• QUIRINUS Bishop of Siscia (Sisak or Seseg) now in Croatia (308) drowned in the River Raab with a millstone around his neck
Bishop of Sescia (modern Sisak), Croatia. During the persecution of Galerius, he was ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods; he declined. Imprisoned, severely beaten, and martyred. While in prison he converted his jailer, Marcellus.
The martyrs are victims of divine love. Their example invites us to shake off all sloth, and to devote our whole lives and all our strength to the service of Him who created us for himself alone, till we shall have consummated our sacrifice to the eternal glory of his holy name. Thus we shall attain to our last end, and shall find immortal happiness; and shall refer to it all our steps in this mortal life, and all the desires of our hearts. These being all formed, actuated, and influenced by faith and love as by a vital principle, will be consecrated to God, will be a constant source of patience, meekness, charity, zeal, and all heroic virtues, will root the soul daily more and more strongly in a steady habit of holiness, and continually increase her vigour and fervour in the service of God, to the consummation of our sacrifice of love.
