Hello,
in YOUCAT (catechism for young), there is quotation of st. Saturnin on page 103, about Eucharist:
“Without Sunday’s Eucharist, we can’t live. Which you don’t know, that christian is here for Eucharist, and Eucharist is here for christian?”
It would be answer of Saturnin (+305), when he was indict of attendance forbidden Sunday’s meeting.
And my question is:
Which Saturnin were it?
And:
Where I can read anything about him, and his writing?
Thanks.

(PS: quotation (and maybe nor page) isn’t exact, because I translated it from my language’s version)

Look for Martyrs of Abitinae.

St. Saturninus (a priest) and his companions were martyred in Carthage in 304 A.D. They held the celebration of the Eucharist against the order of Emperors Diocletian and Maximian.

Some information is on p. 93 in Eucharist: A Guide for the Perplexed By Ralph N. McMichael, T&T Clark International, London and New York, 2010. ISBN-13: 978-0-567-03228-7
 
The English version says:
“Without the Sunday Eucharist, we cannot Live. Do you not know that the Christian exists for the Eucharist and the Eucharist for Christians?”

Answer of the martyr SATURNINUS (305) during cross-examination to the accusation that he had taken part in the forbidden assembly on Sunday.

Here’s a link to some info about St Saturninus
