(Roman Missal, Preface of Christian Death) Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 22, 2017 This Weekend we celebrate the Feast Day of our Parish Patron, St. Vincent of Saragossa. Vincent spent most of his life in the city of Saragossa, where he was educated and ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Valeriua, who commissioned him to preach throughout the diocese. Because Valerius suffered from a speech impediment, Vincent acted as his spokesman When the Roman Emperor Diocletian began persecuting Christians in Spain, both were brought before the Roman governor, Dacian in Valencia. Vincent and his bishop Valerius were confined to the prison of Valencia. Though he was finally offered release if he would consign Scripture to the fire, Vincent refused. Speaking on behalf of his bishop, he informed the judge that they were ready to suffer everything for their faith, and that they could pay no heed either to threats or promises. His outspoken manner so angered the governor that Vincent was inflicted every sort of torture on him. Finally he was cast into prison and laid on a floor scattered with broken pottery, where he died. During his martyrdom he preserved such peace and tranquility that it astonished his jailer, who repented from his sins and was converted. Vincent declared that God sent the angels of heaven to comfort him. His cell, he said, was illuminated with a heavenly light, and might have been filled with roses, so sweet was its fragrance. Vincent's dead body was thrown into the sea in a sack, but was later recovered by the Christians and his veneration immediately spread throughout the Church. He is honored as the patron in Valencia, Saragossa, Portugal and is the patron of bakers, roof-makers, vinedressers, vintners, and roofers. His feast day is January 22.
