    Saint Of The Day

    January 27


    St. Angela Merici

    Angela Merici, or Angela de Merici (Born Mrach 21 1474-January 27 1540) was an Italian religious leader and saint.

    She founded the Order of Ursulines in 1535 in Brescia. Saint Angela Merici was born in Desenzano del Garda, a small town on the southwestern shore of Lake Garda in Lombardy. She and her older sister, whom she dearly loved, Giana Maria, were left orphans when she was about ten years old.

    Together they came to live with their uncle in the town of Salo. Young Angela was very distressed when her sister suddenly died without receiving the last sacraments. She joined the Third Order Of St. Francis, and increased her prayers to God so her sister's soul could rest in peace.

    Legend says that she was satisfied by a vision of her sister in the company of Saints in Heaven.

    Angela's uncle dies when she was twenty years old and she returned to her previous home in Desenzano. Angela believed that better Christian education was needed for young girls and then dedicated her time teaching girls in her home which she had converted into a school.

    She later had another vision that revealed to her that she was to found an association of women who were to devote their lives to the religious training of young girls. This was a success ans she was invited to start another school in the neighboring city, Brescia. She happily accepted this offer.

    In 1524, while traveling to the Holy Land, St. Angela Merici became suddenly blind when she was on the island of Crete.

    Despite this, St. Angela continued her journey to the Holy places and was ostensibly cured of her blindness while praying to a crucifix at the same place where she was struck with blindness a few weeks before.

    In 1525, she came to Rome to gain the Indulgences of the Jubilee year. While doing this task, Pope Clement VII, who had heard of her virtue and success with her school, invited her to remain in Rome. St. Angela disliked notoriety, and soon she returned to Brescia.

    On November 25 1535, St. Angela Merici chose twelve girls and started the foundation of the "Company of St. Ursula" near the Church of St. Afra in a small house in Brescia. On March 18 1537, she was elected "Mother and Mistress" (Superior) of the order.

    She died on January 27 1540. Her body was clothed in the habit of a Franciscan tertiary and interred in the Church of St. Afra, Brescia.

    Saint Angela Merici was beatified in Rome on April 30 1768 by pope Clement XIII. She was later canonized on May 24 1807 by Pope Pius VII.

    St. Thomas Aquinas

    St. Thomas Aquinas, priest and doctor of the Church, patron of all universities and of students. His feast day is January 28th. He was born toward the end of the year 1226. He was the son of Landulph, Count Of Aquino, who, when St. Thomas was five years old, placed him under the care of the Benedictines of Monte Casino. His teachers were surprised at the progress he made, for he surpassed all his fellow pupils in learning as well as in the practice of virtue.

    When he became of age to choose his state of life, St. Thomas renounced the things of this world and resolved to enter the Order of St. Dominic in spite of the opposition of his family. In 1243, at the age of seventeen, he joined the Dominicans of Naples. Some members of his family resorted to all manner of means over a two year period to break his constancy. They even went so far as to send an impure woman to tempt him. But all their eeforts were in vain and St. Thomas persevered in his vocation. As a reward for his fidelity, God conferred upon him the gift of perfect chastity, which has merited for him the title of the "Angelic Doctor".

    After making his profession at Naples, he studied at Cologne under the celebrated St. Albert the Great. Here he was nicknamed the "dumb ox" because of his silent ways and huge size, but he was really a brilliant student. At the age of twenty two he was appointed to teach in the same city. At the same time, he also began to publish his first works. After four years he was sent to Paris. The saint was then a priest. At the age of thirty one, he received his doctorate.

    At Paris he was honored with the friendship of the King, St. Louis, with whom he frequently dined. In 1261, Urban IV called him to Rome where he was appointed to teach, but he positively declined to accept any ecclesiastical dignity. St. Thomas not only wrote (his writings filled twenty hefty tomes characterized by brilliance of thought and lucidity of language), but he preached often and with greatest fruit.

