ST. THEODORE T1RO1 MARIlh'
St Theodore was born of noble family
in the East, and enrolled while etill youth
in the imperial army. Early in 3O6 the
emperor put forth an edict requiring ell
Christians to offer sacrifice, and Theodore
had Just Joined the leg ion and marched
with them into Pontus, when be had to
choose between apostacy and death. he
declared before his commander that he
was ready to be cut in pieces, and offer up
every limb to his Creator who had died
for him. Wishing to conquer him by
gentleness, the commander left him III
peace for q while that he might think over
his resolution but Theodore used his
freedom to eet on fire the great temple of
Isis, and made TO secret of this act Still
his Judge entreated him to Tenounce his
faith aud save bis life but Theodore made
the sign of the cross, and answered: "As
long as / have breath l will confess the

Judge bade him thiuk of the shame to
which Christ had brought him. "Ihis
shame" Theodore answered, 81 ana all
who invoke II name take With joy" AT

enly voices Joined with his in the praises
of Christ. He was condemned to be burnt.
AS the flame rose, Christian saw his soul

An officer questioned Theodore about

ST. CHARLES BORROMEO.

Il.
About fifty years after the Protestant
beresy had broken out, the providence of
Cod rsjeed up a mere youth to renew the
Sacs of His Church. In 1860 Charles Bor
romeo. then twenty-five years of age, was
sraated cardinal, and by the side of his
uncle. Plus Nv j., administered the affairs of
tbe HOLY See. His fret care was the di
raction of the Conpcil of Trent. He urged
forwa1d its eessiens, guided it's oelibera-
t;ons by continual correspondence from
Rome. and by his frmness carried it to its
conclusion. Then he entered upon still
more arduops work-the execution of its
DEGREES. AS Archbishop of Milap, he
|enforced their observance, and thoroughly
RESTORED the discipline of his see. He
founded schools for the poor, seminaries
|for the clerics, and by his community Of
|Oblates trained bis priests to perfection.
Ibis reform was violently opposed by the
government of Spain, and by the relaxed
priests and religious under his charge !;
yet he never yielded nor failed in his task.
Infexible in maintaining discipline, to hls
lock he was most tender father. He
would sit by the roadside to teach poor
Imam the Pater aud Ace, and would enter
novels, the steuch of which drove bis
attendants from the door. During the
great plague he refused to leave Milan,
land was ever by the sick and dying, and
Lived, and so he died, faithful image of
the Good Shepherd, up to his last hour
giving his life for his sheep.
A monk of the Order of the "Umilati,"
which St. Charles was vigorously reform
Ing, determined to destroy him. One
evening, when the Saint was kneeling
with his household at night. prayers, the
murderer clipped in disguised, and; as the
choir were singing the words, Let not
your heart be trouhted; fred at the Saint.
St. Charles fell forward on bis face, and
the household eprang to their feet; but
the Saint, lifting himself up, bade them
kneel down, and with perfect ccmposure
completed the prayer. He had felt the
ball, and deemipg himself mortally wound
ed bad commended his soul to God. On
|examin alton, it was found that the ball
had not even pierced his rochet, but had
left black mark on the flesh which con
|tinued till his death.

ST. PLACID, MARTYR


st. Placid was one of the first and most
beloved disciples of St. Benedict, to whom
he was related by blood. He was born in
Rome, in the year SIS, of @ patrician fami-
ly, and at seven years of age was taken by
his father to the monastery of Subiaca. He
was present with st. Benedict when the
latter caused the miraculous appearance of
spring of water by his prayers; he was
still child when st. Maurus walked upon
the water to save him from drowning in
the lake; and at thirteen years of age he
followed his sanity abbot to the new
foundation at Monte Casino, where he
grew up in the practice of a wonderful
Rusterity and innocence of life. He had
scarcely completed his twenty first year
when he was selected to establish mon
Rstery in Sicily upon some estates which
had been given by his father to ST. Benedict
So great had his reputation already become
that his journey to Messina was a success
siea of miraculous cures of PeEseas " he
had been attracted by his name. He spent
four years in building his monastery, and
the fifth had not elapsed before an inroad
Of barbarians burned everything to the
ground, and put to lingering death, not
only st. Placid ard thirty monks who had
oined him, but also his two brothers,
Eutychius and Victorinus, and his holy
sister Flavia, who had come to visit him.
The monastery was rebuilt, and etili stands
under his invocation.
Manucha, the pirate captain, when he
had destroyed the monastery of St. Placid,
ordered the monks to be brought before
him every day, nGd subjected them to all
kinds of torment. When be saw that the
Saint was joyful in spite of his sufferipge,
and ceased not to praise God, he COM
manded many blows to be given him on
the mouth with a stone ; then when he did
not even 80 prevail, he caueed bis tongue
to be cut out. But Placid only spoke the
louder, giving thanks to the Lord for that
which he suffered for His cake.

call. Once when he wac carrying the
V'aticum, and storm had extinguished
the light, heavenly light encircled him,
guided his steps and sheltered him from

we're unrelieved by God or man. In bis
last illness he laid upon the hard boards,
praying for good death, and assaulted by
demons tempting him 10 despair. At last,
on November ION. 1908, after a final
conflict with the Evil Ono, he died in
peace
On the last day of his life St. Andrew
rose, in spite of his sutfsrings, To say Mass.
He was in his eighty ninth year, and SO
weak that be could scarcely reach the
altar. yet none liked to til wart the purpose
of the holy old man. He began the
"Judica," and fell forward in fit of
apoplexy. Laid on a straw mattress, he
foamed at the mouth, and his whole frame
was coDVuised in agony, while the fend in
visible form advanced to seiz9 his sOul.
Then, his brethren prayed and wept,

ST. PAMBo, HERMIT.

Pambo chose from his youth the austere
fe of solitary in the desert. Full of
the fear of God, he was never seen to smile
or to lose his recollection; he never spoke
without pray and when consulted upon
| any spiritual matter, he humbly replied
that he did not know what to say, and
then he took time to pray and to reflect.
He sometimes waited three montbs before
giving an answer, until God taught him
what he should s&y. The brethren in
consequence received his words as If they
came from God. When a solitary asked
f it was not good to praise others, he an
|Bwered "1t is still better to be silent"
For three years Pambo prayed that God
would not glOrify him on earth; but this
prayer was not heard, for his face often
appeared SO majestic aud brilliant as to
dazzle thoee who looked upon it. St.
AthanAsius sent for him to testify in Alex
andris to the divinity OF Jesus Christ, end
Received him with great honor. With
other solitaries Pambo was banished by
the Arians to pagan island, where they
converted all the inhabitants. At his
death he said be had always lived by his
own labor, and had never said a word he
had repented of, but yet he seemed not to
have begun to serve God. He expired in
peace about 307.
Pambo left the world 30 young he
had not learnt to read. He asked a soli-
tary to teach him some psalms by heart.
His first lesson was the words: "I said
will take heed to my ways, that / sin not
With my tongue" He was so struck by
this that he said it was enough, and he
would come back for another lesson when
ne knew it. He did not return, and six
months afterwards the solitary met him
and asked him why he did not come. He
said he had not yet learnt his fret lesson.
IN after life he told a friend it had taken
nlm nineteen years to master it.
