The Fourteenth Day of Christmas
St. Raymond of Penafort
Blessed Raymond was born at Barcelona, of the noble family of Penafort.
He is famous for his work in the freeing of slaves. He wrote five books of Decretals which are now a valuable part of the Canon Law of the Church. The Summa Casuum, which is about the correct and fruitful administration of the Sacrament of Penance, is the most notable of his works.
For St. Raymond's feast we should remember that, "carolling and story telling belong to the whole Christmas season. Hospitality and giving to others also must continue if true Christmas joy is to remain.
"Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful
" Ps 149:1
