The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER LXIX
That in the Monastery No One Presume to Defend Another
Care must be taken that on no occasion one monk try to defend another in the
monastery, or to take his part, even though they be closely related by ties
of blood. Let it not be attempted by the monks in any way; because such
conduct may give rise to very grave scandal. If anyone overstep this rule, let him
be severely punished.
Martyrology-April 28th
Roman Martyrology-April 28th-on this date in various years-
St. Paul of the Cross, priest and confessor, founder of the Congregation of
the Cross and Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. He went to his repose in
the Lord on the 18th of October.
At Ravenna, the birthday of St. Vitalis, martyr, father of the Saints
Gervase and Protase. When he had taken up and reverently buried the body of
blessed Ursicinus, he was arrested by the governor Paulinus, and after being
racked and thrown into a deep pit, was covered with earth and stones, and by this
kind of martyrdom went to Christ.
At Atino in Campania, St. Mark, who was made bishop by the blessed apostle
Peter. He was the first to preach the Gospel to the Equicoli, and received
the crown of martyrdom in the persecution of Domitian, under the governor
Maximus.
At Broussa in Bithynia, the holy martyrs Patrick, a bishop, Acatius,
Menander, and Polyaenus.
On the same day, the holy martyrs Aphrodisius, Caralippus, Agapius, and
Eusebius.
In Hungary, St. Pollio, martyr, under the Emperor Diocletian.
At Milan, the martyr St. Valeria, who was the wife of St. Vitalis and the
mother of Saints Gervase and Protase.
At Alexandria, the martyrdom of the virgin St. Theodora. For refusing to
sacrifice to idols, she was sent to a place of debauchery; but one of the
brethren, named Didymus, through the admirable providence of God, delivered her
by quickly exchanging garments with her. He was afterwards beheaded and
crowned with her in the persecution of Diocletian, under the governor Eustratius.
At Tarrazona in Spain, St. Prudentius, bishop and confessor.
At Corfinio in Peligno, St. Pamphilus, bishop of Valva, illustrious for his
charity towards the poor and the gift of miracles. His body was buried at
Solmona.
At St. Laurent sur Sevres, in the diocese of Lucon, St. Louis-Marie Grignion
de Montfort, confessor and founder of the Missionaries of the Company of
Mary and the Sisters of Wisdom, a form of apostolic life. He was renowned for
his preaching and devotion to the Blessed Mother, and was added to the number
of the saints by Pope Pius XII.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and
holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God. |
