I’m currently doing some reading in Legenda Aurea, the Dominican Jacobus de Voragine’s great compendium of saints’ legends and other liturgical feasts, designed to be a reference book for homilists.
Jacobus compiled these stories in the 1260s and relied on a wide range of Christian authors, often citing contradicting views on certain matters as a summary of the views held by previous authors. Legenda Aurea is first and foremost a conservative compilation, since it contains only five saints from Jacobus’ own time or the preceding century. FIACC: Hymn on the Life of St. Patrick.

Celtic and Old English Saints - 2 May. Saint Germanus of Normandy. St Germanus the Bishop of Auxerre - Orthodox Church in America. Saint Germanus was born at Auxerre around 389, and studied rhetoric and law at Rome.
There he practiced as a lawyer. The emperor Honorius sent him back to Gaul as a provincial governor, with his headquarters at Auxerre. He also married about this time. In 418 he was chosen to succeed St Amator (May 1) as Bishop of Auxerre. From that time on, his faith became deeper, and his prayer more fervent. Pope Celestine I sent him to Britain in 429 with St Lupus of Troyes (July 29) to fight the Pelagian heresy, where they defeated the teachers of this false doctrine. When savage barbarians threatened the city of Armorica (now Brittany), St Germanus met their leader, seized his horse’s bridle, and turned him around. Internet History Sourcebooks.

Albert the Great was considered the “wonder and the miracle of his age” by his contemporaries. He was an assiduous Dominican whose accomplishments and gifts to the Church would be difficult to exaggerate.

Not withstanding the standards of his own time, he became a pioneer of the natural sciences –- both empirical and philosophical. His teachings on nature and theology were revolutionary, and he captured the attention of a young and taciturn Dominican –- St. After joining the Dominicans, Albert went to Paris in 1245 and successfully received his doctorate.

Catholic Audiobook: Seek Ye First the Kingdom The Life of St. Celestine V. Click to Download the AudioBook: The Life of St Celestine V Pope St Celestine V was the last pope before Pope Benedict XVI to retire because of health and old age.
Most people do not know though that he was a miracle worker and a major spiritual leader before being elected Pope. Why St Celestine V Pope Benedict XVI on February 10, 2013 made the announcement that he would retire from the Papacy due to declining health. Many people will make themselves miserable trying to see the angles, politics and cunning behind such an unusual move made by the Vicar of Christ. Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
