    • Memorial of St. Josaphat, 1580-1623; born in what is now Ukraine, became a Basilian monk, then a priest, and was soon known as a preacher and ascetic; as bishop of Vitebsk and archbishop of Polotsk, he found that most monks did not desire reunion with Rome; however, Josaphat won the greater portion of Orthodox in that area to the union; but in the following year, the rumor was spread that he had "gone Latin," and his followers would be forced to do the same; he went to Vitebsk, and a mob assembled; Josaphat was struck with a halberd, then shot, and his body thrown into the river; tt was later recovered and is now buried in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome

    • Memorial of St. Martin of Tours, 316-397; born in what is now Hungary, raised in Italy; after being discharged from the army, he became a monk; he established what may have been the first French monastery; the people of Tours demanded that he become their bishop, so they lured him to the city on a ruse; he was taken to the church, where he reluctantly consented to being consecrated bishop; as bishop, he rejected the concept of putting heretics to death, and prevailed upon the emperor not to intrude in such matters; as death approached, Martin's followers begged him not to leave them; he prayed, “Lord, if your people still need me, I do not refuse the work. Your will be done”
