Nárniæ sancti Cássii, ejúsdem cívitátis Epíscopi, de quo sanctus Gregórius Papa refert quod nullus ferme dies vitæ ejus abscedébat, quo placatiónis hóstias omnipoténti Deo non offérret; cui et concordábat vita, quia, cuncta quæ habébat, in eleemósynis tríbuens, in hora sacrifícii totus in lácrimis diffluébat. Demum, natalítio Apostolórum die, quo síngulis annis Romam veníre consuéverat, in eádem Narniénsi urbe, cum Missárum solémnia celebrásset, et corpus Domínicum pacémque ómnibus dedísset, migrávit ad Dóminum. At Narni, St. Cassius, bishop of that city. St. Gregory relates that he permitted scarcely any day of his life to pass without offering the Victim of propitiation to Almighty God. It was in character with his life for he distributed in alms all he possessed, and his devotion was such that abundant tears flowed from his eyes during the holy Sacrifice. At last, coming to Rome on the birthday of the apostles, as was his yearly custom, after having solemnly celebrated Mass and given the Lord’s Body and the kiss of peace to all, he departed for heaven.
