Saint of the Day – 18 October – St Tryphonia (3rd Century) Widow of Rome. Some sources believe she might have been a Martyr. Also known as – Tryfonia, Tryphona.
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Rome, St Tryphonia, at once time the wife of the Caesar Decius. She was buried in a crypt near St Hippolytus.”
Tradition states that she may have been the widow of the Christian enemy, Emperor Trajanus Decius or the widow of his son. It is unclear whether she was Martyred.
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. .
