I use to update my blog daily with pictures and a brief synopsis of each day\u2019s saint, but the Church proved to have more saints than I had time and the practice ceased. Now I just feature my \u201cbesties\u201d in the saint department, Saints I\u2019ve grown close to and befriended throughout my life. Sometimes I\u2019ll even feature a saint that doesn\u2019t necessarily fit in the besties category but instead has a connection with someone I know. Or used to know. Whatever; you know what I mean. <\/p>\n

So today is the memorial of St. Hilary<\/a>. From the same link; <\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the foremost defenders of the true faith stood Hilary. He belonged to a distinguished family and had received an excellent education. Though a married man, he was made bishop of Poitiers by reason of his exemplary life. It was not long before his valiant defense of the faith precipitated his exile to Phrygia. Here he composed his great work on the Blessed Trinity (in twelve books). It is a vigorous defense of the faith, which, he said, \u201ctriumphs when attacked.\u201d Finally, after four years he was permitted to return to his native land. He continued his efforts, and through prudence and mildness succeeded in ridding Gaul of Arianism. Because of his edifying and illustrious writings on behalf of the true religion, the Church honors him as one of her doctors.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Why not hop over to the other Hilary\u2019s place<\/a> and scroll through all her wonderful art posts and links. She\u2019s done quite well cultivating her blog into a beautiful place to visit. <\/p>\n
