CS 1299: This Week's Saints and Their Impact on the Church: Friday

This week we will be exploring the saints who are celebrating feast days, and the great impact they made on the Church. Each of these stories reminds us of the power of the Holy Spirit, which enables us to proclaim the truth, face death with love and remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Here is a preview of who we will be discussing: Monday is the feast day of St. Jose Maria Escriva. Learn about Opus Dei and how we can make our ordinary work holy! Tuesday is the feast day of St. Cyril of Alexandria, a Doctor of the Church who taught clearly about the nature of Christ and Mary as the Theotokos. Wednesday is the feast day of Irenaeus of Lyon. Through Irenaeus we have a special view of how the Faith passes from one person the next. Thursday is the feast day of Sts Peter and Paul who, tradition tells us, where martyred in Rome on the same day (June 29th, 67). Finally, on Friday we celebrate the First Martyrs of Rome, those brave people who died willing for Jesus after Nero burned down Rome in the year 64.
