"The Seed is the Word of God"

"Nothing is so consoling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass, said as it is among us. I could attend Mass forever, and not be tired. It is not a mere form of words; it is a great action. The greatest action that can be on earth. It is. . .the vocation of the Eternal."

-- John Henry Cardinal Newman

Commemorating
The Apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes

On February 11, 1858, one of the most famous of all Mary's apparitions began. Our Lady appeared to a 14 year old peasant girl named Bernadette Soubrious.

She was the oldest daughter of one of the poorest families in the town. Her father was out of work. Bernadette was sickly and had to be kept from the cold and working too hard. Despite this, she was allowed one day to go collecting firewood with two friends. The people of that time cooked and heated their houses with firewood. She and her friends passed by the rock of Massabielle (big rock in the local dialect) a craggy outcropping in a wild and deserted part of the countryside.

After a little while, Bernadettes' friends decided to cross the river that ran near the rock. The water was cold, and Bernadette didn't want to get her feet wet. She stayed on the other side for a while and then sat down to take off her shoes, because she didn't want to be left behind. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise, 'like wind.' Turning she saw 'a beautiful Lady' dressed in white with a rosary hanging from her arm, standing in a small cleft or grotto in the rock. The Lady smiled at her, beckoned her to approach and they prayed the Rosary together. Bernadette prayed and the Lady joined in for the Glory Be.

At first, when she said what she had seen, she was not believed, and her mother said she couldn't visit the site again. Bernadette obeyed her mother. A few day later, some friends who had heard about it, asked Madame Soubrious if Bernadette could go back to the grotto. Then her mother gave permission.

On February 18, the Lady asked Bernadette to come for 15 days. Day after day, ever time Bernadette went to the rock and the Lady appeared, she told Bernadette a little more. More and more people went with Bernadette. They did not see the Lady, but they could tell that Bernadette was seeing something very special and beautiful, because Bernadette looked so happy and beautiful herself when the Lady was there.

The Lady told her that we all must, "Pray for the conversion of sinners," have "Penance, penance, penance!," and "Go tell the priests to have people come here in a procession and to have a chapel built here." On February 25, two weeks after the beginning of Her appearances, the Lady of the grotto made a new spring of water well up near Bernadette. The Lady told her to drink from it and wash herself in it.

That spring is still there today. Many people go to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes and take away Lourdes water. Many people have been healed of all kinds of illnesses when they visited the shrine at Lourdes and either drank the water or bathed in it.

Our Lady appeared to Bernadette 18 times. Finally on March 25, the Lady told Bernadette "I am the Immaculate Conception." Bernadette didn't know what these words meant, but she very carefully remembered them and repeated them to herself so that she would remember them correctly. Bernadette went straight to the priest's house and said the words to the village priest. He knew what they meant and was very surprised.

The Immaculate Conception means that Mary was created in her mother's womb and born without sin. Of course, anyone who was going to be the Mother of God, and carry Jesus in her womb would have to be without sin herself. Mary is the only person in the whole world, besides Jesus who was born without Original Sin. The declaration to the Church and the world, that Mary was the Immaculate Conception had only been made 4 years before Bernadette heard it from the Lady herself.

Since Bernadette could not have made up words that she didn't understand, it became obvious that the Lady in the Grotto was the Virgin Mary herself, and that the little village of Lourdes had been greatly honored by her appearances there. Many millions of people have been to Lourdes in the 140 years since the Apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes. The testimonies of renewed faith and miraculous healing would fill many books.

EPISTOLA - EPISTLE ¤ 2 Corinthians 11:19-33; 12:1-9

   

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios.

