16 January – Saint Berard of Carbio and Companions, Protomartyrs of the Franciscan Order
Optional Memorial (Ordinary Time)

The first five Franciscans to shed their blood for Christ.
Sent by St. Francis himself in 1219 to preach in Muslim Spain and Morocco — young, fiery, knowing no Arabic, but burning with zeal. Captured in Seville, beaten, exiled, then sneaked into Morocco anyway.

Preached openly in the marketplace until the sultan had them flogged, tortured with boiling oil and vinegar, and finally beheaded when they still refused to deny Christ or convert.

Francis heard the news and said: “Now I can truly say I have five Friars Minor.”

The youngest, Adjute, sang psalms even under torture. Their relics were brought back by the King of Portugal — one skull still preserved in the Franciscan church at Coimbra.

Patrons of missionaries to Muslim lands and of bold, joyful witness.

Green vestments. Ordinary Time continues, but martyrdom always breaks through.

When the world says “tone it down,” remember Berard and his brothers: preach anyway. Love anyway. Die singing if you must.

St. Berard and companions, first Franciscan martyrs — pray for missionaries, for converts from Islam, and for courage that costs everything.

🚨 UK Alert: Senior Labour MPs Push for Ban on Crypto Political Donations

Seven senior Labour committee chairs (including Liam Byrne, Emily Thornberry & others) have written to PM Keir Starmer urging a full ban on cryptocurrency donations to political parties — to be included in the upcoming Elections Bill.

Key concerns:
- Crypto's opacity makes tracing true sources difficult
- Risk of foreign interference (e.g., micro-donations below thresholds)
- Threat to democratic transparency & electoral integrity

This follows Reform UK becoming the first UK party to accept crypto donations (via their portal with enhanced checks), amid broader worries over foreign actors using digital assets.

Government acknowledges risks but says a ban may not make the Elections Bill due to complexity — review ongoing until March 2026.

Liam Byrne quote: “Crypto is opaque, hard to trace, vulnerable to foreign interference & a growing risk to democratic integrity. We should act NOW… This is not about opposing innovation. It is about protecting democracy.”

Impact on crypto? Potential precedent in Western politics limiting digital asset use in funding — while UK advances broader crypto regulation (stablecoins, platforms by 2026–27).

Meanwhile, market pulse:
BNB trading ~$937–$947 USD (up ~0.4–2.8% in recent 24h turns, strong ecosystem utility amid Binance developments)
ETH consolidating ~$3,328–$3,376 USD (up ~1.3% recently, holding bullish signals with RSI/MACD support)
Potential regulatory chill in UK politics vs. ongoing innovation — could it pressure altcoin sentiment or accelerate compliant adoption? Legitimate democracy safeguard or overreach stifling innovation?

15 January – Saint Paul the First Hermit
Optional Memorial (Ordinary Time)

The original desert dweller.
Fled to the Egyptian wilderness around 250 to escape Decius' persecution — hid in a cave, wore palm leaves, ate bread brought daily by a raven. Lived alone for nearly 90 years until St. Anthony the Great (at age 90 himself) was led by God to find him at 113.

Paul greeted Anthony: “Welcome, brother, to the house of a sinner.”
They talked all night about God. The raven brought a whole loaf that day — double portion for two hermits. When Paul died peacefully shortly after, lions came out of the desert to dig his grave.

Patron of weavers (palm-leaf clothes) and those seeking solitude. First monk in the Church's eyes — the one who started it all before communities even existed.

Green vestments. Ordinary Time settles in, but the desert still calls.

In a world that never shuts up, Paul teaches: sometimes the holiest thing is to disappear with God.

St. Paul the First Hermit, pray for contemplatives, the persecuted, and everyone who needs a raven with bread.

14 January – Saint Felix of Nola, Priest & Confessor
Optional Memorial

Third-century Italy under Decius and Valerian: persecution raging. Felix, a priest, gave everything to the poor after his father's death — land, money, freedom. Hunted for his faith, he hid in a dry well where (legend says) a spider wove a web across the opening just in time to fool the soldiers searching for him.

Tortured, escaped miraculously, then spent the rest of his life caring for the persecuted bishop Maximus until the old man died in his arms. Refused the bishopric himself — too humble — and went back to serving quietly until his own peaceful death.

St. Paulinus of Nola (who became bishop there later) wrote poems about him, turning his tomb into a pilgrimage site buzzing with miracles.

Patron of domestic animals (because angels once guided lost donkeys back to him) and against false witness, eye diseases, and perjury.

Green vestments. Ordinary Time marches on, but the early Church's quiet heroes still whisper: give it all away, hide in God when hunted, and let spiders do the rest.

When the world comes looking to cancel you for the faith, trust the web of Providence.

St. Felix of Nola, pray for the persecuted, the generous poor, and all who need a miracle in a dry well.

