Saint of the Day – 19 August – Saint Maginus (Died c306) Hermit Martyr of Brufaganya, Spain. Nobly born in Burgundy modern France and died by being beheaded with a sickle durinmg the persecutions of Diocletian in c3046 in Tarragona, Spain. Patronage of Tarragona. Also known as – Magi, Magin.
Maginus, being orphaned at a young age, and desiring to give himself to God, became a Hermit in a cave on Mount Brufaganya located at 760m above sea level, above the beginning of the Torrent de Sant Magí.
Upon the arrival of the Roman Prefect Dacian in Tarragona, persecuting Christians under the edict of Emperor Maximian, and Diocletian, Maginus tried to convert them to the Faith and was imprisoned.
Being miraculously freed, he left the City by a gate now called Sant Magí, where he dedicated a Chapel and returned to Mount Brufaganya.
Being captured once again in his cave, Maginus was taken to Tarragona, then transferred to Gaià, where he was beheaded.
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. .
