Renowned as the major burial place of the French monarchy, it owes Week of October 7 its establishment and subsequent prestige to the presence of the relics of St. Denis, first Bishop of Parish, martyred during the third century. The legend surrounding Monday the saint’s life is complex, as three historical figures appear to have been conflated Galatians 1:6-12 into one legendary figure. He is portrayed as Dionysius, the evangelizer of Gaul; Ps 111:1-2, 7-8, 9, 10 , a disciple of Paul; and later as Pseudo-Dionysius the Ar- Luke 10:25-37 eopagite, the author of mystical works. Who was the real St. Denis? Historians have Tuesday not reached a consensus, partly because the stories are too good not to be told. The Galatians 1:13-24 favorite of the French is the beheading of Bishop Denis on the hill of Montmartre, Ps 139:1-3, 13-14, 14-15 along with his companions, the presbyter, Eluetherius, and the deacon, Rusticus. Luke 10:38-42 He did not lose his head, however, for he picked it up and walked two miles; his lips chanting the psalms, until he reached his chosen burial spot. There his relics have remained ever since.

Raised in a large family of sharecroppers, young Angelo quickly Ps 111:1-2, 3-4, 5-6 developed a hunger for justice and human rights. While studying at the Pontifical Luke 11:15-26 Roman Seminary, Roncalli’s mind was opened to the world of great books and Saturday culture. He was ordained on August 10, 1904, and appointed secretary to Bishop Galatians 3:22-29 Giacomo Tedeschi of Bergamo. After serving in World War I as a stretcher-bearer, he was later Ps 105:2-3, 4-5, 6-7 made national director of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. In 1925 he became a papal Luke 11:27-28 diplomat, serving in Belgium, Turkey, and in France.