13 January – Saint Hilary of Poitiers, Bishop & Doctor of the Church
Memorial

Pagan philosopher turned fierce defender of the Trinity. Born around 310 into a noble family, educated in the classics, he searched for truth until the Scriptures hit him like lightning: “In the beginning was the Word…”

Baptized with his wife and daughter, elected bishop of Poitiers, then exiled for four years by an Arian emperor who couldn’t handle his hammer-blows against the heresy that denied Christ’s full divinity. In exile he wrote *De Trinitate* — twelve books that still school theologians on how Father, Son, and Spirit are one God without confusion or division.

Called the “Athanasius of the West” and “Hammer of the Arians.” First Latin hymn writer whose texts survive. Patron of lawyers (because he argued so well) and those with snake bites (legend says he tamed serpents).

Green vestments. Ordinary Time rolls on, but the fight for truth never ends.

When the world (or even emperors) pressure the Church to dilute doctrine, remember Hilary: exile is better than compromise.

“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21)
He kept the Church from the idol of a diminished Christ.

St. Hilary, pray for clear thinking, bold speech, and hearts on fire for the full truth of God.

12 January – Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, Religious
Optional Memorial (Ordinary Time begins)

She crossed the Atlantic in 1653 with nothing but faith and a call to teach the children of New France. No cloister for her — this Frenchwoman founded the Congregation of Notre Dame, the first uncloistered sisters in the Church, free to go where the poor and forgotten were.

Opened the first school in Montreal in a converted stable. Walked the wilderness to teach French settlers, Indigenous children, and anyone hungry for learning. Rescued "King's Daughters" sent as brides, built a chapel to Our Lady of Good Help, survived shipwrecks, fires, and Iroquois raids — all while refusing to take credit.

Called the "Mother of the Colony," she formed generations who built Canada on faith and education. Died in 1700 after nursing a sick sister, whispering: "It is good to suffer for others."

Patroness of educators, the poor, and those rejected by religious orders.

Green vestments today. Ordinary Time starts — but her life shows nothing ordinary about following Christ into the frontier.

In a world that still sends women and children to the margins, Marguerite reminds us: teach them. Love them. Build with them.

St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, pray for our teachers, our immigrants, and every woman who leaves comfort for mission.

11 January – The Baptism of the Lord
Feast (end of the Christmas Season)

The voice from heaven thunders: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
The Spirit descends like a dove. The waters of the Jordan tremble as the sinless One steps in — not to be cleansed, but to cleanse the waters for us.

Jesus didn’t need baptism. We did. He submits to John’s baptism of repentance to fulfill all righteousness, to identify with sinners, to sanctify the waters that will make us sons and daughters in Him.

With this feast the Christmas season closes. The hidden Child revealed at Epiphany now stands revealed as the eternal Son. Ordinary Time begins tomorrow — but nothing is ordinary after this.

White vestments. Gloria returns. The heavens tear open one last time before Lent.

Today renew your own baptismal promises. Reject Satan. Believe in the Trinity. Live as a beloved child.

The Jordan turned back when the ark passed through. How much more when the true Ark — Mary’s Son — enters the river.

Lord Jesus, baptized and beloved — make us beloved too.

10 January – Saint Gregory of Nyssa, Bishop
Optional Memorial (Christmas Season)

One of the three great Cappadocian Fathers — brother of St. Basil the Great, friend of St. Gregory Nazianzen. A reluctant bishop who fought Arianism with deep mystical theology, writing on the infinity of God, the beauty of creation, and the soul's endless journey toward the divine.

Married (his wife Theosebia is sometimes honored as a saint too), yet lived a semi-monastic life. Defended the full divinity of the Holy Spirit when many denied it. His sermons on the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer still feed souls. Influenced East and West alike — from Maximus the Confessor to modern contemplatives.

White vestments. The Christmas mystery deepens into the light of the Trinity as we remember a thinker who showed us God is not a puzzle to solve but a love to enter forever.

In a world that reduces everything to formulas, Gregory reminds us: true knowledge of God is unending wonder.

“Concepts create idols; only wonder comprehends anything.”
(attributed)

St. Gregory of Nyssa, pray for theologians, mystics, and all who seek the face of God beyond words.

9 January – Saint Adrian of Canterbury, Abbot
Optional Memorial (Christmas Season)

North African scholar who fled the Muslim invasions, ended up in Naples, then twice offered the Archbishopric of Canterbury by the Pope. He declined both times — “I’m not worthy” — but recommended his friend Theodore instead. Went anyway as abbot of St. Augustine’s monastery in Canterbury, turning it into a powerhouse of learning where Greeks and Latins taught Scripture, astronomy, poetry, and computation to Anglo-Saxon monks.

Bede called him “a man of great learning in sacred scripture and equally versed in both Greek and Latin.” Under his guidance, the English Church flowered with bishops, scholars, and missionaries who carried the Gospel back to the continent.

He never sought glory, but quietly built it for others. Died peacefully around 710, buried in his abbey.

White vestments. The Christmas light still glows as we honor a hidden abbot whose school helped evangelize Europe.

When leadership is offered and you feel too small, remember Adrian: say yes to what God actually asks, and the impact will be bigger than any title.

St. Adrian of Canterbury, pray for scholars, teachers, refugees, and all who build quietly in exile.

