Saint of the day and spiritual life #Empire Romain

Born around 315 in Poitiers, Gaul (present-day France), Hilary grew up in a changing world, where Christianity was beginning to take hold in the Roman Empire. He belonged to a noble and pagan family, which allowed him to receive a solid education, particularly in philosophy and rhetoric. These disciplines would mark his theological style.

Damasus I is believed to have been born around 305, probably in Hispania (in present-day Portugal or Spain). Born into a Christian family, he grew up in an environment where the faith was already firmly anchored. Before being elected pope, Damasus served as a deacon and priest, developing a reputation for piety and leadership.
