A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
SAINT sARos THE GOTH.

Sabos was of Gothic birth and a
Christian from his youth. He was
poor in the worlds goods, but rich in
virtue, and he proved his fidelity
there several times, under the perse-
cution of Athanaric, a prince of the
Goths. On the first of these occasions
he induced many Christians to con-
fess the faith openly, instead of pre-
tending to eat things offered to idols,
and thus outwitting the prosecutors.
On another, when the inhabitants of
ia village where he was swore they
had no Christian among them, he
said, Let no man swear for me;
am a Christian" The prosecutors
spared his life, but the third time God
Himself invited him to martyrdom.
In 372 when he was thirty-eight
years of age, he was going to cele-
brate the Easter feast at distance,
when an apparition on the way babe
him return and keep the festival at
home. He obeyed, and one night,
little after Easter, he was taken by
the officers of the heather prince.
He was dragged naked over thorns,
and after many other torments SEN
fenced to die by drowning in a
tributary of the Danube. He stood
on the riyer-bank with the guards, and
they were inclined to let him go; but
which He had called him. Make
haste" said the Saint; Il see what
you cannot sea band waiting for
me on the other shore ready to receive
me into glory
z The blood of the martyrs was the
seed of the Church, because in the
early ages the Christians studied the
lives of the martyrs, celebrated them
selves by their example to like
fidelity. The great Saint Basil be-
sought friend of his to send him
relics of the Gothic martyrs. His
wish was gratified. He received the
relics of Saint Sabos for his own
church in Cappadocia, and at the same
time the Catholics there received a
letter from their brethren among the
Goths, inviting them to rejoice in the
new glory of the Church, and cele-
brate Mass on the feast of Saint
Sabos Saint Basil received the
relics with unspeakable joy, thanking
God Who waters the Church with the
blood of martyrs, and encourages
those who remain by the example of
those who have gone before.
