Project BLACK MAMBA

Today is the optional memorial of Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, Priest & Martyr, O.F.M. Cap. (1577-1622), martyred by Swiss Calvinists: Martyr-link ūnus, Martyr-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Quoth the bulletin:
Fidelis's constant prayer was that he be kept completely faithful to God & not give in to any lukewarmness or apathy. Complete generosity to others characterized this saint's life. Fidelis is depicted in art with a club set with spikes or a whirlbat (White). His emblem represents heretics.
