Prayers, Quips and Quotes; St Gabinus, Feast Day Feb. 19

St. Gabinus was born into a noble family in Rome.   His brother St. Caius became the 29th Bishop of Rome, serving as Pope for 12 years.

St. Gabinus was a priest and the father of St. Susanna whose original feast day was celebrated on August 11. Due to lack of information the feast day was removed.   Her story is considered a legend, however her death is recorded in Roman Martyrology.  She is believed to have been beheaded in her father’s house in the year 295 after refusing to marry  Maximilian, the son in law of the pagan Emperor Diocletian.  She was believed to have converted the court officers sent to convince her to marry, however, she had taken a vow of virginity.

One year later St. Gabinus was also beheaded, making him a martyr, in the year 296.    He is believed to have been a missionary priest. His feast day is celebrated on Feb. 19.   The Basilica San Gavino was built to honor him and local martyrs in Porte Torres, Italy.

” The tree of the cross bears fruit in every season ad i every land.”

Quote of St. Teresa Corderc
