Severe (+304)
Bishop
He was consecrated bishop of Barcelona, Spain, and in the persecution of Diocletian, he took refuge with his two deacons in the mountains.
Biography
In San Cugat, the bishop surrendered to his persecutors and they, to intimidate him, beheaded the other two and offered the bishop riches and honors in exchange for renouncing his faith. Seeing him unmoved, the soldiers hammered a large nail into his head and that is why it is customary to invoke him against migraines and neuralgia.
Practical advice
As soon as you have the opportunity, respond to evil with a concrete work of good and also take care of the small details.
