Saint of the Day – 10 September – Saint Peter Martinez (Died c1000) Archbishop of Antealares at Compostela, Monk, Abbot, leader of the Spanish Reconquista. Born in Galicia, Spain, Also Known as – Peter of Mozonzo.
Peter’s religious life began in around 950, as a Benedictine Monk at the Monastery of Saint Mary of Monzonzo where he later became the Abbot.
In 986, he was appointed the Archbishop of Saint Martin of Antealares in Compostela. Peter played an important role in the Spanish Reconquista, which drove the Moors out of Spain.
Some believe he might have been the Author of the Salve Regina although it is most widely believed that it was composed by Blessed Herman of Reichenau (1013–1054) with the Doxology being spontaneously added by the Mellifluous Doctor, Saint Bernard (1090-1153).
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
