00:00Today, December 2nd, we celebrate Saint Viviane, also called Bibiane.
00:06Also celebrated on this day are some less common first names, such as Vivienne or Bibiana.
00:12But the major figure celebrated throughout Christendom is indeed Saint Viviane.
00:17Young Roman martyr of the 4th century.
00:21Saint Viviane is one of those saints whose life,
00:24brief but of extraordinary intensity, it left its mark on the nascent church.
00:31Her first name, which means "the living one", contrasts profoundly with the tragic destiny that was hers.
00:40Viviane grew up in a Rome in turmoil,
00:43a city still wavering between idol worship and the new faith,
00:48full of tensions, persecutions, but also hope.
00:53And amidst this turmoil, a fragile and luminous teenager
00:58will become a sign of strength, purity and absolute fidelity to Christ.
01:07Viviane was born in Rome at the beginning of the 4th century, into a devout Christian family.
01:14His parents, Flavien and Daphrosa, are among those courageous believers
01:19who profess their faith despite the risks of prison, exile, or even death.
01:26From a very young age, Viviane was deeply influenced by the example set by her parents.
01:30a simple, humble, joyful faith, but ready for anything.
01:35Their home is a center of charity,
01:39a place where prayer infuses every gesture, every word.
01:45When Emperor Julian, nicknamed the Apostate,
01:48launches a new wave of persecution against Christians,
01:52Viviane's family is directly targeted.
01:55Flavien, his father, was arrested, tortured, then exiled, where he died of exhaustion.
02:04His mother, Daphrosa, was in turn imprisoned, then beheaded.
02:09for refusing to deny Christ.
02:12Viviane and her sister were then left at the mercy of the prefect Apronianus,
02:19known for his cruelty towards Christians.
02:21He wants to break Viviane, to force her to renounce her faith, to sacrifice to idols.
02:30But despite her young age, Viviane remains unshaken.
02:35She refuses calmly, without hatred, without fear, without compromise.
02:41Furious, the prefect condemns her to be beaten to death.
02:45And in this excruciating suffering, Viviane never ceases to pray.
02:50She died a martyr, her face turned towards heaven.
02:56as if illuminated by a peace that nothing could tarnish.
03:00It is said that those who saw his body were struck by its almost supernatural gentleness.
03:06from his expression, as if the violence of the torture had not been able to reach the purity of his soul.
03:14His body was placed in the small family cemetery and very soon miracles began to happen there.
03:23Healings, conversions, profound consolations.
03:28The Church then understood that this teenager had left an indelible mark on the hearts of believers.
03:35Prayer to Saint Viviane
03:39O God, you who crowned with glory your servant and martyr, Saint Bibiana,
03:48Grant to those who invoke Him with confidence the strength to face trials,
03:53purity in temptation and faithfulness in faith.
03:58Through her intercession, soothe our pain.
04:02Renew our hope and lead us on the path of holiness.
04:06Saint Viviane, faithful young martyr,
04:11Please pray for us.
04:13Amen.
