Today is the feast of St. Polycarp, Bishop and Martyr.
StG
Do we get jelly and ice cream?
Happy celebrations!
I shall feast on Tex-Mex at lunch in honor of St. Polycarp. I gave up moderation for lent.
But it can’t be flame-broiled.
Today is also National Banana Bread Day.
Coincidence? I think not!
O God, the maker of heaven and earth, who gave to your Venerable servant, the holy and gentle Polycarp, boldness to confess Jesus Christ as King and Saviour, and steadfastness to die for his faith: Give us grace, following his example, to share the cup of Christ and rise to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Happy Polycarp day!