Fratres: Libénter suffértis insipiéntes: cum sitis ipsi sapiéntes. Sustinétis enim si quis vos in servitútem rédigit, si quis dévorat, si quis áccipit, si quis extóllitur, si quis in fáciem vos cædit. Secúndum ignobilitátem dico, quasi nos infírmi fuérimus in hac parte. In quo quis audet (in insipiéntia dico) áudeo et ego: Hebræi sunt, et ego: Israëlítæ sunt, et ego: Semen Abrahæ sunt, et ego: Minístri Christi sunt, (ut minus sápiens dico) plus ego: in labóribus plúrimis, in carcéribus abundántius, in plagis supra modum, in mórtibus frequénter. A Judæis quínquies quadragénas, una minus, accépi. Ter virgis cæsus sum, semel lapidátus sum, ter naufrágium feci, nocte et die in profúndo maris fui, in itinéribus sæpe, perículis flúminum, perículis latrónum, perículis ex génere, perículis ex géntibus, perículis in civitáte, perículis in solitúdine, perículis in mari, perículis in falsis frátribus: in labóre, et ærúmna, in vigíliis multis, in fame et siti, in jejúniis multis, in frígore et nuditáte, præter illa, quæ extrínsecus sunt, instántia mea quotidiána, sollicitúdo ómnium Ecclesiárum. Quis infirmátur, et ego non infírmor? quis scandalizátur, et ego non uror? Si gloriári opórtet: quæ infirmitátis meæ sunt, gloriábor. Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, qui est benedíctus in sæcula, scit quod non méntior. Damásci præpósitus gentis Arétæ regis, custodiébat civitátem Damascenórum, ut me comprehénderet: et per fenéstram in sporta dimíssus sum per murum, et sic effúgi manus ejus. Si gloriári opórtet (non éxpedit quidem): véniam autem ad visiónes, et revelatiónes Dómini. Scio hóminem in Christo ante annos quatuórdecim, sive in córpore néscio, sive extra corpus néscio, Deus scit, raptum hujúsmodi usque ad tértium cælum. Et scio hujúsmodi hóminem, sive in córpore, sive extra corpus néscio, Deus scit: quóniam raptus est in paradísum: et audívit arcána verba, quæ non licet hómini loqui. Pro hujúsmodi gloriábor, pro me autem nihil gloriábor nisi in infirmitátibus meis. Nam, et si volúero gloriári, non ero insípiens: veritátem enim dicam: parco autem, ne quis me exístimet supra id, quod videt in me, aut áliquid audit ex me. Et ne magnitúdo revelatiónum extóllat me, datus est mihi stímulus carnis meæ ángelus Sátanæ, qui me colaphízet. Propter quod ter Dóminum rogávi ut discéderet a me: et dixit mihi: Súfficit tibi grátia mea: nam virtus in infirmitáte perfícitur. Libénter ígitur gloriábor in infirmitátibus meis, ut inhábitet in me virtus Christi.

   

Lesson from the Epistle of the Blessed Apostle Saint Paul to the Corinthians.

Brethren, you gladly suffer the foolish, whereas yourselves are wise. For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you in the face. I speak according to dishonor, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also. They are Hebrews; so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They are the seed of Abraham: so am I. They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise), I am more: in many more labors, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods; once I was stoned; thrice I suffered shipwreck; a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea. In journeying often in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren: in labor and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness; besides those things which are without, my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not. At Damascus the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes to apprehend me; and through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and so escaped his hands. If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed): but I will come to the visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not; God knoweth): such an one rapt even to the third heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell; God knoweth): that he was caught up into paradise; and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter. For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities. For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or anything he heareth from me. And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me. For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me. And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

GRADUALE / GRADUAL ¤ Psalm 82:19, 14

   

S ciant gentes, quóniam nomen tibi Deus: tu solus Altíssimus super omnem terram. Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam: et sicut stípulam ante fáciem venti.

  

Let the Gentiles know that God is Thy name: Thou alone art the Most High over all the earth. O my God, make them like a wheel, and as stubble before the face of the wind.

Tractus / Tract: ¤ Psalm 59:4-6

   

C ommovísti, Dómine, terram, et conturbásti eam. Sana contritiónes ejus, quia mota est. Ut fúgiant a fácie arcus: ut liberéntur elécti tui.

  

T hou hast moved the earth, O Lord, and hast troubled it. Heal Thou the breaches thereof, for it hath been moved. That Thy elect may flee from before the bow: that they may be delivered.

