Project BLACK MAMBA: Advent

'Tis the feast of Saint Auxentius of Mopsuestia, Bishop (fourth century): Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.

'Tis also the feast of Saint Winebald, Abbot, O.S.B. (circa 701-768, numerous variant spellings): Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. St. Winebald hailed from a family of saints: his father, mother, brother, sister, & uncle (mother's brother) are all canonized. Wow! Not the Holy Family, but certainly a holy family.

Breaking news! A second miracle attributed to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, M.C. (1910-1997, A.K.A. Mother Teresa) has been recognized, setting the stage for her canonization in September 2016: Vatican-link & Reuters-link.
