Saint Simon of Trent

"Memorial formerly 24 March; removed from the calender and veneration forbidden in 1965 by the Sacred Congregation of Rites

Profile A child who was apparently murdered around Easter time. His death was attributed to local Jews who were accused of killing a Christian child out of hatred for Christ. Libel of the day claimed they needed his blood to make matzoh bread for Passover. Seventeen Jews were tortured into confessions. Miracles were reported through Simon's intercession, but the incident is a matter of anti-Semitism rather than sanctity."

Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatae Mariae semper virgini, beato Michaeli archangelo, beato Joanni Baptistae, beatis Apostolis Petro et Paulo, et omnibus sanctis, quia peccavi cogitatione, verbo, et opere, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maximo culpa. Ideo precor beatam Mariam semper virginem, beatum Michaelum archangelum, beatum Joannem Baptistam, beatos Apostolos Petrum et Paulum, et omnes sanctos, orare pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum. Amen.
