His mother Lived with them and was equally difficult, which proved a constant challenge to St. Monica. She had three children; Augustine, Navigius, and Perpetua. Through her patience and prayers, she was able to convert her husband and his mother to the Catholic faith in 370· He died a year later. Perpetua and Navigius entered the religious Life. St. Augustine was much more difficult, as she had to pray for him for 17 years, begging the prayers of priests who, for a while, tried to avoid her because of her persistence at this seemingly hopeless endeavor. One priest did console her by saying, “it is not possible that the son of so many tears should perish.”

]]> Bl Karl Leisner was born on 28 February 1915 in Rees, Germany. He studied theology in the Diocese of Munster and tried to establish Catholic youth groups, but since the Nazis sought to control all youth work, he had to take teen-agers on “camping” excursions to Belgium and the Netherlands, where they could freely discuss the Church’s teaching. His studies were interrupted by six months of compulsory work service in agriculture, but despite Nazi opposition, he organized Sunday Mass attendance for his fellow workers. The Gestapo raided his home and took his diaries and papers. These documents, carefully preserved in Nazi archives tell how the spiritual young man became a heroic religious leader.

The post St Louis of France appeared first on Cradio.

]]> In Louis IX of France were united the qualities of a just and upright sovereign, a fearless warrior, and a saint. This crusading king was a living embodiment of the Christianity of the time: he lived for the welfare of his subjects and the glory of God. His father was Louis VIII, of the Capet line, and his mother was the redoubtable Queen Blanche, daughter of King Alfonso of Castile and Eleanor of England. Louis, the oldest son,* was born at Poissy on the Seine, a little below Paris, on April 25,1214, and there was christened. Much of his virtue is attributed to his mother’s care, for the Queen devoted herself to her children’s education. Louis had tutors who made him a master of Latin, taught him to speak easily in public and write with dignity and grace. He was instructed in the arts of war and government and all other kingly accomplishments. But Blanche’s primary concern was to implant in him a deep regard and awe for everything related to religion. She used often to say to him as he was growing up, “I love you my dear son, as much as a mother can love her child; but I would rather see you dead at my feet than that you should commit a mortal sin.”

The post St Maximilian Kolbe appeared first on Cradio.

]]> St Maximilian Kolbe was born on the 7 August 1894 in Poland and became a Franciscan. He contracted tuberculosis and, though he recovered, he remained frail all his life. Before his ordination as a priest, Maximilian founded the Immaculata Movement devoted to Our Lady. After receiving a doctorate in theology, he spread the Movement through a magazine entitled “The Knight of the Immaculata” and helped form a community of 800 men, the largest in the world. Maximilian went to Japan where he built a comparable monastery and then on to India where he furthered the Movement. In 1936 he returned home because of ill health. After the Nazi invasion in 1939, he was imprisoned and released for a time. But in 1941 he was arrested again and sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Kolbe offered himself in place of a young husband and father. And he was the last to die, enduring two weeks of starvation, thirst, and neglect. He died on the 14 August 1941 and was later canonised by John Paul II in 1982. Maximilian is the patron saint of drug addicts and political prisoners.

]]> Not much is known of his early life, but we do know that Hippolytus, a Greek, was a pupil of Irenaeus, who was a disciple of Polycarp, who was disciple of John the beloved disciple of Jesus. He became the head of a respected school of theology and a bishop in or around Rome. Subsequently he came into conflict with Pope Callistus (Calixtus), who was elected pope in 217 A.D. , but whom he considered heretical. He established himself as an anti-pope (i.e., one who claims to exercise the office of pope without the valid authority to do so) and remained in schism (though not a heretic) until the year 235 A.D. In this position he prepared a liturgical handbook, “Apostolike Paradosis” [“paradosis” is a Greek word meaning to “hand on the Word of God” which can also be translated as “tradition”], which contains the earliest evidence for the Roman Eucharistic prayer used in the Catholic Mass. His schism continued after the martyrdom of Pope Callistus in 222 A.D.

She was known for being the Foundress of an order of nuns now called “Poor Clares.” When she heard St. Francis of Assisi preach, her heart burned with a great desire to imitate Francis and to live a poor humble life for Jesus. She ran away from home, and in a little chapel outside Assisi, gave herself to God.  St Clare and her sisters wore no shoes, ate no meat, lived in a poor house, and kept silent most of the time. She became sick and suffered great pains for many years, but she said that no pain could trouble her. She died on the 11 August 1253 and was canonised by Pope Alexander IV two years later. St Clare is the patron saint of sore eyes.

]]> St Lawrence was born in Huesca, Spain. Little is known about him, but his martyrdom had a deep and lasting impression in the early Church. He was a Roman deacon under Pope St Sixtus II. He was responsible for giving help to the poor and the needy as well as the material goods of the Church. When Lawrence was arrested he gave out money to the poor, widows and the orphans of Rome. The prefect of Rome heard about this and asked Lawrence to bring him the treasures to maintain his forces. Lawrence did bring the treasures of the Church but he brought the blind, lame, maimed, leprous, orphaned and widowed persons. This made the prefect was so angry that he had Lawrence put to death.