    Clement IV offered him the archbishopric of Naples, which he also refused. He left the great monument of his learning, the Summa Theologica, unfinished, for on his way to the second Council of Lyons, ordered there by Gregory X, he fell sick and died at the Cistercian monastery of Fossa Nuova in 1274.

    St. Thomas was one of the greatest and most influential theologians of all time and probably even, the greatest. He was canonized in 1323 and declared Doctor Of The Church by Pope Pius V.

    St. Constantius Of Perugia

    An entry in the Roman Martyrology under 29th January records:

    "At Perugia, in the time of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, St. Constantius, bishop and martyr, who together with his companions received the crown of martyrdom for the defence of the faith".

    St. Constantius is listed under the same date in the Hieronymian Martyrology and Perugia is given as his place of execution.

    The four known versions of the legend of St. Constantius are designated BHL 1937-40. (A copy of BHL 1937 is preserved under 29th January in the Leggendari del Duomo). These record the martyrdom under the Emperor Antoninus. He suffered torture under officials named Lucius and Carsilius, and then took refuge in the house of a certain Anastasius "ad locum qui dicitur Monticellus" (at the place called Monticellus), but both were subsequently arrested, together with their colleague Carpophorus.

    They managed to convert their oppressors and were released. However, other officials questioned St. Constantius as he traveled along the Via Salaria, and he was arrested when he admitted that he was trying to visit the Spoletan SS Concordius and Pontian. He was imprisoned in Assisi and then executed "in trivio Filgineato, non longe a civitate ipsa" (at the crossroads, not far from Foligno).

    An angel appeared to to a Perugian noble called Levianus, instructing him to find the body and to bury it with honor. He duly found it and took it for burial at a place "Areola", which presumably refers to the location of the present Church of San Costanzo, Perugia.

    St. Constantius, who is said to have been the first bishop of Perugia, was adopted as a patron saint of the city in 1310. His relics were apparently re-discovered in the church of San Costanzo in 1781 and translated to a new altar there in 1825.

    A church (12th Century) outside Porta del Cieco, Trevi, which stood on the presumed site of the martyrdom, was demolished in 1890. Virginia Ryan, the author of "Where the Cypress Rises", writes about her discovery of what seems to be the remains of this church in her garden there.

    The canons of the Duomo of Orvieto also had their own church of San Costanzo (dedicated to St. Constantisu), the foundations of wihch were discovered under the nave of the present Duomo in 1955-56.

    St. Martina Of Rome


    Martina of Rome was a Roman martyr under Emperor Alexander Severus. She is a patron Saint of Rome.

    She was martyred in 226, according to some authorities, more probably in 228, under the pontificate of Pope Urban I, according to others. The daughter of an ex-consul and orphaned at an early age, she so openly testified to her Christian faith that she could not escape the persecutions under Severus. Arrested and commanded to return to idolatry, she refused, whereupon she was subjected to various tortures and was finally beheaded.

    The relics of Martina were discovered on October 25, 1634 in a crypt of Santi Luca e Martina, situated near the Mamertine Prison and dedicated to the saint.Pope Urban VIII, who occupied the Holy See at that time, had the church repaired and, it would seem, composed the hymns which are sung at her office.

    St. John Bosco


    John Bosco (born Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco August 16 1815-January 31 1888) known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest, educator, and writer of the 19th century, who put into practice the convictions of his religion, dedicating his life to the betterment and education of street children, juvenile delinquents, and other disadvantaged youth and employing teaching methods based on love rather than punishment, a method known as the Salesian Preventive System.

    A follower of the spirituality and philosophy of Saint Francis de Sales, Bosco dedicated his works to him when he founded the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, a religious congregation of nuns dedicated to the care and education of poor girls.

    In 1876, Bosco founded a movement of laity, the Association of Salesian Cooperators, with the same eduational mission to the poor. In 1875, he published the Salesian Bulletin. The Bulletin has remanined in continuous publication, and is currently published in 50 different editions and 30 languages.

