Interim Saints - March 30th
SECUNDUS, martyr (A.D. 119)
Secundus of Aste, count of the palace, was instructed in the faith by
S. Calocerus, then a prisoner at Aste, and baptized by SS. Faustinus
and Jovitta, at Milan . . . He was placed on the rack, and then sent to
Aste, where he suffered execution with the sword . . .
QUIRINIUS THE TRIBUNE, martyr (A.D. 130)
Quirinius the Tribune was converted and baptized by pope S. Alexander
I, and was condemned to have his tongue, hands and feet cut off . . .
afterwards he was drawn by oxen to the place of final execution, where
his head was struck off.
REGULUS, bishop of Arles and Senlis (4th cent)
S. Regulus was a native of Argos. Hearing of the miracles wrought at
Ephesus by the Beloved Disciple, S. John the Divine, he went thither,
and was converted by him . . .
He is said to have died in 130, during the reign of Hadrian, after
having laboured forty years in different missions. So far the
legendary life, which is destitute of respect as history. In all
probability two saints have been run into one, a S. Regulus of Arles,
the successor of S. Trophimus, and a S. Regulus of Senlis, who lived in
the end of the third century, and died in the early part of the fourth
. . .
JOHN CLIMACUS, abbot (A.D. 606)
S. John, abbot of Mount Sinai, is commonly called Climacus, from a book
written by him, entitled, "Climax, or the Ladder of Perfection".
