Date – Friday, May 12th - 2023 – Pope St. Julius I

Pope St. Julius I, who reigned from 337 to 352, is honored today for his courageous defense of the Catholic faith against the Arian heresy. During his papacy, he faced challenges from the Eusebians, who continued to promote Arianism and harbored hostility towards St. Athanasius, the Bishop of Alexandria.

When the Eusebians opposed St. Athanasius' return to his See, they appealed to Pope Julius for resolution. In response, the Pope convened the Council of Sardica in 343. He warmly welcomed St. Athanasius to Rome, reaffirming his support for the Alexandrian bishop's teachings and position.

The Council of Sardica addressed critical matters concerning the Catholic faith, the objections raised by the Arian followers of Eusebius of Nicomedia, and the complaints lodged against St. Athanasius. Pope Julius I, together with the council Fathers, deposed and excommunicated eight prominent Arians, removing them from their episcopal offices and cutting them off from the faithful.

In recognition of Pope Julius' steadfastness and leadership, the Bishops of the Council sent him a remarkable letter titled "Quod semper credidimus." In this letter, they expressed their belief that the Pope, despite his physical absence, was present with them in spirit and shared their convictions. They acknowledged the importance of reporting to the Head of the Church, the See of the Apostle Peter, to safeguard the flock against schismatic wolves and heretical adversaries.

Pope St. Julius I's unwavering commitment to upholding Catholic doctrine and defending the Church from heresy serves as a shining example of his sanctity and fidelity. May his steadfastness inspire us to courageously defend the faith in our own lives and stand firm against any threats to the truth.

Pope St. Julius I, Pray for us.

Sub Tuum Praesidium
Latin:
Sub tuum praesidium confugimus,
Sancta Dei Genetrix.
Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus,
sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper,
Virgo gloriosa et benedicta.

English:
We fly to thy protection,
O holy Mother of God.
Despise not our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.
