Saturday of our Lady


Today the Office of our Lady on Saturday is recited, but there is a Commemoration of St Hilarion:

In Cyprus, the birthday of the holy abbot Hilarion. His life, full of virtues and miracles, was written by St. Jerome.

From the Roman Martyrology.

The Commemoration:

V. The Lord guided the righteous in right paths.
R. And shewed him the kingdom of God.

Ant. on Bened: Well done, good and faithful servant: * thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

Let us pray.
Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, that the prayers of thy holy Abbot Hilarion may commend us unto thee : that we, who have no power of ourselves to help ourselves, may by his advocacy find favour in thy sight. Through.

From the Roman Breviary.

St Jerome's Life of St Hilarion.

His biography from the Catholic Encyclopædia.