]]> At an early age he was made a cleric. We do not know when, or why he was released from clerical obligations. He was brought up in the household of Juan Velásquez de Cuellar, contador mayor to Ferdinand and Isabella, and in his suite probably attended the court from time to time, though not in the royal service. This was perhaps the time of his greatest dissipation and laxity. He was affected and extravagant about his hair and dress, consumed with the desire of winning glory, and would seem to have been sometimes involved in those darker intrigues, for which handsome young courtiers too often think themselves licensed. How far he went on the downward course is still unproved. The balance of evidence tends to show that his own subsequent humble confessions of having been a great sinner should not be treated as pious exaggerations. But we have no details, not even definite charges. In 1517 a change for the better seems to have taken place; Velásquez died and Ignatius took service in the army. The turning-point of his life came in 1521.

The life of Saint Leopold Mandic is characterised by the contrast between his physical frailty and his spiritual strength.

He suffered from abdominal pains, and was gradually deformed by chronic arthritis in later life, making his frame stooped and his hands gnarled, giving him much pain. He also suffered from a stammer in his speech.

It must be mentioned here, however, that long before this time, pious women were affiliated with the order of Carmel, as, for example, Blessed Angela of Bohemia, Blessed Jeanne of Tulouse, in 1268, and her companion, Anne of Tulouse. Bl John Soreth soon established another Convent of Carmelite nuns in Liege, in 1463, over which he placed Blessed Frances d’Amboise, former Duchess of Brittany, who shed new lustre on the Order of Carmel, by the holiness of her life.

At the age of 22, she desired to enter a convent, but unfortunately, her parents did not consent and desired her to marry. However, the young man whom had proposed to Maria had died before the wedding, and Maria entered the Sisters Crucified Adorers of the Eucharist on the first of June 1891, and took the name Sister Maria of the Passion in Barra. She then served as a novice mistress and a spiritual guide for the sisters, and worked in the kitchen, laundry, and as porter. Blessed Maria’s life of charity, deep prayer, and devotion to her Congregation and the Eucharist is known.

The Gospel lists of the Twelve (Matthew 10, 2-4; Mark 3, 14-19; Luke 6, 13-16) all include James and John among the first four, and from one of them (Mark 3,17) we learn that Jesus nicknamed them ‘the sons of thunder’ – perhaps justified by the story (Luke 9, 51-56) that they once wished to call down fire from heaven to destroy a village which had refused them hospitality.

“Eternal praise be to you, my Lord Jesus Christ, for the time you endured on the cross the greatest torments and sufferings for us sinners. The sharp pain of your wounds fiercely penetrated even to your blessed soul and cruelly pierced your most sacred heart till finally you sent forth your spirit in peace, bowed you head, and humbly commended yourself into the hands of God your Father, and your whole body remained cold in death. Blessed may you be, my Lord Jesus Christ.

For our salvation you allowed your side and heart to be pierced with a lance; and from that side water and your precious blood flowed out abundantly for our redemption. Unending honor be to you, my Lord Jesus Christ. On the third day you rose from the dead and appeared to those you had chosen.

And after forty days you ascended into heaven before the eyes of many witnesses, and there in heaven you gathered together in glory those you love, whom you had freed from hell. Rejoicing and eternal praise be to you, my Lord Jesus Christ, who sent the Holy Spirit into the hearts of your disciples and increased the boundless love of God in their spirits. Blessed are you and praiseworthy and glorious for ever, my Lord Jesus”.

]]> She is called “the Penitent”. St. Mary was given the name ‘Magdalen’ because, though a Jewish girl, she lived in a Gentile town called Magdale, in northern Galilee, and her culture and manners were those of a Gentile. St. Luke records that she was a notorious sinner, and had seven devils removed from her. She was present at Our Lord’s Crucifixion, and with Joanna and Mary, the mother of James and Salome, at Jesus’ empty tomb. Fourteen years after Our Lord’s death, St. Mary was put in a boat by the Jews without sails or oars – along with Sts. Lazarus and Martha, St. Maximin (who baptized her), St. Sidonius (“the man born blind”), her maid Sera, and the body of St. Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin. They were sent drifting out to sea and landed on the shores of Southern France, where St. Mary spent the rest of her life as a contemplative in a cave known as Sainte-Baume. She was given the Holy Eucharist daily by angels as her only food, and died when she was 72. St. Mary was transported miraculously, just before she died, to the chapel of St. Maximin, where she received the last sacraments.

Of him it can be truly said that he possessed the special gifts that adorned the Churches’ first Apostles and men were moved to the practice of virtue more by his example than by his words. Especially noticeable in Laurence’s approach to life was his spirit of fortitude which enabled him to announce the Good News fearlessly and constantly, even among the very Jews of Rome.

The first Carmelites were Christian hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the late 12th and early to mid 13th centuries. They built a chapel in the midst of their hermitages which they dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, whom they conceived of in chivalric terms as the “Lady of the place.”

