St. Eusebius

Eusebius was born in Sardinia a lector at Rome, and later bishop of Vercelli, fought so bravely against Arianism that his unconquerable faith supplied encouragement and new life to the Pope. Because of his profession of the Catholic faith, Eusebius was sent to Scythopolis by emperor Constantius, where he suffered hunger, thirst, beatings and many other kinds of torment. From there he was sent away to Cappadocia and endured hardships of exile until Constantius' death. When he was allowed to return to his own Church, Italy put off her garments of mourning. Here he published his own expurgated Latin translation of the Greek commentaries of Origen and those of Eusebius of Cesarea on all the psalms. At Vercelli, during the reign of Valentinian and Valens, he went to the Lord to receive the unfading crown of glory earned by his great labors and hardship.

Deus, qui nos beáti Eusébii Mártyris tui atque Pontíficis ánnua solemnitáte lætíficas: concéde propítius; ut, cuius natalícia cólimus, de eiúsdem étiam protectióne gaudeámus.
Per Dóminum

O God, who year by year dost gladden us by the solemn feast day of thy Blessed Martyr and Bishop Eusebius, mercifully grant that we who keep his birthday, may ever feel the joyful effects of his protection. Through our Lord Jesus Christ
