St. Anacletus, the second successor of St. Peter, was martyred under Trajan about the beginning of the second century. V • St, Camillus of Lqllis, Confessor. St. Camillas was a native of the kingdom •;of Naples. Having embraced the military profession, he soon found himself reduced ; by his gambling propensities to the direst i distress. Poverty became for him, through the Providence of God, the occasion of his conversion. Thenceforward he devoted himself to the care of the sick and dying, and for this purpose established a religious Order, the members of which are known as “Ministers of the Sick.” St. Camillus died in Romo in 1614, at the age of 65. ✓
