February 19 — Not much has come down to us about the life of St. Gabin, but this little is enough to appreciate his virtue and his faith that we can take as a model. He lived in the third century.
Gabin is the brother of pope Caïus whose pontificated lasted from 283 until 296. They lived under Diocletian's empire. Gabin taught and proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Arrested and put in prison, with his daughter Saint Suzanne who refused to marry the emperor's son, Gabin succumbed to fatigue and hunger.
