Martyrs of Antioch: A group of Christians martyred together by Emperor Maximian Galerius. Martyred in c 300 in Antioch, Syria.
Today, I remember in prayer the students and staff of St.Joseph’s School in the parish of St. Aengus in Tallaght, where my late husband served for a number of years.
Thank you for your work in pointing out this day of remembrance.
May all of us, in our many ways, work together to bring about the Kingdom of God under the care and protection of Mary our Mother and Joseph her spouse and guardian of the Child Jesus. What we do for one of the least, we do for Him.

I did a little research on Wikipedia. The suggestion is that the term Aengus the Culdee is a corruption of the Irish term Céile Dé, which means according to Wikipedia Servant of God. I would translate it as Companion of God….

How beautiful Anne Marie – how wonderful to know. Your dear one is much in your thoughts and prayers today.
Perhaps a moment of reflection for the Church Magisterium? We have Servants of God, what about a veneration “Companion of God’?

I am taking the translation Céile Dé as equivalent to the phrases fear ché

Sorry…. that slipped away from me..
In Irish the word for husband is fear chéile ( man companion) and for wife is bean céile (woman companion)…. similarly céile Dé is companion of God. There is a lovely sacramental theme here….

Amen! Yes – this could well be used in an inspirational ‘marriage’ homily.
