Today we remember
Saint Eleutherius
Among many other Saints

[odhiambo]

Saint Eleutherius
Benedictine Abbot.
According to Saint Gregory the Great’s Dialogues, in which he mentioned Eleutherius many times, the latter was abbot of Saint Mark’s Monastery near Spoleto, Italy. Saint Gregory described him as a miracle worker, known to have performed many miracles. According to Saint Companions for Each Day authored by A.J.M. Mausolfe and J.K. Mausolfe, once, when Saint Eleutherius was staying at a convent, he was asked to pray for a boy who was troubled every night by an evil spirit. He did so and for long the boy was not troubled by the evil spirit. This prompted Saint Eleutherius to remark: “ Since the child is among the servants of God, the devil dares not approach him!” Thereupon, the devil returned to his old abode within the child, tormenting him mercilessly. The abbot realized he had been guilty of vanity. He humbly confessed his fault and, with the whole community, fasted and prayed till the boy was again freed from the evil possession.
Eleutherius went to Saint Gregory’s monastery in Rome where he lived for many years before he died there in 585

Yes, or to think of it another way, we have it much harder.. in the short term here, and in the long term above, because of the lack of it.. we pay a great price..

Saint Regina

Saint Regina
She is also known as Reine. According to legend, Regina was the daughter of Clement Alise, a pagan in Burgandy. Her mother died during her birth and Regina was raised a Christian by a local woman. When her father learned that she was a Christian, he threw her out of his house. She went to live with the woman who had raised her, earning her living as a shepherdess. Meanwhile, the local prefect, named Olybrius, became enamored with her and demanded her hand in marriage. She turned him down, whereupon she was arrested as a Christian, tortured and beheaded at Autun in modern France. She died in 286.