    Bosco established a network of organizations and centers to carry on his work. Following his beatification in 1929, he was canonized as a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Pius XI in 1934.

    Saint Brigid Of Ireland

    Brigid was probably born at Faughart near Dundalk, Louth, Ireland. Her parents were baptized by St. Patrick, with whom she developed a close friendship. According to legend, her father was Dubhthach, an Irish chieftain of Lienster, and her mother, Brocca, was a slave at his court.

    Even as a young girl she evinced an interest for a religious life and took the veil in her youth from St. Macaille at Croghan and probably was professed by St. Mel of Armagh, who is believed to have conferred abbatial authority on her.

    She settled with seven of her fellowe colleagues at the foot of Croghan Hill for a time and about the year 468, followed Mel to Meath. About the year 470 she founded a double monastery at Cill-Dara(Kildare) and was Abbess of the convent, the first in Ireland. The foundation developed into a center of learning and spirituality, and around it grew up the Cathedral city of Kildare.

    She founded a school of art at Kildare and it's illuminated manuscripts became famous, notably the Book of Kildare, which was praised as one of the finest of all illuminated Irish manuscripts before it's disappearance three centuries ago.

    Brigid was one of the most remarkable women of her times, and despite the numerous legendary, extravagant, and even fantastic miracles attributed to her, there is no doubt that her extraordinary spirituality, boundless charity, and compassion for those in distress were real.

    She dies at Kildare on February 1. The Mary of Gael, she is buried at Downpatrick with St. Columba and St. Patrick, with whom she is the patron of Ireland. Her name is sometimes Bridget and Bride.

    Saint Lawrence Of Canterbury


    Second Archbishop of Canterbury, died February 2 619. For the particulars of his life and pontificate we rely exclusively on details added by medieval writers being unsupported by historical evidence, though they may possibly embody ancient traditions.

    According to St. Bede, he was one of the original missionaries who left Rome with St. Augustine in 595 and finally landed in Thanet in 597. After St. Augustine had been consecrated he sent St. Lawrence back to Rome,to carry to the Pope the news of the conversion of King Ethelbert and his people, to announce his consecration, and to ask for direction on certain questions.

    In this passage of the historian St. Lawrence is referred to as presbyter, in distinction to Peter who is called monachus. From this it has been conjectured that he was a secular priest and not a monk; but this conclusion has been questioned by Benedictine writers such as Elmham in the middle Ages and Mabillon in later times.

    When St. Gregory had decided the questions asked, St. Lawrence returned to Britain bearing the replies, and he remained with St. Augustine sharing his work. That saint, shortly before his death which probably took place in 604, consecrated St. Lawrence as bishop, lest the infant Church should be left for a time without a pastor. Of the new archbishop's episcopate Bede writes:

    "Lawrence, having attained the dignity of archbishop, strove most vigorously to add to the foundations of the Church which he had seen so nobly laid and to forward the work by frequent words of holy exhortation and by the constant example of his devoted labour."

    The only extant genuine document relating to him is the fragment preserved by Bede of the letter he addressed to the Celtic bishops exhorting them to peace and unity with Rome. The death of King Ethelbert, in 616 was followed by a heathen reaction under his son Eadbald, and under the sons of Sebert who became kings of the East Saxons.

    Saints Mellitus and Justus, bishops of the newly-founded Sees of London and Rochester, took refuge with St. Lawrence at Canterbury and urged him to go to Gaul with them. They departed and he, discouraged by the undoing of St. Augustine's work, was preparing to follow them, when St. Peter appeared to him in a visions, blaming him for thinking of leaving his flock and inflicting stripes upon him.

    In the morning he hastened to the king, exhibiting his wounded body and relating his vision. This led to the conversion of the king, to the recall of Saints Mellitus and Justus, and to their perseverance in their work of evangelizing Kent and the neighbouring provinces. These events occurred about 617 or 618, and shortly afterwards St. Lawrence died and was buried near St. Augustine in the north porch of St, Peter's Abbey Church, afterwards known as St. Augustine's. His festival is observed in England on February 3.

