Saint Simeon, son of Cleophas and Mary, who was so closely related to The Blessed Virgin as to be called her sister, "was anointed with Holy Oil" (Gradual) and became Bishop of Jerusalem, after Saint James the Less.

A Disciple of Christ, Whom he had known, he was for this reason arrested and crucified (Gospel). Although he was 120 years of age, the venerable old man "suffered this cruel punishment with constancy and received The Crown of Life which God prepares for those who love Him" (Epistle).

His Martyrdom took place in 106 A.D.

Like Saint Simeon, let us unite ourselves to Jesus by dying to sin at this Holy Season of Penance.
