Today's Saint

Blessed Francis Faà di Bruno (1825-1888)


Francis, the last of 12 children, was born in northern Italy into an aristocratic family. He lived at a particularly turbulent time in history, when anti-Catholic and anti-papal sentiments were especially strong.

After being trained as a military officer, Francis was spotted by King Victor Emmanuel II, who was impressed with the young man's character and learning. Invited by the king to tutor his two young sons, Francis agreed and prepared himself with additional studies. But with the role of the Church in education being a sticking point for many, the king was forced to withdraw his offer to the openly Catholic Francis and, instead, find a tutor more suitable to the secular state.

Francis soon left army life behind and pursued doctoral studies in Paris in mathematics and astronomy; he also showed a special interest in religion and asceticism. Despite his commitment to the scholarly life, Francis put much of his energy into charitable activities. He founded the Society of St. Zita for maids and domestic servants, later expanding it to include unmarried mothers, among others. He helped establish hostels for the elderly and poor. He even oversaw the construction of a church in Turin that was dedicated to the memory of Italian soldiers who had lost their lives in the struggle over the unification of Italy.

Wishing to broaden and deepen his commitment to the poor, Francis, then well into adulthood, studied for the priesthood. But first he had to obtain the support of Pope Pius IX to counteract the opposition to his own archbishop's difficulty with late vocations. Francis was ordained at the age of 51.

As a priest, he continued his good works, sharing his inheritance as well as his energy. He established yet another hostel, this time for prostitutes. He died in Turin on March 27, 1888, and was beatified 100 years later.

Until wen we will meet we go no who go b host or guest, may be by then u will b in Lagos

Lindiwe:
Oby are you a Sacred Heart member as well?

I'm not, though my mum is one, and my family has been consecrated to the Sacred heart, though it's different from that of Lewis De' Monfort's.

Well, indirectly i'm still a member!  

Cheers.

No, i'm not but, indirectly too i'm a member because my parents are.  (I remember when prayers will b goin on and i'll b dozing off   )

ebos:
Ok, I agree if God wants it that way, but can that guest be the host at the same time? I will be the host if you are the guest. Good that way?

Who said you are the guest I said you r the HOST and we are the guest. Shikena!

Yeah i'm a legionary, the Monfort's method like Carlos said, is for all practicing Catholics, took mine on the 25th of March, 2001. It was beautiful! it entails attending a 33-day class, during which you gain a good knowlede of 'the self', of God, and of Mary. Very beautiful indeed!

The Monfort's method is it the same as the Legion Promise, if it is the same then i have taken it.

ebos:
The time does not really matter but you guys must know Forex one day and trade without fear. Like today, I have made enough pips only that I have not been able to close some of my profit because of some guys around. I now trade with ease, no panicking. I have a strategy that I can enter market 8pm and my mind will be at rest till the following day. At most, I will not gain anything but I cannot lose any money, but the following day, I must close it with profit. It's working perfectly for 6 days now.

Just make enough money, so that finally when we all meet na u go b our host, like lawyer enough orisirisi.

ebos:
Oby, I no understand wetin you mean by expo.

Sincerely speaking, the best forex strategy was revealed to me in dream. No more loss. The time I will finally meet you guys – Forex is what I will teach you guys. It’s profitable and with this strategy, you don’t need to fear again.

This getting interesting which means your dreams comes through, I will prefer it if u teach me, just as d saying goes 'experience matters'  (I mean it i want to learn it)

When will that time b, hope no b eternity

Ebos the dreamer

Ebos d dreamer this one na expo o

Oby,

But I'm not chatting anything now How work and bodi dey?

if u r not chatting anything then, what are u doin?
Work no easy since yesterday, i left office around 8pm which means bodi dey very tired, even today i no pray make e bi the same

hope u r still trading?

What's happening again?  Quite sure, Lawyer's prophecy is going to fulfill here - expiring and getting tired but we continue to move on.  No distractions in any form.

Ebos r u chatting from Lebanon? (no mind me o  )

more likely a legionary (the montfort's method of total consecration is actually for all and sundry as long as u are a practising catholic)

Can you forward the prayer to know if it is the one i'm thinking about.

and lindiwe kindly note that missing the renewal of your consecration does not bind under pain of sin (i.e is not actually a sin to be confessed) but it would have pleased God in no little way if you had actually remembered to do it.

If i say it now i think its still the same, only that yesterday was really meant for it to be said.

oby, i can see that u watch film sotay film won begin watch u

That was the opportunity i have and that is one of my ways of relaxing

I wish i saw your post on the Announciation before i left the office yesterday, I was supposed to renew my 'Total consecration to Jesus, through Mary our mother (De Monfort's formular)' on that day' and i forgot it was yesterday!

Lindiwe seems you are a Sacred Heart member

Today's Saint
Blessed Didacus of Cadiz (d. 1801)  

Born in Cadiz, Spain, and christened Joseph Francis, the youth spent much of his free time around the Capuchin friars and their church. But his desire to enter the Franciscan Order was delayed because of the difficulty he had with his studies. Finally he was admitted to the novitiate of the Capuchins in Seville as Brother Didacus. He later was ordained a priest and sent out to preach.

His gift of preaching was soon evident. He journeyed tirelessly through the territory of Andalusia of Spain, speaking in small towns and crowded cities. His words were able to touch the minds and hearts of young and old, rich and poor, students and professors. His work in the confessional completed the conversions his words began.

