A Useful Life

.
Today is the day on which we remember Saint Aurelian of Limoge.

Saint Aurelian, you may recall, was the third-century pagan priest who wanted to throw Martial into jail but was struck dead as he tried to do so. Martial brought him back to life, baptised him as a Christian, ordained him as a priest and later consecrated him as the second bishop of Limoge where his relics are now housed.

Maybe the party leaders should give up a few minutes to remember this saint. After all, he lived a very useful life after once being struck dead!
