Date – Thursday, July 13th, 2023 – St. Eugenius

I. Introduction

Commemoration of St. Eugenius of Carthage on July 13

Historical background: Vandals' invasion and persecution of Catholics in North Africa (5th Century)

II. The Plight of the Catholics in North Africa

Vandal King Genseric's persecution of Catholics, plundering of churches, and burning of bishops

Banishment of Bishop St. Quodvultdeus and 5,000 laypeople to the desert

St. Eugenius unanimously chosen as Bishop of Carthage in 481

Huneric, the Arian successor, imposed strict conditions on Catholics, including no conversions

St. Eugenius buried many martyrs who chose death over renouncing the Catholic Faith

Example of a mother encouraging her son to die for the Trinity and the Catholic Church

Many of the Catholics who apostatized from fear of martyrdom became cruel persecutors of their faithful brothers. This is the famous case of Elpidophorus who was appointed judge at Carthage. One day Deacon Muritta, who had baptized Elpidophorus when he was a child, was brought before him. With him Muritta brought the chrismale, or white garment, with which he had clothed the child after he was baptized. Showing it to the whole assembly, he said to the apostate judge: "This garment will accuse you when God the Judge shall appear in majesty on the last day. It will bear testimony against you to your condemnation. This garment that covered you when, pure and unspotted, you left the waters of Baptism, will increase your torment when you will be engulfed by the eternal flames."

VI. St. Eugenius' Exile and Death

Thrasimund's persecution and banishment of St. Eugenius to Languedoc, France

St. Eugenius' death in exile in 505, in a monastery he founded

St. Eugenius and Martyrs, pray for us!
