"The best, the surest , and the most effective way of establishing everlasting peace on the face of the earth is through the great power of perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament." -- Pope John Paul II

St. Cassian of Tangier

Today is the feast of St. Cassian of Tangier.

In 298 A. D., a celebration of Emperor Maximian’s birthday took place in the ancient Phoenician city Tingis (known today as Tangiers, Morocco),. When the Christian centurion Marcellus refused to sacrifice to the gods because he felt it was idolatrous, he was arrested and thrown in prison. Marcellus pleaded guilty to dishonoring his allegiance to the Emperor, and was sentenced to death.

According to legend, Cassian was the court reporter at the trial. He became so upset at the sentence that he refused to report the proceedings. Cassian was also arrested, tried under the same charges as Maecellus, and was martyred

St. Cassian is the patron of stenographers.

Today is also the feast of St. Francis Xavier, great disciple to the eastern nations.
