Saint Anthony Zaccaria, Priest and Saint Elizabeth of Portugal
Optional Memorials

Saint Anthony Zaccaria was born in 1502 in Italy. Well-educated; he studied Greek, Latin, philosophy and medicine. His mother’s love for the poor inspired his own charisms; so, at age 26, Saint Anthony decided to change professions and enter the priesthood. As a man for the masses, Saint Anthony moved to the populous city of Milan and preached among the people. He pursued the Gospels simply and clearly and as such, incited a movement. The Clerics Regular of St. Paul, the Angelic Sisters of St. Paul, and the Laity of St. Paul were all founded under his initial leadership. Pope Benedict XVI, in a preface written about Saint Anthony wrote he was, “an authentic man of God… a true leader, able to convert others to good.”[1][2]

Saint Elizabeth of Portugal was a princess and queen in the 13th century, daughter to Pedro III; King of Aragon, and Constantia; granddaughter to Frederick II. Her upbringing led her to pious works including the daily recitation of the Office, fasting, and works of charity and mercy. When her husband, Denis; the King of Portugal, and her son went to war over the throne, Saint Elizabeth valiantly rode into battle between their armies to incite peace. A truce was formed and as such, Saint Elizabeth often bears the name ‘Peacemaker.’[

Let us "sanctify our day" by praying the Liturgy of the Hours.

The Liturgy of the Hours (Latin: Liturgia Horarum) or Divine Office (Latin: Officium Divinum) or Work of God (Latin: Opus Dei) or canonical hours,often referred to as the Breviary,is the official set of prayers "marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer".It consists primarily of psalms supplemented by hymns, readings and other prayers and antiphons. Together with the Mass, it constitutes the official public prayer life of the Church. The Liturgy of the Hours is the prayer of the whole People of God. In it, Christ himself “continues his priestly work through his Church.” His members participate according to their own place in the Church and the circumstances of their lives. The laity, too, is encouraged to recite the divine office either with the priests, among themselves or individually.

Let us join the Universal Church in praying the Divine Office.
.
Amid coronavirus outbreak, with many people unable to attend Mass and isolated in their homes, Divine Office is inviting us to join in prayer. We hope more brothers and sisters will find spiritual nourishment, strength, and consolation in praying the Liturgy of the Hours as we all go through these difficult, uncertain times.

We pray that this COVID19 come to end and for world peace.
