CATHOLICISM SAINTS ST. JOSAPHAT

*Josaphat Kuntsevych (c. 1580 – 12 November 1623) was a monk and archeparch (archbishop) of the Ruthenian Catholic Church, who on 12 November 1623 was killed by an angry mob in Vitebsk, in the eastern peripheries of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (present-day Belarus). He is “the best-known victim” of anti-Catholic violence related to implementing the Union of Brest, and is declared a martyr and saint of the Catholic Church.

For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night.  But you, brothers, are not in darkness, for that day to overtake you like a thief. For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness.

1 Thes 5:2,4–5
