========================
SAINT Patrick was born in Britain of a Romanized family. When he was
16 years old, Irish raiders tore him from the villa of his father,
Calpurnius, a deacon and minor local official, and carried Patrick
into slavery in Ireland. He spent six bleak years there as a herdsman,
during which time he turned with fervor to his faith. Upon dreaming
that the ship in which he was to escape was ready, he fled his
enslaver and found passage to Britain. There he came near to
starvation and suffered a second brief captivity before he was
reunited with his family. Thereafter he may have paid a short visit to
the Continent.

EU: “Interoperability enables a deeper and more seamless integration
of third-party products with Apple’s ecosystem. Interoperability is
therefore key to opening up new possibilities for third parties to
develop innovative products and services on Apple’s gatekeeper
platforms.”
According to the decision, nine iOS connectivity features, mostly used
for connected devices such as smartwatches, headphones or TVs, are to
be made accessible to rival manufacturers and app developers. These
features include the display of notifications on smartwatches, faster
data transfers over Wi-Fi connections or ‘near-field communication’
(NFC) and easier device set-up procedures, such as pairing.
“As a result, connected devices of all brands will work better on
iPhones,” said the Commission statement.

FIRST Word: What was the first word the Child Jesus said to Saint Joseph?
These words flooded Saint Joseph’s heart with love, reverence, and joy.
He then humbly knelt before the Child Jesus and thanked him because
the first word he heard was “Father.”
Through tears, he then asked the Lord that His divine light would
shine upon him and guide him in the fulfilment of his perfect will.
