Is moses a saint with the day of September 4th, or just the Vatican II calender?
No that is the date of the Prophet Moses in the pre-1970 calendar as well.Is moses a saint with the day of September 4th, or just the Vatican II calender?
What a strange question.I was wondering how one can be devoted to Moses, and how could this help…
I didn’t think that any of the prophets ever had the title saint along with them.Is moses a saint with the day of September 4th, or just the Vatican II calender?

Oh, well I mean you don’t really ever hear anyone say St. Moses or like St. Enoch.The patriarchs, prophets and certain other Old Testament figures have been and always will be honored as saints in all the Church’s liturgical traditions.

You do in the Eastern Churches.Oh, well I mean you don’t really ever hear anyone say St. Moses or like St. Enoch.
Ok, well I don’t see it very often then.You do in the Eastern Churches.
St. Job is one of my favorite saints.
I’ve seen several icons of St. Moses so labeled available for sale through Catholic sources.
Yes ok I agree.Think how of much of Sacred Scripture is devoted to the patriarchs and prophets. Why wouldn’t we honor them? As already pointed out, the Catechism explicitly states that they are always honored among the saints. Abraham is our spiritual Father in faith, as Scripture clear teaches (see Romans 4), and thus deserves honor from all of us.
Even in the Western Church- if you look through old missals which have their Masses, they usually go something like St. N, Prophet and Confessor.You do in the Eastern Churches.
St. Job is one of my favorite saints.

Our Holy Fathers St. Elias (July 20) and St. Eliseus (June 14) have important feasts on the Carmelite Calendars. And the Holy Maccabees (August 1) are still commemorated on the 1962 calendar. All of the prophets from Moses to John the Baptist are listed in the Roman Martyrology --1962 edition as well as 2004 edition.Oh, well I mean you don’t really ever hear anyone say St. Moses or like St. Enoch.
Our official book of saints is the Roman Martyrology. Each day, usually around a dozen saints are listed. If there is no other feast, a priest may, among other choices, choose to say the Mass of any saint of the day listed in the Roman Martyrology (NO or TLM) --complete with Gloria in the TLM! I have offered Masses in honor of St. Moses on his feast for the last two years. And, yes, I have devotion to St. Moses. He was, after all, God’s friend!Is moses a saint with the day of September 4th, or just the Vatican II calender?
