Saint of the Day – 28 October – Saint Cyrilla (3rd Century) Virgin Martyr of Rome. Cyrilla was the daughter of Emperor Decius and St Tryphonia.
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Rome, in the reign of Claudius, St Cyrilla, Virgin daughter of St Tryphonia, who was pierced through the throat for the faith of Christ.”
Although we have little information of St Cyrilla, tradition recalls her works of charity and almsgiving.
She, together with her mother converted 46 soldiers and their families. When she refused to sacrifice to the pagan gods, she was Martyred by the sword.
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. .
