Day 38 - Friday after Ash Wednesday - Saints John and Paul on the Coelian

The Station is at the Church of Saints John and Paul on the Coelian Hill.

"Many books have been written on this Shrine built on the Coelian, on the church now standing, of the 18th century, which modifies the one [built] by Pascal II in 1099, ...on the oratory of the 4th century... discovered at the end of the 1800s." (Source)
The patrons of the Station Church, killed in the terrible persecutions unleashed by Julian the Apostate, inspire the Gospel (St. Matthew, v, 43-48; vi, 1-4) of the day:
Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you; and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh His sun to rise upon the good and the bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have?
A good day to meditate on some words of the Imitation of Christ, book I, chapter 16:

THOSE things that a man cannot amend in himself or in others, he ought to suffer patiently, until God order things otherwise. Think that perhaps it is better so for your trial and patience, without which all our good deeds are not much to be esteemed. You ought to pray notwithstanding when you have such impediments, that God would vouchsafe to help you, and that you may bear them kindly.
