33rd Week in Ordinary Time

“Arise, soldiers of Christ,

throw away the works of darkness

and put on the armour of light.” - St Cecilia

St. Cecelia was born in Rome to an esteemed family late in the first century. She lived a life of prayer. She was given in marriage to a young pagan named Valerian. Cecelia shared her promise of celibacy and consecration to God with her husband. During the wedding, it is said that she sat apart, singing to God in her heart with thanksgiving.

Valerian converted to Christianity and he honored her desire to remain a virgin. He helped Cecilia in her charity toward the poor. Because of this, he was arrested and put to death. (https://catholicfaithpatronsaints.com/