EVANGELIUM / GOSPEL - Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 8:4-15

   

† Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam.
I n illo témpore: Cum turba plúrima convenírent, et de civitátibus properárent ad Jesum, dixit per similitúdinem: Exiit, qui séminat, semináre semen suum: et dum séminat, áliud cécidit secus viam, et conculcátum est, et vólucres cæli comedérunt illud. Et áliud cécidit supra petram: et natum áruit, quia non habébat humórem. Et áliud cécidit inter spinas, et simul exórtæ spinæ suffocavérunt illud. Et áliud cécidit in terram bonam: et ortum fecit fructum céntuplum. Hæc dicens clamábat: Qui habet aures audiéndi, áudiat. Interrogábant autem eum discípuli ejus; quæ esset hæc parábola. Quibus ipse dixit: Vobis datum est nosse mystérium regni Dei, céteris autem in parábolis: ut vidéntes non vídeant, et audiéntes non intélligant. Est autem hæc parábola: Semen est verbum Dei. Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui áudiunt: deínde venit diábolus, et tollit verbum de corde eórum, ne credéntes salvi fiant. Nam qui supra petram: qui cum audíerint, cum gáudio suscípiunt verbum: et hi radíces non habent: qui ad tempus credunt, et in témpore tentatiónis recédunt. Quod autem in spinas cécidit: hi sunt, qui audiérunt, et a sollicitudínibus, et divítiis, et voluptátibus vitæ eúntes, suffocántur, et non réferunt fructum. Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt, qui in corde bono, et óptimo audiéntes verbum rétinent, et fructum áfferunt in patiéntia.

     

† Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Blessed Apostle Saint Luke

At that time, when a very great multitude was gathered together and hastened out of the cities unto Him, He spoke by a similitude: The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And other some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it. And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundred fold. Saying these things, He cried out, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And His disciples asked Him what this parable might be. To whom He said, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. Now they upon the rock are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no roots, for they believe for awhile, and in time of temptation they fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit. But that on the good ground are they who in a good and very good heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.

Homily For SEXAGESIMA SUNDAY

Qui legit, intelligat

" The Medium and the Message"

There can be no fruit from the conciliar church, especially as it aligns itself with a heretical organization such as the World Council of Churches which seeks to please man and his own beliefs while claiming to be Christian in patronizing God in a humanistic, ecumenical way. The betrayal of Christ's Mystical Body continues full force as the Judases have seized what is rightfully God's and have contradicted all His Mystical Bride proclaimed for nearly 2000 years. The message has been altered to suit the medium and mammon has won out.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

"The sower went out to sow his seed," Jesus says in today's Gospel ( Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 8:5 ). And He explains to His disciples that the seed is the word of God, which must take root in men's hearts through faith. The Lord commanded His Apostles: "....Go into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be condemned...." ( Blessed Apostle Saint Mark 16:16 ). The Church is sent to preach the Gospel. She teaches in obedience to the command of Christ, and by His authority. But the devil takes away the word from men's hearts. How does he do it? Let us observe!

For close to two millennia the Church, desiring that all men be saved, took Christ at His word, sending forth missionaries, preaching the Gospel of salvation, demanding faith of her hearers, and baptizing those who believed. That is, until Vatican II, which initiated forty years of "fruitful collaboration" with the religions of this world, including the heretical Protestant sects.

At Vatican II the Protestant sects were dignified with the title, "the churches". Since that time the Catholic Church has become, not just another "church" among the "churches", but even another "faith" among the "faiths" - the various world religions - which are judged as "authentic" and treated as equals of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ. The Catholic mind has been changed. The tendency towards this way of thinking was already deplored by the English Catholic poet and historian, Hilaire Belloc, who died in 1953:


"The fiction that the Catholic Church is a sect," he wrote, "like any of the various bodies around it in nations of Protestant culture, that She is a sect, like the Mormons, or the Baptists, or the Quakers, is nourished by a score of conventions; by that false phrase 'the Churches'; by the offensive adjunct, 'Roman' - as though the Faith were but one fashion in a hundred Catholicisms, or as if Catholicism were a thing split into numerous factions… Yet the falsehood is so firmly fixed and so long established here th at it has recently begun to affect the Catholic body itself. The position is half accepted by them, though in their hearts they know it is a lie. For the line of cleavage does not fall between the various groups, Catholic, Agnostic, Evangelical, or what not, but between the Catholic Church and all else. She is unique, and at issue with the world" ( The Point, August, 1958 ).


