In the latter, during the pontificate of Pope Soterius, he praises the charity of the Romans with the poor and shows his veneration for the Vicars of Christ. The saint worked on the philosophical errors of paganism, origin of heresies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cope.es\/religion\/vivir-la-fe\/oracion-del-dia\/noticias\/oracion-del-dia-san-dionisio-20220408_2018119\">defended the faith<\/a> and died in 180.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saint Julia Billiart, persecuted<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Cuvilly (France) in 1751, an illness left Saint Julie Billiart paralyzed in both legs. A disease from which she was miraculously cured when she was 50 years old, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franciscanos.org\/agnofranciscano\/m04\/dia0408.html\">Franciscan Directory<\/a>. She was a pious woman. Persecuted during the French Revolution for harboring Catholic priests, she had to go into exile. She began to live in common with some companions and from there was born the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur for the Christian education of young girls. She died in 1816 and was canonized by St. Paul VI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other saints of April 8 are the martyrs of Antioch Timothy, Diogenes, Macarius and Maximus. St. Justus, a prophet quoted in the Acts of the Apostles: \"In those days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them, named Acabo, moved by the Spirit, stood up and prophesied...\" (Acts 11:27-28). And also the Spanish Blessed Juli\u00e1n de San Agust\u00edn, a native of Medinaceli (Soria), who embraced the Franciscan life, and Domingo del Sant\u00edsimo Sacramento Iturralde (Dima, Vizcaya), who in 1918 professed in the Order of the Most Holy Trinity.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La liturgia contempla este martes d\u00eda 8 la celebraci\u00f3n de san Dionisio de Corinto,
