Caius + fled from the cruelties practiced by Diocletian against the Christians, and lay hid for a + while in a cave, but after eight years he and his brother Gabinus won the crown of + martyrdom. At that time he had sat in the chair of Peter twelve years, four months, and five + days, and had ordained in the month of December twenty-five Priests, eight Deacons, and + five Bishops. He was buried in the Cemetery of Calixtus. It was Urban VIII who renewed the + memorial of him in the city, rebuilt his Church, which had been in ruins, and distinguished + it by making it one of those whence the Cardinals take their titles, and of those which are + called "Stations," and enriching it with the relics of the Saint. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 2 + isGospel: false + source: "St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Sermon 22" + text: + la: >- + Dignum et congruum est, fratres, ut post lætítiam Paschæ, quam in Ecclésia celebrávimus, + gaudia nostra cum sanctis Martyribus conferámus; et iis annuntiémus Dominicæ resurrectiónis + glóriam, qui consortes sunt Dominicæ passiónis.

His parents, who had + long been childless, obtained him, after making a vow, by the prayers of blessed Francis. + While he was yet a lad, the love of God moved him to withdraw into a desert place, where he + lived for six years, hardly as to the body, but sumptuously in meditation on things + heavenly. Nevertheless, when the fame of his holy life was noised abroad, and many betook + themselves to him, that they might learn godliness, he was drawn out of the desert by love + to his neighbour, and built a church near Paola, wherein he laid the first foundations of + his Order. + + + In his words there was a wonderful charm; he kept his virginity always inviolate; he was so + great a lover of lowliness that he used to call himself the last of all, and would that his + disciples should be called the Minimi, which is, being interpreted, the Least of the + brethren. His raiment was coarse; he went always bare-footed; and he slept on the ground. + The extreme smallness of the amount of food which he took was extraordinary. He ate only + once a day, and that after sunset. Then he took only bread and water, with scarcely any of + such condiment as is allowed in Lent. He bound his disciples by a fourth vow, added to those + of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, to observe the same rule of eating as himself. + + + It was the will of God to make the holiness of His servant manifest by many miracles. The + most notorious of these is that on one occasion when some seamen refused to take him over + the Straits of Messina, he spread his cloak upon the sea, and crossed over on it with his + companion. In the spirit of prophecy he foretold many things to come. Louis XI, King of + France, held him in great worship, and bade him to his court. At last, at Tours, in the + ninety-first year of his age, he departed hence to be ever with the Lord: his body remained + unburied for eleven days after his death, but it not only showed no signs of corruption but + even gave forth a sweet savour. Pope Leo X caused him to be numbered among the Saints. + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
