Saint of the Day – 28 October – Saint Honoratus of Vercelli (c330-415) the 3rd Bishop of Vercelli, Disciple of St Eusebius of Vercelli, the 1st Bishop of Vercelli and a close friend of the great Father and Doctor of the Church, St Ambrose (340-397). Born in c330 in Vercelli in the region of Piedmont in northern Italy and died on 28 or 29 October 415 (records vary) at his See and hometown of Verelli of natural causes. Also known as – Honoratius. Additional Memorial – 29 October.

The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Vercelli, St Honoratus, the Bishop.”

Honoratus was a disciple of St Eusebius and trained in the spiritual and Ecclesiastical life by the City’s first Bishop (from c340-371).

In 355 he accompanied his master in exile, to Scythopolis and in his wanderings through Cappadocia, Egypt and Illyria.

In 396, Honoratus was elected as the new Bishop of Vercelli after Lidmenius (Limenio). The election took place on the recommendation of Saint Ambrose of Milan, who personally Concecrated him.

At Easter 397, Honoratus was in Milan to visit and minister to St Ambrose who was very ill. On Good Friday St Amrose lay, with his arms outstretched in the form of a cross for many hours, while moving his lips in constant prayer. Honoratus was resting in another room when he seemed to hear a voice calling out three times to him: “Get up! Hurry up! He’s dying!” He went immediately and administered the Last Rites and soon after, the holy Bishop was dead, early in the morning of Easter Eve, 4 April 397, not yet sixty years old.

Honoratus died on 28 or 29. October 415. He was buried next to Eusebius and Lidmenius. His memorial day is October 28 or 29.

Lord of Miracles/Señor de los Milagros de Nazarenas – A mid-17th-century painting of the Crucifixion which is venerated in Lima, Peru and its celebration involves one of the largest processions in the world.
It was painted by an unnamed African taken to Peru as a slave from what is now Angola. Above the Cross is the Holy Ghost and God the Father. Below and to the right of Jesus, is His mother, the Virgin Mary with her heart pierced by a Sword of Sorrow. Kneeling and weeping at the foot of the Cross is St Mary Magdalene.
The name originated on 13 November 1655 when everything around it was destroyed in an earthquake which left the painting standing and undamaged. Christ is shown enduring the pain of Crucifixion.
Every year in October, hundreds of thousands of devotees participate in a procession honouring the imag,e through the streets of Lima. Boulevards are decorated in purple from 18 or 19 and the final Feast 28 October, to celebrate the Lord of Miracles.
