Julius whose feast day is April 12th. Julius was the son of a Roman named Rusticus. He was elected Pope to succeed Pope St. Mark on February 6, 337. Julius was soon involved in the Arian controversy when Eusebius of Nicomedia opposed the return of Athanasius to the See of Alexandria in 338. Eusebius and his followers elected George, whereupon the Arians elected Pistus. Julius convened a synod in Rome in 340 or 341 that neither group attended, and in a letter to the Eusebian bishops, Julius declared that Athanasius was the rightful bishop of Alexandria and reinstated him. The matter was not finally settled until the Council of Sardica (Sofia), summoned by emperors Constans and Constantius in 342 or 343, declared Julius' action correct and that any deposed bishop had the right of appeal to the Pope in Rome. Julius built several basilicas and churches in Rome and died there on April 12.

Dear Saint,

Kindly intercede for the Pope that he filled with the Holy Spirit guides the Church in the right path shown by our Lord Jesus Christ. Strengthen him to prune the Church of the unwanted and ugly branches so that the Tree of Church bears fruits worthy of offering to our Almighty and ever living God. Amen.

This is such a refreshing site, and honest too, I love that criticisms are included, it shows openness and confidence in the church. To think we have written history from Saint Peter through all the popes still amazes me.
Thank you for today's Saint St Julius a fascinating piece of history.

Dear St. Julius, You are a true defender of faith, since you defended St. Athanasius of Alexandria, who is one of the most noble figures of the Eastern Church.

St. Julius, outstanding in your fight to reinstate Athanasius as the rightful bishop of Alexandria, intercede for us with your prayers. Pray for all Catholic families, give us the grace of self-denial in our daily lives, that we may always live temperate lives...in food, in entertainment. May we speak graciously and be truthful always. You suggested that we write about a problem, in order to resolve it openly and transparently. Be our guide in all controversies. Amen.