The World Council of Churches, founded in 1948 in Amsterdam, is the largest ecumenical organization in the world, comprising at present 300 denominations with a membership of 400 million people. Tolerant of all theological points of view, its policy is that "Ecumenism exists by holding contradictions together." Prior to the "conciliar popes" and Vatican II, Catholics were forbidden to have anything to do with the WCC or any similar organization. Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Mortalium Animos ( January 6, 1928 ) expressed the Catholic viewpoint:


"Now, such efforts can meet with no kind of approval among Catholics. They presuppose the erroneous view that all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy, inasmuch as all give expression, under various forms, to that innate sense which leads men to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule... to favor this opinion, therefore, and to encourage such undertakings, is tantamount to abandoning the religion revealed by God… This being so, it is clear that the Apostolic See can by no means take part in these assemblies, nor is it in any way lawful for Catholics to give to such enterprises their encouragement or support. If they did so, they would be giving countenance to a false Christianity quite alien to the one Church of Christ."


The Apostolic See can by no means take part in these assemblies? On Thursday, June 16, 2005, Benedict XVI gave a warm greeting at the Vatican to the Rev. Samuel Kobia, the new General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, even as he denied Catholic unity, declaring: "The commitment of the Catholic Church to the search for Christian unity is irreversible." On the occasion of the recent General Assembly of the WCC, Benedict sent the following message through Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity:


"Mindful of our shared baptismal faith in the Triune God, the Catholic Church and the World Council of Churches seek ways to cooperate ever more effectively in the task of witnessing to God's divine love. After forty years of fruitful collaboration, we look forward to continuing this journey of hope and promise, as we intensify our endeavors towards reaching that day when Christians are united in proclaiming the Gospel message of salvation to all… Assuring you of my spiritual closeness and reaffirming the Catholic Church's intention to continue a solid partnership with the World Council of Churches in its important contribution to the ecumenical movement, I invoke God's abundant blessings of peace and joy upon all of you" ( Zenit.org, Feb. 14, 2006 ).

Well, if "the medium is the message," as said Marshall McLuhan, then we should take a good look also at the theology of the "medium," Walter Cardinal Kasper, to whom the message was entrusted by Benedict.


"For Kasper… what are Jesus' miracles? 'These non-historical stories,' he writes, 'are statements of belief in the salvific meaning of the person and message of Jesus.' In any case, for Walter Kasper, also as to his assumption that the miracles did occur - which, like all of the 'new theologians' he firmly doubts - Jesus could not have performed miracles simply because he was not God. Jesus, he says, never advanced such 'claims,' and at Caesarea Philippi, Peter merely confessed, 'You are the Messiah,' and Jesus also proclaimed this before the Sanhedrin. But when the first Christian community confessed that Jesus is the Son of God, it did not in fact mean that Jesus really is the Son of God, but only wished 'to express the idea that God manifests and communicates Himself in an absolute and definite way in the story of Jesus'" ( www.sspxasia.com/Documents/SiSiNoNo/2001_November/Cardinals_With_No_Faith.htm ).


Do men like this represent God and His holy Church, or is not the devil at work stealing the seed of the word from the hearts of millions of unwary Catholics, through the treachery of Vatican wolves in sheep's clothing? "Watch and pray,""that you may not enter into temptation" (Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew 26:41 ).

Lord, preserve in us the seed of the word You have planted through Your holy Gospel, that we may persevere in the true faith until You come. Amen!

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PREFACE For the Most Holy Trinity

   

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancta, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus. Qui cum unigenito Filio: tuo et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in uninus singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitae substantiae. Quo denim de tua Gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hod de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verare, sempitiernaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essential unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim, quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotodie, una voce dicentes: SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS

  

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, ever-lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying:: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...

COMMUNIO / COMMUNION ¤ Psalm 42:4
   

Introíbo ad altáre Dei, ad Deum qui lætíficat juventútem meam.

