Saint Peter Chrysologus

Today we remember the memorial of Saint Peter Chrysologus who was born about the year 380 in Imola, Emilia, and there entered the priesthood. He was elected bishop of Ravenna in 424 and instructed his flock by his learned sermons and writings. He died around the year 450 (Magnificat, 405). As part of the opening prayer states: "The Father made Peter Chrysologus an outstanding preacher of your incarnate Word. May the prayers of Saint Peter help us to cherish the mystery of our salvation and make its meaning clear in our love for others." We preach, not only with words, but with our very lives. The love and service that we show to others truly speaks volumes. May Saint Peter intercede for us and help us to always be effective preachers in our present day. God Bless!!!