    Saint Blaise


    Many Catholics might remember Saint Blaise's feast day because of the Blessing of the Throats that took place on this day. Two candles are blessed, held slightly open, and pressed against throat as the blessing is said. Saint Blaise's protection of those with throat troubles apparently comes from a legend that a boy was brought to him who had a fishbone stuck in his throat. The boy was about to die when St. Blaise healed him.

    Very few facts are known about Saint Blaise. We believe he was a bishop of Sebastea in Armenia who was martyred under the reign of Licinius in the early fourth century.

    The legend of his life that sprang up in the eighth century tell us that he was born into a rich and noble family who raised him as a Christian. After becoming a bishop, a new persecution of Christians began. He received a message from God to go into the hills to escape persecution. Men hunting in the mountains discovered a cave surrounded by wild animals who were sick. Among them, Blaise walked unafraid, curing them of their illnesses. Recognizing Blaise as a bishop, they captured him to take him back for trial. On the way back, he talked a wolf into releasing a pig that belonged to a poor woman. When Blaise was sentenced to be starved to death, the woman, in gratitude, sneaked into the prison with food and candles. Finally Blaise was killed by the governor.

    Blaise is the patron saint of wild animals because of his care for them and of those with throat maladies.

    Prayer:

    Saint Blaise, pray for us that we may not suffer from illnesses of the throat and pray that all who are suffering be healed by God's love.

    Amen

    February 4

    Saint Joseph Of Leonessa


    Saint Joseph of Leonessa (born Eufranio Desiderio 1566-died February 4, 1612) was born in Leonessa, a small town then in Umbria, now in Lazio. It is said that from his infancy he showed a remarkably religious bent of mind; he used to erect little altars and spend much time in prayer before them, and often he would gather his companions and induce them to pray with him.

    While a boy, he used to take the discipline on Fridays in company with the Confraternity of the Holy Savior. He was educated by his uncle, who had planned a suitable marriage fr him, but in his sixteenth year he fell sick of a fever and upon his recovery, without consulting his guardian, he joined the Capuchin reform of the Franciscan Order. He made his novitiate at the friary of the Carcerelle near Assisi.

    As a friar, he was remarkable for his great abstinence. In 1599, the year before the Jubilee year, he fasted the whole year by way of preparation for gaining the indulgence.

    In 1587 he was sent by the Minister General of his Order to Constantinople to minister to the Christians held captive there. Arriving there, he and his companions lodged in the Galata district in a derelict house of Benedictine monks, actually the Benedictine high school. The poverty in which the friars lived attracted the attention of the Turks, who went in numbers to see the new missionaries. He was very solicitous in ministering to the captive Christians in the galleys of the Ottoman Empire's navy. Every day he went into the city to preach, and he was at length thrown into prison and only released at the intervention of the Venetian agent.

    Urged on by zeal he at last sought to enter the palace to preach before Sultan Murad III, but he was seized and condemned to death. For three days he hung on the gallows, held up by two hooks driven through his right hand and foot; his legends states that he was then miraculously released by an angel.

    Returning to Italy, he took with him a Greek archbishop who had apostatized, and who was reconciled to the Church on their arrival in Rome. Joseph now took up the work of home missions in his native province, sometimes preaching six or seven times a day. In the Jubilee year of 1600, he gave the Lenten sermons at Otricoli, a small town through which crowds of pilgrims passed on their way to Rome.

    Many of them being very poor, Joseph supplied them with food, washed their clothes and cut their hair. At Todi, he cultivated with his own hands a garden, the produce of which was for the poor.

    He dies at Amatrice in 1612.

