Feast of St. Januarius — September 19

Today, on the feast of St. Januarius (San Gennaro), I am reminded of the profound witness of a man who gave his life in fidelity to Christ.

St. Januarius was a fourth-century bishop of Benevento and a martyr of the early Church. During the persecution of Christians, he was arrested and ultimately executed for refusing to renounce his faith. His relics and memory have been particularly venerated in Naples, where he is honored as the city’s patron saint.

One of the most remarkable traditions associated with St. Januarius is the periodic liquefaction of a relic believed to contain his blood, preserved in Naples Cathedral. Today, September 19, 2026, on his feast day, the blood was once again reported to have liquefied at 10:04 a.m. in Naples.

As I donate blood today, I am especially mindful of the meaning of this simple act of giving. St. Januarius gave his blood in witness to his faith; we are called, in our own circumstances, to give of ourselves in service to others.

May his example remind us that our lives are not measured only by what we keep for ourselves, but also by what we are willing to give for the good of others.

St. Januarius, pray for us.
May we always have the courage to give of ourselves in love and service.

St. Sebastian Valfrè (1629–1710) was an Italian Oratorian priest whose life was marked by extraordinary charity, humility, and devotion to the Eucharist. Born in Verduno, Italy, he spent much of his priestly ministry in Turin, where he became known as a compassionate confessor, spiritual director, catechist, and friend of the poor.

One of the miracles traditionally attributed to St. Sebastian Valfrè involved a young man who had suffered a serious injury to his leg. After prayers were offered through the intercession of Father Valfrè, the young man was reportedly healed, and the incident became one of the many accounts associated with his reputation for holiness.

St. Sebastian also devoted himself to prisoners, soldiers, the sick, and those living in poverty. His simple and selfless service reflected his deep desire to see Christ in every person he encountered.

He died in Turin on January 30, 1710, and was beatified in 1834 and canonized by Pope Gregory XVI in 1836. Feast day is January 30.

St. Sebastian Valfrè, faithful servant of God and apostle of charity, pray for us. 🙏🏼

St. Gemma Galgani

St. Gemma Galgani is remembered for her extraordinary devotion to the Passion of Christ. One of the most remarkable experiences of her life was receiving the stigmata, sharing in a profound and mysterious way in Christ’s suffering.

Yet beyond these extraordinary experiences, Gemma’s life was marked by humility, prayer, obedience, and complete trust in God.

Her life reminds us that true holiness is not about seeking extraordinary signs, but about loving Christ faithfully, especially in suffering.

St. Gemma Galgani, pray for us. 🙏🏼
