SAINTS
23rd.St George. Died as a martyr in Palistine he is
honoured in both the Eastern (Greek and Russian
Orthodox) and Western Church ( Roman Catholic). The
knowledge of the saint reached England in 7th Cent. But the
popularity of the saint reached new heights because of the
crusades. Richard the lion heart put his army under the
protection of George, before the battle, which the English
army was victorious. The Saint was again connected with an English Victory when
at the battle of Agincourt. During Henry V speech he invoked George. He was
venerated as patron of England. During the Reformation his popularity diminished
and devotion to him was discouraged.
25th St. Mark Was closely connected with the preaching of
Sts Peter, Paul and Barnabas. His Gospel was probably
written in Rome when he was with Paul, and is traditionally
viewed as representing St. Peter’s approach to the preaching
of the good news. Later tradition has him as an interpreter
for St. Peter. His symbol is a winged lion.
27th April St. Asicus Was St. Patrick’s expert craftsman in
metal work and accompanied him on his journeys. He was
left in charge of the church in Elphin with Patrick is said to
have founded.
28th April St. Peter Chanel Born in
France, 1803, joined the Marists. He
worked on the island of Futuna,
Oceania, where he was clubbed to death for baptising the
chief’s son.
28th April St. Louis Marie
Grignion de Montfort. 1673—1716
As a young priest discovered his true vocation preaching
missions. Most important was the spirit of prayer which
he instilled especially with the recitation of the rosary. A
few years before his death, Louis gathered together a few
priests who became the first members of his Company of
Mary. He died at Saint-Laurent-sur-Sevre on April 28, 1716.
