Month of Feasts

August is full of many good saints. Today we kick off with St. Alphonsus Ligouri. He founded the Redeptorists. He suffered many trial, setbacks, and betrayal by his brothers, but he always remained faithful. He teaches us to persevere if faith in the midst of obstacles and sorrow.

That's because all the great people are born in August :)
And, according to Universae Ecclesiae, there is no set number on how many have to request the EF. In Articles 15-19 it describes a group of faithful with no min number and the only proviso is that they "they must not in any way support or belong to groups which show themselves to be against the validity of legitmacy" of the N.O. So, I think that one person asking is enough :)
