    APPENDIX 1: TRANSLATION OF THE VITA BARBATIANI This translation is based predominantly on the 1909 edition of Lanzoni; however, a few alternative readings from the manuscripts have been used and sections have been renumbered. Here begin the deeds of St. Barbatianus, the Presbyter and Confessor 1 1. I think it only proper, as I embark upon this story of miracles, fi rst to explain in which localities of the imperial cities the wonderful struggle of the saints took place. That way, the miracles which occupy the beginning of the narrative might inspire faith in what will be related subsequently, because a great people and a great and mighty city proclaim that they truly happened. Now, when Zosimus, Pope of the city of Rome, had by God’s will ceased to hold the episcopate [upon his death], there was confl ict among the clergy over the apostolic see, and they chose two bishops, one named Boniface and the other Eulalius. 2 They ordained Boniface in the basilica of Constantine. The empress Galla Placidia with her son, the emperor Valentinian, hearing this while they were staying in Ravenna, brought the news to the emperor Honorius who had remained in Milan. The two emperors sent a warrant ordering that both men should leave the city, so that both (popes) left the city of Rome. After they had been expelled, the holy day of Easter approached.

  • Possible Dates of the Miracle
    Possible Dates of the Miracle I realise the following subject matter is not as important as changing our lives and improving our faith, however I have included it mainly for interest. Many people have heard that Our Lady has promised to perform a miracle at the pines in Garabandal and also on Apparition Hill at Medjugorje. There is some speculation that both will occur at the same time. Only at Garabandal did She give any idea when the Miracle at the Pines would occur. There are 2 variations on the day being reported. Firstly St Michael's Garabandal Center reports that it is on a Thursday between (and including) 8th to 16th April. Secondly, Joey Lomangino's Garabandal Website and the Australian Garabandal Website are both mentioning March, April and May. It will be on the feast of a Eucharistic Martyr and will coincide with an important event in the church. This event has not occurred in Conchita's lifetime and so is not Holy Thursday as some people have claimed. Some sources have also mentioned that the martyr is "little known" and hence martyrs which don't have much available detail have been flagged in this list as possibilities. The important event has occurred before but not since Conchita was born. Given this information, we can at least start looking into what Martyrs have feasts in this range of dates. The feast days have been obtained from the list of feast days at Catholic Online and there are some in the list which may not be Eucharistic Martyrs. Over the next few months, this list will be reduced as further research is done.

  • Saints of St. Mary's
    Saints of St. Mary’s Introducing the Saints of The Church of Saint Mary Prepared for Generations of Faith 2005 St. Maria Goretti Patron of youth, young women, purity, and victims of rape Feast Day is July 6 b: 1890 d: 1902 Born in Corinaldo, Ancona, Italy, on October 16 1890; her farm worker father moved his family to Ferrier di Conca, near Anzio. Her father died of malaria and her mother had to struggle to feed her children. In 1902 an eighteen-year-old neighbor, Alexander, grabbed her from her steps and tried to rape her. When Maria said that she would rather die than submit, Alexander began stabbing her with a knife. As she lay in the hospital, she forgave Alexander before she died. Her death didn't end her forgiveness, however. Alexander was captured and sentenced to thirty years. He was unrepentant until he had a dream that he was in a garden. Maria was there and gave him flowers. When he woke, he was a changed man, repenting of his crime and living a reformed life. When he was released after 27 years he went directly to Maria's mother to beg her forgiveness, which she gave. "If my daughter can forgive him, who am I to withhold forgiveness," she said. When Maria was declared a saint in 1950, Alexander was there in the St. Peter's crowd to celebrate her canonization. She was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1950 for her purity as model for youth. She is called a martyr because she fought against Alexander's attempts at sexual assault.

    Issue 15: St. Augustine of Hippo St. Augustine: From the Publisher Agree or disagree, now or after reading this issue: After Jesus and Paul, Augustine of Hippo is the most influential figure in the history of Christianity… 1987 marks the 1,600th anniversary of Augustine’s conversion to Christ and baptism. The anniversary is noteworthy not only because of Augustine’s influence on Christendom, for his pivotal role in history extends well beyond the ecclesiastical; it is noteworthy because he is one of the central pillars on which our entire Western civilization is built. Time magazine acknowledged this in its September 29 issue of 1986, when it devoted a full page to a summary of and commentary on Augustine’s life and influence. Time observed that Augustine, in each of the 16 centuries since his conversion, has continued to exert a “major intellectual, spiritual and cultural force.” Here at Christian History we have probably had more requests from readers for an issue exclusively devoted to Augustine than for anyone else. We thought this anniversary year was a perfectly appropriate time to present one.

And none, apart from the biblical writers and characters, did more to help us understand the supreme joy of life in God’s grace than the man from North Africa treated in these pages. He lived at a time when the waves of barbarians surging into the Roman empire must have created public anxiety similar to that experienced today because of the threat of nuclear holocaust.