]]> St. Bonaventure, known as “the seraphic doctor,” was born at Bagnorea in Tuscany, in 1221. He received the name of Bonaventure in consequence of an exclamation of St. Francis of Assisi, when, in response to the pleading of the child’s mother, the saint prayed for John’s recovery from a dangerous illness, and, foreseeing the future greatness of the little John, cried out “O Buona ventura”-O good fortune!

At the age of twenty-two St. Bonaventure entered the Franciscan Order, and went on to become a Cardinal, a theologian and philosopher, and one of the great Doctors of the Church.

To you I have recourse in the dangers that daily surround me. Shield me against my selfishness and my indifference to God and to my neighbor. Inspire me to imitate you in all things. May your blessing be with me always, so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His kingdom.

Graciously obtain for me from God those favors and graces which I need so much in the trials, miseries, and afflictions of life. Your heart was always full of love, compassion, and mercy toward those who were afflicted or troubled in any way. You never dismissed without consolation and assistance anyone who had recourse to you. I therefore invoke your powerful intercession, confident in the hope that you will hear my prayers and obtain for me the special grace and favor I earnestly implore (mention your favor).

Help me, great St. Benedict, to live and die as a faithful child of God, to run in the sweetness of His loving will, and to attain the eternal happiness of heaven. Amen.”

]]> St John of Cologne was born in the 16th Century in Cologne, Germany. This Dominican priest is best known for the victory of his martyrdom, but it was his lifelong training in fidelity, lived through the Dominican charism, which prepared him for this final conquest. A group of militant Calvinists along with a band of pirates began raiding Dutch villages, particularly focusing on the arrest and capture of the Catholic clergy. Upon hearing of their arrest, John immediately disguised himself and sought to bring these priests the consolation of the sacraments. For several days he was successful, but was eventually captured along with three other priests. These nineteen were imprisoned in Gorkum from June 26 until July 6, undergoing much abuse as they were asked to deny the tenets of the Catholic faith. He was hanged on the 9 July 1572 and was canonised by Pope Pius IX in 1867.

The pagan historian Tacitus and St Clement of Rome tell of a night of horror (August 15, 64 A.D.) when in the imperial parks Christians were put into animal skins and hunted, were brutally attacked, and were made into living torches to light the road for Nero’s chariot. From 64 to 314 “Christian” was synonymous with “execution victim.”

]]> St Cyril of Alexandria was born in the year 376 in Alexandria, Egypt. He is recognised as being a great teacher of the Church who was the Archbishop of Alexandria. Cyril pillaged and closed the churches of the Novatian heretics (who required those who denied the faith to be rebaptized), participated in the deposing of St John Chrysostom and confiscated Jewish property, expelling the Jews from Alexandria in retaliation for their attacks on Christians. Cyril’s importance for theology and Church history lies in his championing the cause of orthodoxy against the heresy of Nestorius, who taught that in Christ there were two persons, one human and one divine. St Cyril died in 444 and became the Doctor of the Church in 1883. He is the patron saint of Alexandria.

The post St Barnabas appeared first on Cradio.

]]> St Barnabas was originally known as Joseph. He is styled as an Apostle in Holy Scripture, and, like St. Paul, ranked by the Church with the Twelve, though not one of them. He was born of Jewish parents in the Island of Cyprus about the beginning of the Christian Era. He was given the name Barnabas, which means son of encouragement. He was known as a peacemaker because the Apostles were suspicious of Paul after his conversion and Barnabas was the only one who saw him as being sincere. From there Barnabas and Paul became missionaries and were sent to Crprus Antioch to establish strong Christian communities. They both departed after a disagreement but we believe that the rift between them was healed. Barnabas is the patron saint of Cyprus, Antioch and invoked as peacemaker.

]]> St William of Rochester is the patron saint of adopted children. He was born in Perth, Scotland to a well-to-do burgher. He went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem with his adopted son David who murdered him near Rochester, England. When a mentally deranged woman found his body and cared for it, she was miraculously cured of her mental problems. Reportedly miracles occurred at his grave, and it is said that he was canonised by Pope Alexander IV in 1256, though there is no record of such a canonisation. There is a shrine dedicated to William at Rochester Cathedral.

]]> St Rita of Cascia was born in 1381 in Roccaporena, Italy. She had a great desire was to become a nun, but, in obedience to the will of her parents, she, at the age of twelve, married a man extremely cruel and ill-tempered. For eighteen years she was a model wife and mother. When her husband was murdered she tried in vain to dissuade her twin sons from attempting to take revenge; she appealed to Heaven to prevent such a crime on their part, and they were taken away by death, reconciled to God. She applied for admission to the Augustinian convent at Cascia, but, being a widow, was refused. By continued entreaties, and, as is related, by Divine intervention, she gained admission, received the habit of the order and in due time her profession. As a religious she was an example for all, excelled in mortifications, and was widely known for the efficacy of her prayers. St Rita died on the 22 May 1457 and was canonised by Pope Leo XIII in 1900. She is the Patroness of impossible causes.
