Saint of the Day – 21 February – St Peter Mavimenus (Died c737) Martyr and probably the Bishop of Damascus.

The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Damascus, St Peter Mavinemus, who was killed by some Arabs who visited him in his sickness because he said to them “Whoever does not embrace the Christian and Catholic Faith is lost, like your false prophet, Mahomet.”

Peter was Martyred in Damascus (in modern Syria) by the Muslims who, visiting him when he was on a sickbed, had openly said to them :

“Whoever does not embrace the Christian and Catholic Faith is lost, like your false prophet, Mahomet.”

All Christians are Saints. The Catholic Church doesn’t get to pick and choose.

Silly comment. The Church is only telling us after investigation that these few made it for sure.

Everybody thinks they are going to heaven. Presumptuous. Joe Biden thinks so. Is he in your company, supporting abortion? How many “saved” are in prison, or did they not truly mean it as you did?

Holy fear and trembling when I mean the Divine Mercy judge. I am a sinner no better.

How about next time something is posted that is positive about your sect we jump down YOUR throat?!

Read before posting. Know what you are talking about first.
