Pope Saint Lucius I

It is quite late.

Pope Lucius died on March 5, 254.

Saint Cornelius might be on this story.

Something that I have learned or least came to my curiosity is that we celebrate or commemorate the memory of the death date, starting from our Lord Jesus. Yes, we also celebrate His birthday. But for several of the Saints, if not all, we commemorate the day on which they were either killed or the day the day they passed away for natural causes. Of course, this won’t apply to the Archangels. What about Saint Elijah?

In any case, the memorial date caught my attention, one day while preparing food for the day, and listening to a part of a podcast about Saint Polycarp. It was probably a podcast from the Augustinian Institute, but I am not sure. One of the speaker was saying that since the Apostles father we commemorate the memorials. Before Christ, probably?, it was commemorated the birth day? Not factual information here. I do not have time to look into that further, but a bit of details to think further why we only remember the date on which the Saints passed away. Probably, a low hanging fruit is because on that date they, likely, were received into heaven.

Well, Pope Lucius, I will try to learn a bit about you and your time. But I cannot not learn too much in depth.

Day 1. Feb 24. Without knowing too much about you, yet, Pope Lucius I. Thank you for carrying our faith in likely times that were harder to do it. Guide one time, vocation, focus, attention, service to the Lord. Please Lord send us the Holy Spirit upon us to do Your Will. Folks talk about perfection. What is that? If I might provide some direction on this. Please guide me to keep going under pressure. Do not release that load and pressure my Lord. It is usually good. But give me strength, focus, energy, attention, intelligence, and overall wisdom to carry the loads and perform duties. Help me to be attentive to the community, surroundings, and love, and give my best self. Saint Lucius, I and all the angels help me or teach me on the way.
