Highlights of the Week
Today: Feast of St. Laurence, who was arrested by the Prefect of Rome and brought before him, was asked to turn over the riches of the Church. Looking over the crowd outside of the poor, the Saint said they were the true treasure of Holy Church. Sentenced to death on 10 AUG 258, he was roasted to death, told the executioner to turn him over as he was done on that side. The Saint is commemorated in the Mass. MON, 11 AUG: Feast of SS Tiburtius and Susanna, both dates of martyrdom unknown. TUES 12 AUG: St. Clare, sister of St. Francis, was Superior of the Second Order established by him. WED, 13 AUG: Feast of SS Hippolytus and Cassian. The former was a schismatic priest who opposed St. Callistus, the Pope, but was sent to Sardinia at beginning of the III Century, with then Pope Pontian, became reconciled to the Faith, and was then martyred in 235. Cassian, a schoolteacher, was murdered by his pagan students who stabbed him to death in about 303. THURS, 14 AUG: Vigil of the Assumption of the BVM. Catholics believe she was taken into Heaven, body and soul, before her mortal body was corrupted. Tradition says she underwent dormition where she fell asleep before being assumed into Heaven. Commemoration of St. Eusebius a IV Century priest, and fought against the Arian heretics who denied the Divinity of Our Lord. He was condemned to death by starvation in his own home by Emperor Constantius, an Arian. FRI, 15 AUG: Holy Day of Obligation, Feast of the Assumption of the BVM. On 1 NOV 1950 Pope Pius XII declared ex cathedra that “...the Immaculate Mother of God...was taken into Heaven, body and soul.” This doctrine all Catholics are obliged to believe. New Mass Propers were written for this Feast by Pope Pius. SAT, 16 AUG: St. Pius X transferred the Feast of St. Joachim, Father of the BVM, from 20 MAR to the day after the Assumption.
