Saint Remigius, Remy or Remi, (French: Saint Rémi or Saint Rémy; Italian: Remigio; Spanish: Remigio; Occitan: Romieg; Polish: Remigiusz; Breton: Remig and Lithuanian: Remigijus), was Bishop of Reims and Apostle of The Franks, (circa 437 A.D. – 13 January 533 A.D.).

On 24 December 496 A.D., he Baptised Clovis I, King of The Franks. This Baptism, leading to the conversion of the entire Frankish people to Nicene Christianity, was a momentous success for The Catholic Church and a seminal event in European history.

Jerome was born at Stridon, in Dalmatia, and was Baptised in Rome. He was educated at a School held by very distinguished Professors. Ordained Priest, he retired into a Monastery Founded by two great Roman ladies, Saint Paula and Saint Eustochium, at Bethlehem, near The Crib in which Our Lord was born.

Mortifying himself by perpetual abstinence, and devoting himself to meditation of The Scriptures (Gradual), he spent days and nights in study and writing. It is he who fixed the Latin Text in The Translation known as The Vulgate, which The Church adopted as the Official Translation of The Bible.

He died in 420 A.D., and his body rests in Rome in the Church of Saint Mary Major.

The following Text is from Wikipedia.

Saint Jerome (Latin: Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus; Greek: Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος; circa 347 A.D. – 30 September 420 A.D.) was a Catholic Priest, Confessor, Theologian and Historian, who also became a Doctor of The Church. He was the son of Eusebius, born at Stridon, an Illyrian village on the border of Dalmatia and Pannonia.

He is best known for his translation of most of The Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as The Vulgate), and his Commentaries on The Gospels. His list of writings is extensive. Known as the “Protégé” of Pope Damasus I, who died in December of 384 A.D., Jerome was known for his teachings on Christian moral life, especially to those living in cosmopolitan centres such as Rome.

In many cases, he focused his attention on the lives of women and identified how a woman, devoted to Jesus Christ, should live her life. This focus stemmed from his close Patron relationships with several prominent female ascetics, who were members of affluent Roman “Senatorial Families”.

He is recognised as a Saint by The Roman Catholic Church, The Eastern Orthodox Church, The Lutheran Church, and The Church of England (Anglican Communion).

His Feast Day is 30 September.

29 September was formerly Dedicated to All The Angels (Introit, Collect, Gradual, Communion), wherefore Pope Boniface II, about 530 A.D., chose that date to Dedicate a Church in The Great Circus, at Rome, to Saint Michael.

The Mass composed for the occasion has since been appointed for The 18th Sunday After Pentecost; it still relates to The Dedication of a Church. The present Mass was composed more recently.

The Hebrew meaning of "Michael" is: "Who is like God ?", and recalls the combat which took place in Heaven between "The Archangel of God, who deserved to be placed at The Head of The Heavenly Host", and the devil.

Sermon: Saint Michael The Archangel.

As we have fallen through sin into the power of Satan, it is Saint Michael's part to continue the fight for our deliverance (Alleluia, and Prayer after Mass); wherefore, our Guardian Angels are subordinate to him.

Saint Michael conquers Satan's pride and obtains humility for us. It is also he who presides over The Worship of Adoration rendered to The Most High, for he offers to God The Prayers of The Saints, symbolised by Incense, whose smoke rises towards Heaven (Offertory, Blessing of The Incense).

When a Christian has left this World, we Pray that The Standard-Bearer, Saint Michael, should introduce the Christian into Heaven; he is also often represented with The Scales of Divine Justice, wherein Souls are weighed. His name is mentioned in The Confiteor, after that of Mary, who is The Queen of Angels.

Saint Michael was The Protecting Angel of The Synagogue, as he is now of The Church, which has succeeded it. To him, The Liturgy attributes The Revelation of The Future, made to Saint John in The Apocalypse (Epistle).

Every Parish Priest Celebrates Mass for the people of his Parish.

Wenceslaus, Duke of Bohemia, always practised the greatest Christian Virtues.

Full of Charity, he helped, with his Alms, Orphans Widows, and Poor People. He delivered Captives, and visited Prisoners. He kept all through his life the treasure of his Virginity intact. He had a very great Veneration for Priests and, with his own hands. he sowed the Wheat and pressed the Grapes which were to be used for The Holy Sacrifice.

However, instigated by his mother, the impious Boleslas, his brother, realising what Jesus had foretold "that a man will have for his enemies those of his own family" (Gospel), determined to get rid of the Duke.

He invited him to a banquet, and, afterwards, followed him to a Church, where he cruelly stabbed him as he was Praying for his enemies.

Saint Wenceslaus died in 938 A.D. Hungary, Poland, and Bohemia chose him for their Patron.

Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian, brothers by blood, were more closely united by their Faith in Jesus Christ, and by their common Martyrdom suffered for His sake (Alleluia). They were born, and lived, at Aegea, Asia-Minor, and distinguished themselves as physicians in the reign of the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian.

They healed the worst diseases as much by the virtue of Christ as by their medical knowledge. Their reputation soon spread everywhere. They were Apostles, rather than physicians. They healed Souls as well as bodies, following the example of Jesus in Palestine (Gospel).

They were denounced to the Prefect, Lysias, and suffered the most cruel torments and were thrown in chains into the sea, stoned, and exposed to the flames of a brazier. After several other tortures, they died about 285 A.D., and their bodies were taken to Rome and laid in the ancient temple of Romulus, transformed into a Church, which was Dedicated to them and where The Station is held on The Thursday of The Third Week in Lent.

Their names are mentioned in The Canon of The Mass, after several Roman Martyrs.

"At Nicomedia,", says The Roman Martyrology, "the birth in Heaven of the Holy Martyrs Cyprian and Justina. This Virgin, after having endured many tortures under The Emperor Diocletian and the Judge Eutholmus, converted to Christ, Cyprian the Magician, who had tried to seduce her by his incantations.

Both were Martyred in 304 A.D. Their bodies, after having been exposed to wild beasts, were taken away during the night by some Christian mariners, who carried them to Rome. Later, they were buried in the Basilica of Constantine (Saint John Lateran), near the Baptistry."
