truth. Pius IX proclaimed him a doctor of the Church. St Hilary died in 376. PRAYER: Grant, we pray You, Almighty God, that the example of St Hilary and that of all Your Saints may lead us to a better life, so that by keeping their feast-days we may be brought to imitate their good deeds. St Hilary was a champion of the Truth; may we never tell lies to excuse ...
