Saint of the Day

Sts. Sergius & Bacchus (3rd century)
Sergius and Bacchus were officers in the Roman army. When they refused the Emperor's order to enter the Temple of Jupiter and sacrifice to the pagan gods, they were dragged through the streets, scourged, tortured, and beheaded.

Reflections from the Saints

If we have obtained the grace of God, none shall prevail against us, but we shall be stronger than all who oppose us.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2438

Various causes of a religious, political, economic, and financial nature today give "the social question a worldwide dimension." There must be solidarity among nations which are already politically interdependent. It is even more essential when it is a question of dismantling the "perverse mechanisms" that impede the development of the less advanced countries. In place of abusive if not usurious financial systems, iniquitous commercial relations among nations, and the arms race, there must be substituted a common effort to mobilize resources toward objectives of moral, cultural, and economic development, "redefining the priorities and hierarchies of values."
