I am thankful for my faith and those who have taught me and supported me in my faith.
My Saint for today is St. Tarcisius. Tarcisius was a young acolyte during a time when the Christians were persecuted in Rome. One day he was entrusted with taking the Blessed Sacrament to Christians in prison. On the way, he was accosted by some boys his own age who wanted to see what he was carrying. When he refused to show them, they got angry and beat him to death. His feast day is celebrated on 15 August, but, since that day is occupied by the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, he is not mentioned in the General Roman Calendar, but only in the Roman Martyrology.
