Saint of the Day – 28 July – Saint Acatius (Died c310) Bishop af Miletus in Asia Minor and Martyr. Also known as – Acacius, Acacio, Acazio and … the Younger..
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Miletus, in the time of the Emperor Licintius, the holy Martyr, Acatius, who completed his Martyrdom by havine his head stuck off, after having undergone different torments and been thrown into a furnace from which he came out uninjured, through the assistance of God.”
Acatius was Martyred during the persecution of the Eastern Emperor, Licinius (308-311) in Miletus, Asia Minor.
The fragments of his deeds which have come down to us from the Greek Vita, are miraculous as so many of our Martyrs were so wonderfully protected. According to the Acts Acatius survived unscathed, the most diverse tortures reserved for Christians, including beatings, wild beasts and terrible fires, during which the Tribune in charge of the execution perished in his place; finally, he was beheaded.
Passionate Catholic.

Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.

"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.”
