  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 3rd January WELCOME! SAINT ANTHERUS, POPE ⬅️ Saintly Popes - Index Saint Antherus (Anteros) reigned November 21, 235 to January 3, 236). We know for certain only that he reigned some forty days, and that he was buried in the famous "papal crypt" of the cemetery of Saint Calixtus at Rome.  HE WAS MARTYRED The "Liber Pontificalis" says that he was martyred for having caused the Acts of the martyrs to be collected by notaries and deposited in the archives of the Roman Church. This tradition seems old and respectable; nevertheless the best scholars maintain that it is not sufficiently guaranteed by its sole voucher, the "Liber Pontificalis", on account, among other things, of the late date of that work’s compilation.  THE PREVALENCE OF GREEK IN THE EARLY CHURCH The site of his sepulchre was discovered by De Rossi in 1854, with some broken remnants of the Greek epitaph engraved on the narrow oblong sla...

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 3rd of January WELCOME! SAINT ENOCH, PATRIARCH Saint Henoch (Greek Enoch) was the father of Mathusala (Genesis 5:18 ff.). At the time of the birth of Mathusala Henoch was sixty-five years of age, "and all the days of Henoch were three hundred and sixty-five years" (Genesis 5:23).  Instead of the clause "and he died", added to the sketches concerning the other patriarchs, the text says of Henoch: "And he walked with God, and was seen no more: because God took him" (Genesis 5:24).  BY FAITH ENOCH WAS TRANSLATED The inspired writer of Hebrews 11:5 adds: "By faith Henoch was translated, that he should not see death." Sirach 44:16 and 49:16 intimates the same truth about the patriarch. The Epistle of Saint Jude (14-15) shows us Henoch in the light of a prophet, announcing the judgement of God upon the ungodly.  Some writers have supposed that Saint Jude quoted these words from the so-called apo...

SAINT PETER BALSAM, MARTYR (A.D. 311) Saint Peter Balsam, a native of the territory of Eleutheropolis, in Palestine, was apprehended at Aulane, in the persecution of Maximinus.  HE WAS BROUGHT BEFORE SEVERUS Being brought before Severus, governor of the province, the interrogatory began by asking him his name. Peter answered: "Balsam is the name of my family; but I received that of Peter in baptism." SEVERUS. "Of what family, and of what country are you?" PETER. "I am a Christian." SEVERUS. "What is your employ?" PETER. "What employ can I have more honourable, or what better thing can I do in the world, than to live a Christian?" SEVERUS. "Do you know the imperial edicts?" PETER. "I know the laws of God, the sovereign of the universe." SEVERUS. "You shall quickly know that there is an edict of the most clement emperors, commandin...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 3rd of January WELCOME! SAINT GENEVIEVE, VIRGIN Saint Genevieve was born at Nanterre near Paris c. A.D. 422, and, when only seven years old, blessed in a special manner by St Germanus of Auxerre , who foretold her sanctity and the vow of virginity by which she would bind herself.  At fifteen she received the veil of the Spouses of Christ, and thenceforth led a life of penance, bearing with heroic patience the calumnies and persecutions which became her lot.  HEROIC PATIENCE She greatly helped the Parisians during the siege of their city by the Franks. Later, she again saved it from destruction, as, through her prayers, Attila the Hun suddenly changed his devastating course through Gaul and turned aside his army, while still south of Paris. St Genevieve died A.D. 512. Her relics were at once venerated; and to a church in which she was buried her name was given. She is honoured as Patron Saint of Paris.  Infor...
