Vatican Overturns Three Papal Bulls - Fulton Sheen Today

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424

Date – Thursday, April 6th - 2023 – St. Aphraates

St. Aphraates, also known as Aphrahat, was born in Persia in 280 and died in 345. He was an anchorite and a sage who had the power of working miracles. He was a defender of the Catholic faith against the Arians in the fourth century. While the details of his miracles are unknown, it is fascinating to see a saint who used miracles as a form of apologetics. It is not clear why Our Lady does not give us the power to work miracles against today's heretics, but it is believed that the specific grace the counter-revolutionary receives is a special grace that gives him the possibility to see that the Holy, Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church is the true Church and that the civil order based on Catholic doctrine is the true civil and temporal order. This grace relies, like any grace, on an acceptance of the will. These characteristics give us such clarity on what the True Religion is that we do not need to work miracles. St. Aphraates is a reminder that miracles are not necessary for our sanctification, and the miracle of faith is what is truly noble and beautiful.

St. Aphraates Pray for us.