    He was canonized by Pope Benedict XIV in 1746. His feast day is kept on February 4, within the Franciscan Order. In his hometown, there is a church and sanctuary of San Giuseppe da Leonessa. The main street is called the Corso San Giuseppe after him. Devotion to him is mostly local to central Italy; Churches at Otricoli and San Lorenzo Nuovo contain paintings of him.

    Saint Agatha


    Although we have evidence that Agatha was venerated at least as far back as the 6th century, the only facts we have about her are that she was born in Sicily and died there a martyr.

    In the legend of her life, we are told that she belonged to a rich, important family. When she was young, she dedicated her life to God and resisted any men who wanted to marry her or have sex with her, One of these men, Quintian, was of a high enough rank that he felt he could force her to acquiesce. Knowing she was a Christian in a time of persecution, he had her arrested and brought before the judge....himself.

    He expected her to give in when faced with torture and death, but she simply affirmed her belief in God by praying. Legend tells us that Quintian imprisoned her in a brothel i order to get her to change her mind. Quintian brought her back before him after she had suffered a month of assault and humiliation in the brothel, but Agatha never wavered, proclaiming that her freedom came from Jesus.

    Quintian sent her to prison, instead of back to the brothel, a move intended to make her more afraid. When she continued to profess her faith in Jesus, Quintian had her tortured. He refused her any medical care but God gave her all the care she needed in the form of a vision of St. Peter. When she was tortured again, she dies after saying a final prayer.

    Because one of the tortures she supposedly suffered was to have her breasts cut off, she was often depicted carrying her breasts on a plate. It is thought blessing of the bread that takes place on her feast may have come from the mistaken notion that she was carrying loaves of bread.

    Because she was asked for help during the eruption of Mount Etna she is considered a protector against the outbreak of fire. She is also considered the patroness of bell makers for an unknown reason.

    Prayer:

    Saint Agatha, you suffered sexuala ssaultand indignity because of your faith. Help heal all those who are survivors of sexual assault and protect those women who are in danger.

    Amen.

    You said the Church had nothing to do with Western Civilization. Do I need to bring up your quote?

    Get off this thread, idiot.

    Wait, I see the angle in your most recent temper tantrum. You are crying because I've repeatedly exposed your religion for what it is. You are deeply emotionally connected to the tenants and such of your "religion", thus resulting in your temper tantrum.

    Hey, who would make a bunch of shit thread's about christian saints, aliens, conspiracies, and other crap besides a wack job like you. Not to mention you title yourself "SBR's Biggest Star", when every one here hate's you.

    I already proved you wrong, idiot.

    The Catholic Church had a HUGE hand in building Western Civilization. For you to try to deny it is just being moronic.

    If burning little kids, women , and non believers alive is your idea of building than you are wrong. Every single war they have been directly or indirectly responsible for after the fall of Ancient Rome. Have the catholic clergy ever contributed any thing of value?

    No, it's alway's been the intellectual's who have veered away from the church, mentally, as they cannot do it physically as the church controls the world with allies in key military, economic, and political positions. This is a whole other discussion but a strong point that you, naturally, over look.

    You are trying to brute force a lie just as the Church does and has always done. Even there myths are stolen and corrupted into materialistic garbage. Liars, thieves and serial killers.

    No coincidence the Enlightenment period saw a huge decline in the churches intellectual activity. They had a huge hand in it not through any virtuous traits, but because they had boat loads of money and controlled key position's. The only reason any good man had any affiliation with them was to keep his head.

    One of the greatest men in establishing the greatest country known to man;

    Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. -Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

    They [the clergy] believe that any portion of power confided to me, will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly; for I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. But this is all they have to fear from me: and enough, too, in their opinion.
    -Thomas Jefferson to Dr. Benjamin Rush, Sept. 23, 1800

    History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
    -Thomas Jefferson to Alexander von Humboldt, Dec. 6, 1813.

    Jefferson could just as easily have been speaking about Protestantism.

    I like Philly, he's my Pa home boy.

    This is a free forum, he can post what he wants. If you don't like what he posts, don't look, it's that simple.