This unlearned man was called "the apostle of the Holy Trinity" because of his devotion to the Trinity and the ease with which he preached about this sublime mystery. One day a child gave away his secret, crying out: "Mother, mother, see the dove resting on the shoulder of Father Didacus! I could preach like that too if a dove told me all that I should say."

Didacus was that close to God, spending nights in prayer and preparing for his sermons by severe penances. His reply to those who criticized him: "My sins and the sins of the people compel me to do it. Those who have been charged with the conversions of sinners must remember that the Lord has imposed on them the sins of all their clients."

It is said that sometimes when he preached on the love of God he would be elevated above the pulpit. Crowds in village and town squares were entranced by his words and would attempt to tear off pieces of his habit as he passed by.

He died in 1801 at age 58, a holy and revered man. He was beatified in 1894.

Today's Saint

St. Salvator of Horta (1520-1567)


A reputation for holiness does have some drawbacks. Public recognition can be a nuisance at times—as the confreres of Salvator found out.

Salvator was born during Spain’s Golden Age. Art, politics and wealth were flourishing. So was religion. Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus in 1540.

Salvator’s parents were poor. At the age of 21 he entered the Franciscans as a brother and was soon known for his asceticism, humility and simplicity.

As cook, porter and later the official beggar for the friars in Tortosa, he became well known for his charity. He healed the sick with the Sign of the Cross. When crowds of sick people began coming to the friary to see Salvator, the friars transferred him to Horta. Again the sick flocked to ask his intercession; one person estimated that two thousand people a week came to see Salvator. He told them to examine their consciences, to go to confession and to receive Holy Communion worthily. He refused to pray for those who would not receive those sacraments.

The public attention given to Salvator was relentless. The crowds would sometimes tear off pieces of his habit as relics. Two years before his death, Salvator was moved again, this time to Cagliari on the island of Sardinia. He died at Cagliari saying, "Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit." He was canonized in 1938.

Quote

"Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness" (Matthew 10:1).

work is fine my brother

Greetings to you all. Viee how was ur text

Carlosein:
May Kelly, are u a real catholic? how come you don't know bout Holy Thursday and Good Friday?

also, Real Catholics say Glory to Jesus, Honour to Mary!

try it, it won't bite

Something happened today in the bus I entered.  There was a man sitting beside me and suddenly he began to preach by then i was about rounding off my Rosary prayer (in my heart i was praying to be able to finish d Rosary and do the sign of the cross to see what this man will preach and it worked) so i made the sign of the cross.  The man changed the preaching of repentance, do you people know what he said?
"Don't let anybody deceive you people about purgatory, there is nothing like purgatory"    I laugh i say this man funny o. exactly what i thought happened 

Today's Saint

St. Cyril of Jerusalem (315?-386)

Problems in the Church today are minor compared with the reverberations of the Arian heresy that denied the divinity of Christ. Cyril was to be caught up in the controversy, accused (later) of Arianism by St. Jerome, and ultimately vindicated both by the men of his own time and by being declared a Doctor of the Church in 1822. Raised in Jerusalem, well-educated, especially in the Scriptures, he was ordained a priest by the bishop of Jerusalem and given the task of catechizing during Lent those preparing for Baptism and during the Easter season the newly baptized. His Catecheses remain valuable as examples of the ritual and theology of the Church in the mid-fourth century.

There are conflicting reports about the circumstances of his becoming bishop of Jerusalem. It is certain that he was validly consecrated by bishops of the province. Since one of them was an Arian, Acacius, it may have been expected that his “cooperation” would follow. Conflict soon rose between Cyril and Acacius, bishop of the rival nearby see of Caesarea. Cyril was summoned to a council, accused of insubordination and of selling Church property to relieve the poor. Probably, however, a theological difference was also involved. He was condemned, driven from Jerusalem, and later vindicated, not without some association and help of Semi-Arians. Half his episcopate was spent in exile (his first experience was repeated twice). He finally returned to find Jerusalem torn with heresy, schism and strife, and wracked with crime. Even St. Gregory of Nyssa, sent to help, left in despair.

They both went to the (second ecumenical) Council of Constantinople, where the amended form of the Nicene Creed was promulgated. Cyril accepted the word consubstantial (that is, of Christ and the Father). Some said it was an act of repentance, but the bishops of the Council praised him as a champion of orthodoxy against the Arians. Though not friendly with the greatest defender of orthodoxy against the Arians, Cyril may be counted among those whom Athanasius called “brothers, who mean what we mean, and differ only about the word [consubstantial].”

Quote

“It is not only among us, who are marked with the name of Christ, that the dignity of faith is great; all the business of the world, even of those outside the Church, is accomplished by faith. By faith, marriage laws join in union persons who were strangers to one another. By faith, agriculture is sustained; for a man does not endure the toil involved unless he believes he will reap a harvest. By faith, seafaring men, entrusting themselves to a tiny wooden craft, exchange the solid element of the land for the unstable motion of the waves. Not only among us does this hold true but also, as I have said, among those outside the fold. For though they do not accept the Scriptures but advance certain doctrines of their own, yet even these they receive on faith” (Catechesis V).

wasup peeps, Oby1, Viee, Pams, Carl, Law, Ebos - oops you're back!, i say a big Glory to Jesus, Honour to Mother Mary!
