Traditionally Florentina has been commemorated on March 14 . She died in 633. "Happy indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked; nor lingers in the way of sinners nor sits in the company of scorners, but whose delight is the law of the Lord and who ponders his law day and night." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Florentina m...
