St. Emydius—August 13

Saint Emygdius (d.c. 309 AD) was made a bishop by Pope Marcellus I and sent to . On his way to Ascoli, Emydgius converted many and performed a miracle where he made water gush out of a mountain after striking a cliff. Polymius, the local governor, attempted to convince Emygdius to worship and Angaria. Polymius also offered him the hand of his daughter Polisia. Instead Emygdius bap- tized her as a Christian in the waters of the Tronto.

Enraged, Polymius decapitated him on the spot now occupied by the Sant’Emidio Red Temple, as well as his followers Eupolus (Euplus) and Germanus, and Valentius (Valentinus).

In 1703, a violent earthquake occurred in the Marche but did not affect the city of Ascoli Piceno. The city’s salvation was attributed to Emygdius. Following the earthquake, he has been invoked against earthquakes.

August 13 is an Obligatory Memorial in the Diocese of Orange.

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – August 15

In the light of the Assumption of Mary, it is easy to pray her Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55) with new meaning. In her glory she proclaims the greatness of the Lord and finds joy in God her savior. God has done marvels to her and she leads others to recognize God’s holiness. She is the lowly handmaid who deeply reverenced her God and has been raised to the heights. From her position of strength she will help the lowly and the poor find justice on earth, and she will challenge the rich and powerful to distrust wealth and power as a source of happiness.