#Avi #Catholic #AdrianOfCanterbury #EarlyEnglishChurch #FaithAndCrypto

8 January – Saint Apollinaris the Apologist, Bishop & Martyr
Optional Memorial (Christmas Season)

Second-century bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia (modern Turkey), one of the earliest defenders of the faith. A learned man who wrote brilliant apologies against Jews and pagans, and a five-book treatise *Against the Heresies* that St. Jerome praised centuries later.

When the Montanist heresy (wild prophecies, end-times frenzy) started shaking the Church in his region, Apollinaris stood firm, refuting it with Scripture and reason. Tradition says he crowned his witness with martyrdom under Marcus Aurelius.

We know him mostly through Eusebius and Jerome — fragments survive, but his courage echoes loud. In an age when Christianity was still illegal and weird to Romans, he used intellect as a weapon for truth.

White vestments. The Christmas light still burns as we honor an early warrior who explained the Infant King to a hostile world.

When faith gets attacked with half-truths and mockery today, remember Apollinaris: answer with clarity, charity, and unflinching conviction.

St. Apollinaris, pray for apologists, theologians, and all who defend the faith in dark times.

7 January – Saint Raymond of Penyafort, Priest
Optional Memorial (Christmas Season)

The Dominican master of canon law who turned the chaos of centuries of Church decrees into order — compiling the *Decretals* for Pope Gregory IX that shaped Catholic law until 1917.

Brilliant lawyer from Catalan nobility, professor at Bologna, joined the Dominicans at 47. Preached to Moors and Jews with such success that 10,000 reportedly converted. Helped found the Mercedarians for ransoming Christian captives. Master General of the Order who resigned to get back to preaching and hearing confessions.

Legend says when King James I of Aragon ignored his warnings about a sinful relationship on Majorca, Raymond spread his cloak on the sea and sailed 160 miles back to Barcelona in six hours — miracle cloak beating any royal ship.

Lived to 100, dying on 6 January 1275. Patron of canon lawyers, medical record librarians, and anyone who needs order in chaos.

White vestments. Christmas light still shines as we remember a man who used intellect and penance to free souls.

In a world drowning in bad laws, give us saints who sail on grace.

St. Raymond of Penyafort, pray for lawyers, confessors, and all who fight for truth with charity.

6 January – Epiphany Weekday (Christmas Season)
Optional memorial of Saint André Bessette, Religious (Brother André of Montreal)

The “miracle man of Mount Royal.” An illiterate orphan, doorkeeper for the Holy Cross congregation, who welcomed the sick, the broken, the desperate — and through his prayers to St. Joseph, thousands were healed. Built the world’s largest shrine to St. Joseph with nickels from the poor.

He said: “I am ignorant. If there were anyone more ignorant, the good God would choose him in my place.”

Spent his life rubbing oil from St. Joseph’s lamp on the suffering, telling them: “Go to Joseph.” Never took credit — always pointed to the foster father of Jesus.

Canonized in 2010 by Benedict XVI before the largest crowd ever in Canada. Patron of caregivers, the rejected, those who feel useless.

Christmas season lingers. White vestments. The light that dawned in Bethlehem still shines on the humble.

In a world that values credentials over compassion, Brother André reminds us: God chooses the weak to shame the strong.

St. André Bessette, pray for the sick, for Canada, and for every doorkeeper who quietly lets Jesus in.

5 January 2026 – Saint John Neumann, Bishop
Memorial (in the United States)

The little bishop who walked America into the faith.

Born in Bohemia, he begged to be ordained but Europe had too many priests. So he sailed to the New World with nothing but a suitcase and a dream. Ordained in New York, he tramped thousands of miles on foot through forests and frontier towns, saying Mass in barns, taverns, wherever immigrants gathered.

Joined the Redemptorists — became their first American novice. At 41, made Bishop of Philadelphia: a diocese bigger than some countries, with barely any schools or churches. In eight years he built nearly 100 churches, started the diocesan school system (first in the U.S.), and personally confirmed over 50,000 people.

Only 5'2", but giants walked in his shadow. Died suddenly at 48, collapsing on a snowy street while out doing errands for the poor.

Patron of Catholic education and immigrants. In an age when many look down on the newcomer, John Neumann reminds us: the Church in America was built by tired feet, foreign accents, and unbreakable trust in Providence.

White vestments. Christmas season still glows.

“Everyone who breathes… has a mission, has a work. We are not sent into this world for nothing.”
– St. John Neumann

St. John Neumann, pray for our immigrants, our schools, and for shepherds who spend themselves without counting the cost.

Simon and Jude, Apostles, celebrated on October 28! These lesser-known dynamos spread Christ’s word across Persia and beyond, facing fierce persecution.

This 2nd-century legend, leading Jerusalem’s church around 180 AD, turned a crisis into a miracle—when oil ran dry for Easter lamps, he prayed, and water turned to oil, lighting the faithful’s path. Exiled for his holiness, he returned at 116 to serve till 215, outlasting Roman storms.

Patron of the needy, his life mirrors market resilience—flowing through scarcity like a liquidity pump.
