On Thursday of the Second Week of Easter, a reading by Saint Gaudentius of Brescia, bishop.
Saint Gaudentius was Bishop of Brescia, in northern Italy, from 387 until 410, and was a theologian and author of many letters and sermons.
Saint Gaudentius was consecrated by Saint Ambrose in 387. A record of the discourse given by Gaudentius on the occasion of his consecration is preserved. He reported upon his consecration that he had brought relics back with him from the Holy Land, relics of John the Baptist, the Apostles, relics of saints from Milan, and of the forty martyrs of Sebaste. He deposited these relics in a basilica that he named "Concilium Sanctorum", and wrote a sermon upon its dedication.
