SUMMARY:Saint Fabian
DESCRIPTION:Saint Fabian\nSaint of the Day for January 19\n(c. 200 – January 20\, 250)\nClick to hear audio clip ►\nSaint Fabian’s Story\nFabian was a Roman layman who came into the city from his farm one day as clergy and people were preparing to elect a new pope. Eusebius\, a Church historian\, says a dove flew in and settled on the head of Fabian. This sign united the votes of clergy and laity\, and he was chosen unanimously. \nHe led the Church for 14 years and died a martyr’s death during the persecution of Decius in 250 A.D. Saint Cyprian wrote to his successor that Fabian was an “incomparable” man whose glory in death matched the holiness and purity of his life. \nIn the catacombs of Saint Callistus\, the stone that covered Fabian’s grave may still be seen\, broken into four pieces\, bearing the Greek words\, “Fabian\, bishop\, martyr.” \n\nReflection\nWe can go confidently into the future and accept the change that growth demands only if we have firm roots in the past\, in a living tradition. A few pieces of stone in Rome are a reminder to us that we are bearers of more than 20 centuries of a living tradition of faith and courage in living the life of Christ and showing it to the world. We have brothers and sisters who have “gone before us with the sign of faith\,” as the First Eucharistic Prayer puts it\, to light the way for us. \n\nThe Liturgical Feast of Saint Fabian is January 20.
