Not only was today the memorial day of the second-century Holy Father Saint Soterius (twelfth of the successors of Saint Peter), alongside the third-century Holy Father Caius (twenty-eighth of the popes), both reputed to be martyrs in some histories, but tomorrow we honour the patron Saint of England, Saint George, also a martyr. And on Friday, we honour Saint Adalbert, tenth-century bishop of Prague and apostle to the Prussians, Hungarians and Poles (transferred from Thursday, to make way for Saint George). And on Saturday, we honour the great lion, Saint Mark, associate of the Apostles and one of the four Evangelists, who was most brutally killed in Alexandria, as her first bishop.
Yes, I think we'll stay red until Sunday.
Pray for me father.
