The Station at Rome was at St. Tryphon's, who died a Martyr in the East. This Church having been destroyed, the Station was removed, under Pope Clement VIII, to a neighbouring Church, that of St. Augustine.

Saturday is the day of rest, which symbolises the eternal Sabbath (Epistle of the Mass of the day). To reach it, we must, during Lent, struggle by "solemn fast" (Collect of the Mass) and by works of charity (Epistle) against our passions, of which the rough sea and the contrary winds, spoken of in the Gospel, are a figure.

In this hard struggle, Jesus will come to our aid (Postcommunion), as He did to the Apostles and "heal our bodies and our Souls by fasting." (Collect), as He healed all the sick in the country of Genesareth.
