September 16
Feast of St. Cornelius, Pope and Martyr (D. 253)
and St. Cyprian, Bishop and Martyr (D. 258)
“By that shared love which binds us closely together, we are doing all we can to exhort our congregation, to give ourselves unceasingly to fastings, vigils and prayers in common. These are the heavenly weapons which give us the strength to stand firm and endure; they are the spiritual defenses, the God-given armaments that protect us.”
-St. Cyprian in a letter to St. Cornelius
