Ray’s favorite Saints this week… Oct 21: St Hilarion (291 -371) is the founder of Palestinian monasticism: St . Jerone wrote his biography only 20 years after his death. He lived in deserted region of Majuma in Gasa. Oct 22: St. John Paul II (1920 -2005) is celebrated on the anniversary of his papal inauguration: However, May 13, 1981 is the day the world remembers when Ali Agca shot the Pope four times; Agca was later forgiven while in prison, and later converted to Catholicism. Oct 23: St. John of Capistrano (1386 -1456). This married mayor of Perugia, while imprisoned during civil war, was overwhelmed by a vision of St. Francis. John got out of jail, dismissed his wife and became a ferocious Franciscan – thanks to the inspiration of Saints Colette and Bernardino. He became the inquisitor for Bohemia and Hungary. He was ahead of his time in his dealings with witches. He led the forces into battle in Belgrade, and successfully turned back the Turks. Hold up! Wait a minute ! St. Severinus Boethius (480 -524). Brilliant married Christian philosopher who was arrested, tortured and martyred in Pavia where his bones can be seen, directly under the relics of St. Augustine at San Pietro. Always pray for our seminarian Kyle Vance on this day; he is devoted to this saint. Oct 24: St. Antonio Maria Claret (1807 -1870). Spanish founder of the Claretian Order was greatly concerned with evangelization through the written word. Two hundred books and pamphlets are credited to his direct work alone. He later became Archbishop in Santiago, Cuba. He had a high degree of ecstasies, prophecy and healings. His tomb is near Barcelona. But wait! What about… Blessed Luigi Guanella (1842 -1915) leaves his native Como and heads to Turin to meet St. John Bosco. He founded a religious order himself with the twin role of healing and lifting up the sick and the poor. He was all about Catholic Social Justice and was nick named the “Garibaldi of Charity” by Pope Pius XI. Oct 27: Bd. Contardo Ferrini (1859 -1902). Brilliant scholar from theology to linguistics to geology, he studied from Pavia to Berlin. He is a modern patr on saint for students – nobody thirsts for knowledge – but all under the truth of our cre ator God. He died at the tender age of 43.
