The two great Roman Martyrs, Fabian and Sebastian, made manifest, the first in 250 A.D. in the Persecution of Decius, the second in 284 A.D. in that of Diocletian, The Divine Power of Christ "Who operated wonders in them" (Gradual). The ancient Martyrologies unite their names.
The appearance of The Holy Ghost, in the form of a Dove, had attested The Divinity of Jesus on the day of His Baptism. It was also a Dove, hovering above Fabian, that pointed him out to The Church as Vicar of Jesus Christ.
Saint Sebastian, an Officer of The Imperial Household and Commander of a Cohort, encouraged his brothers-in-arms, subjected to torments on account of their Faith. Diocletian ordered him to be pierced with arrows. Sebastian, having escaped death, reappeared before the Emperor and reproached him with his crimes. He was condemned to be flogged to death.
Like the Martyrs mentioned in the Epistle, these two Saints "were found perfect in the testimony they bore of their Faith in Jesus Christ," for "it is for the cause of The Son of Man that they suffered persecution" (Gospel), Numerous cures were wrought by Saint Sebastian or, rather, by the virtue of Christ which was in him (Gospel and Communion).
Let us in our weakness have recourse (Collect) to the powerful protection of these glorious Martyrs.

Cathy Warwick, the Chief Executive of The Royal College of Midwives (RCM), will step down from the role and retire at the end of August 2017, it has been announced.
Prof Warwick is also Chairman of Trustees for The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), and came under fire when she signed the RCM up to their "We Trust Women Campaign", which advocates for full decriminalisation of ABORTION on demand up to birth.
This means that the RCM, which is Britain's biggest Maternity Union, representing nearly 30,000 Midwives and Health Workers, is calling for women to be allowed to terminate an unborn child at any stage of pregnancy, for any reason, with no criminal sanctions.