  I will go in to the altar of God: to God Who giveth joy to my youth.

POSTCOMMUNIO / POSTCOMMUNION

Prayer for the Universal Church

Pray for those who have been wandering and wondering in the conciliar desert for lo over 40 years. Pray for the conversion of the Novus Ordo hierarchy from the highest to the lowest echelons of the clergy, who, in the same manner as the Arian bishops, have apostasized from the True Church which Jesus Christ established on the Rock of Peter. Pray that they will wake from their devastating slumber, cast off their lukewarmness, and demand the unadulterated dogmatic Faith with no novelties, no ecumenism, no modernism, no anything but truly Catholic, embodied by true shepherds who will mandate the only possible Catholic worship - the true and continual sacrifice: the Traditional Latin Mass, set in stone for all time by Pope Saint Pius V.

O God, our refuge and our strength, smite those failing to lead Thy Holy Church,
by and through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel; the Immaculate Virgin Mother Mary; Beloved Saint Joseph; Thy blessed apostles Peter and Paul; and all the saints.
Hear our fervent prayers for more holy priests consecrated according to Thy will;
Provide Your Church leadership with the courage to convert all heretics, pagans, false idolaters and false god worshipers, and especially non-Catholics who refuse to accept the One True Church founded by Your Son and our Redeemer, Christ Jesus;
We pray for a sacred reformation of our Holy Mother Church - according to Your servant, Pope Pius XII in his Apostolic Constitution Sacramentum Ordinis
.
We pray for these intercessions through the mercy and grace of Your Son, our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
Amen.

Prayer for Heretics

   

Orémus et pro hæréticis: ut Deus et Dóminus noster éruat eos ab erróribus univérsis; et ad sanctam matrem Ecclésiam Cathólicam, atque Apostólicam revocáre dignétur. Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui salvas omnes, et néminem vis períre réspice ad ánimas diabólica fraude decéptas; ut omni hærética pravitáte depósita, errántium corda resipíscant, et ad veritátis tuæ rédeant unitátem. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Let us pray for heretics, that our Lord and God may deliver them from all their errors, and vouchsafe to recall them to their holy Mother, the Catholic and Apostolic Church. Almighty, eternal God, Who dost save all, and willest not that any should perish, look upon the souls deceived by diabolical fraud, that, abandoning all heretical depravity, the hearts of the erring may regain sanity and return to the unity of truth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.

CALENDAR of the SAINTS

11 February 2007 Anno Domini

Saint Ampelius

Saint Anselm of Rot

Saint Ardanus of Tournus

Saint Benedict of Aniane
Birth name : Witiza

Visigoth son of Aigul, Count of Maguelone. Educated at the court of Pepin. Courtier and cup-bearer to King Pepin and Charlemagne. Part of the 773 campaign of Charlemagne; narrowly escaped drowning in the Tesin near Pavia while trying to save his brother.

Benedictine monk at Saint Sequanus where he took the name Benedict. Lived two and one half years on bread and water, sleeping on the bare ground, praying through the night, and going barefoot.

In the Frankish empire, monasticism suffered lay ownership and the attacks of the Vikings. Monastic discipline decayed. In 779 Benedict founded the Aniane monastery on his own land; the monks did manual labor, copied manuscripts, lived on bread and water except on Sundays and great feast days when they added wine or milk if they received any in alms. The results of his austere rule were disappointing, so he adopted the Benedictine Rule and the monastery grew. He then reformed and inaugurated other houses.

Bishop Felix of Urgel proposed that Christ was not the natural, but only the adoptive son of God (Adoptionism); Benedict opposed this heresy, wrote against it, and assisted in the Synod of Frankfurt in 794.

Emperor Louis the Pious built the abbey of Maurmunster as a model abbey for Benedict in Alsace and then Cornelimunster near Aachen, then made Benedict director of all the monasteries in the empire. The monk instituted widespread reforms, though because of opposition they were not as drastic as he had wanted.

