Saint of the Day – 4 August – Saint Perpetua (Died c80) Matron of Rome, disciple of St Peter, Apostle by whom she was converted and Baptised.
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Rome, St Perpetua, who was Baptised by the blessed Apostle Peter. She, converted her son Nazarius and her husband, Africanus, to the Faith. She buried the remains of many holy Martyrs and finally went to our Lord, endowed with an abundance of merits.”

As a young married woman and mother, St Perpetua, after her conversion by St Peter, Apostle, succeeded in converted her pagan husban named Africanus and her son, Nazarius, bringing them both to St Peter for Baptism.
Thereafter, in her courageous zeal for Christ and His Church, she proceeded by her corporal works of mercy, to collect and bury the bodies of those holy Martyrs of Christ who had been brutally murdered.
We have received no further information but do have the knowledge of her own Relics being solemnly enshrined partially in Milan and others, in Cremora, Italy.

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.”
