ST. VJATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

turE>. In consE>que nce, every one was a.ttached to him , and :\ veneration seldom felt for one so young, stole over the hearts of those who li stened to him.

"S~tint Just~, his Bishop, l'!ecing · him: fulfillin~ thus f.dthfully atrrl with extraord inary g rnce the functions .of 11 Lrcti;r' \VtlS ~Hl vancing him to the rriestly state, whrn n. uircumst:1nee occurred which preve nted Viator from ever leaving the bumble n>nk of a reader or Lec­tor.

••It happened in tlw city of Lyons tha,t a man, in a · ~tale (,f frenzy, killed several 1<1en, and th<'ll took r~fuge i:n the uiHH<.:h, believing no one woull viol ate the right of sa r:etuary. ns it \\·n s ca lled. When bis . dcf'cl hecn.me known, Lhe people of Lyons, full (lf indignation, assem­bled rOtll :rl the church to which he had betnk~11 him-

· self,netermined to wreak a just YE>ngen nce, n~ thfy saicl, npon the erim'n:d. Saint .Tn ste, with the pity wbicu a priest feel» for a sinner, and, knowing t.hat t!Je awful tra.gedy came more from fo o li sh passion tb::JII a cool i11tenti oM to kill his viutitr,s, tri erl to protect !tim froiTJ the fury of the crowed, 1erninding them that they would violat e the sacred phce by avenging th~mselves up :'n hi 111 there. Then tiH'y insisted th:o t 1 hey would ic t fire to th e clnm·h, ::~rrl the wretc·b d:oold perish in it. This f.o wrought upon Saint Juste that he gnvt­thc m:·•u up to then1 on one Ponditioo, viz: that thry would imprison him for trial without d1;ing him nny hnrm .'

•·This they pronlisecl, but no sooner w:<s the unfortu­nate man in their power than tl1ey put him to a cruel death , which so shocl<ed ~aint Jnstc, tht>ir holy Bishop, tltat he tool;: upOit him :se lf the Lti:tme of tills nct.ion be­fore God, nnd resolved to expiate it. IIe me~litaterl long upon the best w:1y in whi ch to ancomplifh it., :nHl de­cided to lenve Lyons nnrl his l!eloved pcorle upon ~ome ocent;ion wl•t"n he wonLI be called J'rom them pub· licly; :wd tllen pursue hi~ journey in secret to the rlcs ­ert of Egypt, !,here to join the hermitR wbo live<1 lives of suc!J holiness in the solitud es of Thehaid. This occa­sion presented itselt in the year 38l, wlH~n a eouncil wao called to sit at Aqnilie, and we Bishop ot L_y(lns, our Saint .Ju~:e, \~:1 s n·qnired to go there ~o r epl'('Sent the whole nnli .. n of the Gnnls. In this council tltere were thirty-two Bi~lH>[•S of eminent s:wctity , and ov<•r these J.Jreside<l S:~int Ambrose, the holy Archbi:;hop of i\Iilau, who, after hi !' de::lh, w:·ts declared a Doctor of the church as well as a saint. Having performed all the du­ties of his office in the council, Saint Juste considered tbis the time to escape to Egypt, and confided his in­tention to hi s young Lector, Viator, asking him to ac­company him if he W'1,s moved to do so by the Holy Spirit. There was no hesitation on the ~·art . of Viator To follow his Bishop, wh~:;n a~ked to do so, was his du ­ty, and then the life of perfe(;tion to wl1ich be was

thus Paill'-<1, h:td a great attraction for him . "Kueping, therefore; the secret of the holy Bio:hop, he

left Lyons without bidding farewell to his p:trents or his brotlwr;; in religion; an<l going to Arles, joined there hi s father in Christ, the holy Bi shop of Lyons. Together tlwy journryc<1 hy lund nnd ~en, wi bout turning a5idc t ., vi~it any of the wonrlers rJf t he coun tries through whic:h they pnsserl, until they came to the desert of Tl;ebaid, made holy for a ll time by the live,.:

·.of penitenee and prnyer led by the hermits who made the wilrlernr> fS blossom witt> the ros<'s of snnctity. There the hoiy Bi,hor> and .hi s young Lector took up coura­geously the snme severe life, by which they became angels rathf•r than men.

''At lengr h S·tin t Juste, who was no w aged, fell ill, and was ntlen•h·rl in the most devoted manner by his Clisciple VinUJr; while a priest from Lyons Jlamed Anti­ochu~, who. inspired witlt the same desire for perfection as his Bishop, ha d come to Thebnid, now joined Viatot· in his pious d~votion of Saint Juste. When the affec­tionate Lector saw his ve1wrahle fhther near his end, the thought- of hi» own desolation overcame him and he cried out in llis anguish : 'My G ')d and my Lord why dost thou f<uEake me?' The spirit in which this wa~ · said by Viator was so truly religious, as if God were taking from him his guide to sanetity, that Saint Juste consoled him as Saint Sixtus consoled Saint Lawrence : •Be not troubled, my son, as if you were to be deprived of all consolat iou, for in a short time you will follow me.' At these words the tear'l of the young Lector ce:.tsed, for he harl no doubt that he should soon join his spiritual htller in the reg ions of bliss. All of this carne true, for while Saint Juste y ielded up his sancti­fied spi rit the 2:~d. clay of September, on the 21st. day of October the innocent Viator breathed out his pure soul to God in :• n e('s tncy of peace. By the hand of the priest, A11tiocllus, Viator was laid in the same grave as Saint ,J u ~te, while he lost no time in writing to Lyons explaining the ~inguhr absence of t!Jeir Bishop and his Lector. Th·~ whole city of Lyon~, alive to the graces which were itl ston• for thero if tltey wonld secure the relics of Sai 11t Juste n.nd Saint Viator, took every means to transfer them safdy from their gmve in the desert. 'Vben t!Jey n rri ved in Lyons, not only was tile Bishop received w:th eve ry clen1onstration of veneration and honor, hut the bo~y of the young Lector, whose an­gelic mode~ty lt:td delighted them as he gave forth the lesson of the clay, was received as that of a Saint; while the same mother and nmse of saints, the Church, Cath­olic and Roman, who placed an aureole around the head of the Bishop of Lyons, placed another around the head of his young Lector; henceforth, like the young deacons, Saint Lawrence and Saint Vincent., to be honored as a sttint.
