Saint Eleutherius governed The Church during the period that followed the persecution of the Emperor Commodus.

Faith, at the time, made great progress in the whole World. After a Pontificate lasting fifteen years, he died in 185 A.D., and was buried on The Vatican Hill, near the body of Saint Peter.

Saint Philip, born at Florence in the 16th-Century, left everything to serve The Divine Master (Gospel), and Founded The Congregation of The Oratory.

The Holy Ghost had inflamed him with such love for God (Introit, Alleluia, Secret), that the palpitations of his heart bent two of his ribs (Communion).

He would spend whole nights in the contemplation of Heavenly things, and The Spirit of Truth "taught him true Wisdom" (Epistle). His conversations with Jesus filled him with such intense joy that he exclaimed: "Enough, Love, enough ! "

He loved young men: "Amuse yourselves," he said to them, "but do not offend God."

He died in 1595 on The Feast of Corpus Christi.

Like Saint Philip, with our hearts full of a holy and loving joy, let us run in the way of the commandments of God (Collect).

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

Pope Urban I (Latin: Urbanus I) was Bishop of Rome, or Pope, from 222 A.D. to 23 May 230 A.D. He was born in Rome and succeeded Pope Callixtus I, who had been Martyred.

Much of Urban's life is shrouded in mystery, leading to many myths and misconceptions. Despite the lack of sources, he is the first Pope whose Reign can be definitely dated. Two prominent sources do exist for Urban's Pontificate: Eusebius' History of The Early Church and also an inscription, in the Coemeterium Callisti, which names the Pope.

Urban ascended to The Chair of Saint Peter in the year of The Roman Emperor Elagabalus' assassination and served during the Reign of Alexander Severus. It is believed that Urban's Pontificate was during a peaceful time for Christians in The Empire, as Severus did not promote the persecution of Christianity.

Urban is a Canonised Saint of The Roman Catholic Church and The Eastern Orthodox Church.

Born at Soana, Tuscany, Italy, Hildebrand became a Monk in the famous Benedictine Monastery of Cluny, on which, at the time, depended two thousand Monasteries. He soon became Prior, and was later Elected Abbot of the Monastery of Saint Paul-Without-the-Walls, Rome, and made a Cardinal of The Roman Church.

At the death of Pope Alexander II, in 1073, he was Elected Pope and took the name of Gregory VII. Thus, entrusted with the government of The House of God (Gospel, Communion), he participated in the full Priesthood of Jesus (Introit, Epistle).

At a time when the Bishops, mostly Simoniacal, were the dependents of Lay Princes, he strove with such constancy to defend the liberty of The Church (Collect) that, as we are assured, no Pontiff, since the time of The Apostles, undertook more labours for her (The Church) or fought more courageously for her independence.

While he was saying Mass, a Dove was seen to come down on him: The Holy Ghost thereby bore witness of the Supernatural views that guided him in the government of The Church. Forced to leave Rome, he died at Salerno in 1085, saying those words, the first of which are from Psalm XLIV: "I have loved justice and hated iniquity: That is why I die in exile."

Following the example of Saint Gregory, let us overcome with courage all adversities (Collect).

" A Licence To Kill ? " Vote " NO " To Abortion On Demand In The Referendum On 25 May.

Main Text and Illustration: LIFE INSTITUTE

"Save The 8th"

Erects First Posters Of Campaign.

4,000 copies of “1 in 5” poster going up nationwide

in first phase of poster campaign

"Save The 8th", the campaign against

the repeal of The 8th Amendment, has begun.

The first in a series of nationwide poster campaigns ahead of the referendum on 25 May 2018.

With the polling order signed on Wednesday night

(4 April 2018), it became legal to erect campaign posters from 5 April 2018.

Save The 8th’s first poster reads:

“In England, 1 in 5 babies are aborted.

Don’t bring this to Ireland. Vote No”.

4,000 of these posters will be erected nationwide,

with further posters to follow.

Commenting, Save The 8th’s Niamh UiBhriain said:

“In 1967, the British Abortion Act promised a restrictive regime of abortion, just like the Irish Government is proposing today. In England, this restrictive regime sees virtually no abortion refused, and one in five pregnancies ending with an abortion.

"In 2010, Leo Varadkar warned that any attempt

to introduce a restrictive abortion law would 

end with abortion on demand. Today, he is trying

to take the Country down the very path he warned against very recently.

"Our poster campaign seeks to raise awareness

of what happens when abortion is legalised. It gives politicians a licence to kill. We hope that Irish voters will not copy England’s mistake”.

"Abortion Is The Greatest Evil

The World Has Ever Seen".
