St. Placidus
Saint Placidus was born at Rome in 515. Tertullus, his father, a man of high rank, placed him, at the age of seven, under the tutelage of St. Benedict at Subiaco. Daily the youth advanced in holy wisdom and in the perfect practice of all virtues. St. Benedict seeing the great progress which divine grace made in Placidus tender heart loved him as one of the dearest of his spiritual children, and took him to Monte Cassino in 528. St. Placidus was then sent to Sicily to erect a church and monastery in honor of St. John the Baptist, near the harbor of Messina, where he lived a holy life with his Monks.
Martyrs of the Faith
St. Gregory the Great mentioned in his Dialogues that St. Placidus was the youthful disciple of St. Benedict; that Saints Eutychius and Victorinus were brothers of St. Placidus and St. Flavia was their sister. One day when they came to visit Placidus, a certain cruel pagan pirate from Africa, named Manucha, landed in Sicily, and out of hatred of the Christian name, after sacking the monastery, and being unable to induce Placidus and his companions to deny Christ, ordered him and his brothers and sister to be cruelly put to death. Donatus, Firmatus the deacon, Faustus, and thirty other Monks were also martyred with them on October 5, about the year 539.
