St. Apollinaris, who lived in the first century, was from Antioch, Syria. St. Peter gave him the position of Bishop of Ravenna in Italy, which he held for 26 years. He endured nearly continual persecution while serving as a bishop, which included arrest, torture, and exile. Many miracles were performed by Apollinaris. He garnered a lot of followers, which led to a lot of opponents among the unbelievers. After being deported to Greece for the fourth time, during his final attempt to return, he was found leaving the city's gates and subjected to a brutal assault. Seven days after having been attacked, he passed away.
St. Apollinaris of Ravenna, help us embrace a merciful attitude towards those who wrong us.
