Blessed Feast of St. Justin Martyr—Patron Saint of Philosophers (d. 165) Priest and Martyr
About his life:
Justin was born in Syrian Palestine and was trained as a philosopher.
Justin ultimately accepted the Christian Faith as the full expression of truth. He used his skills as a philosopher to defend Christian teachings and he holds a honored place among the Church’s earliest writers.
In his writings, Saint Justin reveals his love of the truth, understood as a way of life revealed by God’s own Incarnate Word.
The writings of Saint Justin contain some of the earliest teachings in the Eucharist: “And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία (the Eucharist)... For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Savior, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word… is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.”
Saint Justin was martyred in Rome around the year 165 and he is honored as one of the patron saint of philosophers.
