Saint Peter Chrysologus (450)

Saint Peter Chrysologus was only forty-four years old when he died.  Yet he has been declared one of the thirty-two Doctors of the Catholic Church.  His name Chrysologus means golden speech.  All his sermons are in the clear, simple, authoritative style of Our Lord when He preached to the Apostles and told them how to preach to others.  Saint Peter Chrysologus was the Archbishop of Ravenna in Italy.  He was one of the great crusaders for frequent Holy Communion among the faithful.