Participated in the synods in Aachen. Benedict was an advisor and supported of the emperor. Wrote the Capitulare monasticum, a systematization of the Benedictine Rule as the rule for all monks in the empire. Compiled the Codex regularum, a collection of all monastic regulations, and Concordia regularum, showing the resemblance of Benedict's rule to those of other monastic leaders. The rules stressed individual poverty and chastity with obedience to a properly constituted abbot, himself a monk. Benedict insisted upon the liturgical character of monastic life, including a daily Conventual Mass and additions to the Divine Office. He stressed the clerical element in monasticism which led to the development of teaching and writing as opposed to manual labor in the field. This direction lapsed some after Benedict's death, but had lasting effects on Western monasticism. Benedict is considered the restorer of Western monasticism and is often called the 'second Benedict.'

Saint Caedmon

Saint Calocerus of Ravenna

Saint Castrensis of Capua

Saint Dativus

Saint Desiderius

Saint Elizabeth Salviati

Saint Felix

Saint Gobnata

Saint Gregory II

Saint Helwisa

Saint Jonas of Muchon

Saint Lazarus

Bishop of Milan c.439. Archbishop of Milan during a time when invading Ostrogoths controlled the area. May have developed and certainly popularized the Rogationtide litanies; originally devised to ask for protection from the Ostrogoths, over time the devotion spread throughout Europe. Feast day moved to February due to the Milanese custom of not celebrating saint days during Lent.

Saint Lucius of Hadrianople

Martyrs of Africa


Pope Saint Paschal I

Son of Bonosus. Studied at the Lateran. Benedictine monk. Abbot of Saint Stephen's monastery, which was near the Vatican, and which housed pilgrims to Rome. Elected 98th pope in 817.

Defended the Greeks against iconoclastic emperors, and sheltered refugees from the iconoclast persecutions. Supported Saint Nicephorous and Saint Theodore Studites. Enshrined the relics of Saint Caecilia and other martyrs.

When two papal officials were found blinded and murdered, Paschal was accused of the crime. He was not involved, but the murderers were members of his household, and he refused to surrender them, claiming that the victims were traitors, and that secular authorities had no jurisdiction over events that occurred within the Vatican. The dispute resulted in the Constitution of Lothair, which set specific limits on the law enforement and judicial powers of the pope.

Saint Pedro Maldonado

Saint Saturninus of Albatina and Companions

Saint Severinus of Agaunum

Saint Simplicius I of Vienne

Saint Smaragdus

Daughter of Paphnutius, a rich citizen of Alexandria, Egypt, born in her parents' old age due to the prayers of a monk who was a friend of the family. When she was grown, her family arranged marriage for her to wealthy young noble, but she preferred religious life. While her father was on a retreat, she gave away her possessions, then became a nun and spiritual student of the monk who'd prayed for her birth. To hide from her family, she wore men's clothes, and became a monk, taking the name Smaragdus. She became famous for her holiness and wisdom, and became a spiritual teacher of her father, who did not recognize her. On her deathbed she revealed her true identity to her father who then became a monk, and lived in her cell the remaining ten years of his life.

Saint Soteris

Saint Theodora

Saint Tobias Borras Romeu


Saint Victoria

North African nobility. Convert in her youth. She refused an arranged marriage to a young nobleman, and on her wedding day she leaped from a window in her parents' house. She sought sanctuary in a nearby church, and there dedicated her life to God.

Arrested during the Eucharist for her faith, her pagan brother, Fortunatianus, tried to intercede with the judge by claiming she was insane; she disproved this by engaging in debate with the judge. The judge, Anulinus, was willing to release her if she agreed to her brother's supervision, but she refused, saying she could obey only God. Anulinus finally, knowing her family, pleaded with her to not throw away her life on what he considered a fantasy; she proclaimed that she was a Christian, that she was loyal to God, and that she had taken part in the Eucharist. Saint Victoria tortured to death in 304 in prison at Albitina, north Africa with 45 fellow parishioners; they have long been given as examples to those who are lukewarm in attending Mass. She was noted during her imprisonment for her courage. It is uncertain as to the location of her relics. They may be in an ancient sacristy in Rignano, Italy, and / or a chapel in Maria Stein, Ohio, USA
