St. Leander of Seville






Feastday: February 27
534 - 600

St. Leander of Seville, Bishop (Feast - February 27th) Leander was born at Cartagena, Spain, of Severianus and Theodora, illustrious for their virtue. St. Isidore and Fulgentius, both bishops were his brothers, and his sister, Florentina, is also numbered among the saints. He became a monk at Seville and then the bishop of the See. He was instrumental in converting the two sons Hermenegild and Reccared of the Arian Visigothic King Leovigild. This action earned him the kings's wrath and exile to Constantinople, where he met and became close friends of the Papal Legate, the future Pope Gregory the Great. It was Leander who suggested that Gregory write the famous commentary on the Book of Job called the Moralia. Once back home, under King Reccared, St. Leander began his life work of propagating Christian orthodoxy against the Arians in Spain. The third local Council of Toledo (over which he presided in 589) decreed the consubstantiality of the three Persons of the Trinity and brought about moral reforms. Leander's unerring wisdom and unflagging dedication let the Visigoths and the Suevi back to the true Faith and obtained the gratitude of Gregory the Great. The saintly bishop also composed an influential Rule for nuns and was the first to introduce the Nicene Creed at Mass. Worn out by his many activities in the cause of Christ, Leander died around 600 and was succeeded in the See of Seville by his brother Isidore. The Spanish Church honors Leander as the Doctor of the Faith.

We found out recently that if you try to leave a little kid in a graveyard late at night, he'll freak out. Even if you offer to leave him a gun to protect himself. Why? It's because on some instinctual level, all humans know it's just a matter of time until the zombies show up.

I used to be scared of vampires before Hollywood turned them into romantic sissies.

Zombies, on the other hand, aren't looking for love.

National Public Sleeping Day

February 28th, 2012

Train, bus and desk: three of the best places to fall asleep publicly today. Swimming pools, staff meetings, and construction sites: three places where it's probably best not to celebrate this holiday today.

Anyone else been able to eat at the new Johnny's Pizza House in Addison? I got a couple of take-n-bake ones for the house. They're good, but still no substitute for actually eating there.

National Peanut Butter Lover's Day

March 1st, 2012

It's been said that the average child will eat 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before he or she graduates from high school. And who knows how much more peanut butter will be smeared on fruit, stuffed into candy bars or licked right off of spoons. Other reasons to love peanut butter besides its taste: it's a source of protein and fiber, it can be used to make homemade birdfeeders, and it helps get bubble gum out of hair, sort of.
