Today, January 22, we celebrate the MEMORIAL OF ST. VINCENT OF ZARAGOSSA (+304), a deacon and proto-martyr of Spain. He endured tortures that went beyond all human expectations during the persecutions of Christians by Diocletian and Maximian, until he was finally given birth to eternal life on January 22, 304. His famous words to Dacian, governor of Spain was recorded in the Acts of the Martyrs: The more I witness your fury, Dacian, the greater is my pleasure. Do not lessen in any way the sufferings you prepare for me so that I can make my victory shine more resplendently. May we learn to imitate the courageous faith of St. Vincent in the face of all sufferings of life. He is also the patron of wine-producers. #BethelSolitude #Christisimus #DiscoveringOurSaints
