SUMMARY: Saint Narcissus of Jerusalem
DESCRIPTION:Image: Saint Narcissus of Jerusalem | in Caractâeristiques des saints dans l’art populaire | photo by Internet Archive Book Images\nSaint Narcissus of Jerusalem\nSaint of the Day for October 29\n(d. c. 216)\nClick to hear audio clip ► \nSaint Narcissus of Jerusalem’s Story\nLife in second- and third-century Jerusalem couldn’t have been easy\, but Saint Narcissus managed to live well beyond 100. Some even speculate he lived to 160. \nDetails of his life are sketchy\, but there are many reports of his miracles. The miracle for which he is most remembered was turning water into oil for use in the church lamps on Holy Saturday when the deacons had forgotten to provide any. \nWe do know that Narcissus became bishop of Jerusalem in the late second century. He was known for his holiness\, but there are hints that many people found him harsh and rigid in his efforts to impose Church discipline. One of his many detractors accused Narcissus of a serious crime at one point. Though the charges against him did not hold up\, he used the occasion to retire from his role as bishop and live in solitude. His disappearance was so sudden and convincing that many people assumed he had actually died. \nSeveral successors were appointed during his years in isolation. Finally\, Narcissus reappeared in Jerusalem and was persuaded to resume his duties. By then\, he had reached an advanced age\, so a younger bishop was brought in to assist him until his death. \n\nReflection\nAs our life spans increase and we face the bodily problems of aging\, we might keep Saint Narcissus in mind and ask him to help us face our developing issues.
