SANCTUARY CANDLE ALTAR FLOWERS August August Donor: Phyllis Guthrie Donor: The Gilstrap Family Memorial: For The Love Of Jesus Memorial: Bob Gilstrap Saint Feast Days WEEK OF AUGUST 15 TO 21, 2016 AUGUST 15, 2016 – Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - The Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven, often shortened to the Assumption and also known as the Falling Asleep of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to the beliefs of the Catholic Church Virgin Mary was the bodily taking up into Heaven at the end of her earthly life. The Church teaches as dogma that the Virgin Mary "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory". This doctrine was dogmatically defined by Pope Piux XII on November 1, 1950, in the apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus by exercising papal infallibility. (Normally a Holy Day of Obligation but not in 2016) AUGUST 16, 2016 – St. Stephen of Hungry - (977-1038) Was the son of the Magyar chieftain Geza, Stephen succeeded him as leader in 997. Already raised a Christian, in 996 he wed the daughter of Duke Henry II of Bavaria and devoted much of his reign to the promotion of the Christian faith. He gave his patronage to Church leaders, helped build churches, and was a proponent of the rights of the Holy See. Stephen also crushed the pagan counter reaction to Christianity, forcibly converting the so-called Black Hungarians after their failed rebellion. In recognition of his efforts, Stephen was anointed king of Hungary in 1000, receiving the cross and crown from Pope Sylvester II. Canonized in 1083 by Pope St. Gregory VII, he became the patron saint of Hungary. AUGUST 17, 2016 – St. Joan of the Cross - (1666 – 1736) Born Jeanne Delanoue in Anjou, France, Joan worked in the family business—a small shop near a religious shrine—from an early age. After her parents’ death she took over the shop herself. She quickly became known for her greediness and insensitivity to the beggars who often came seeking help. She began caring for needy children. Over time she closed the family business so she could devote herself fully to good works and penance. She founded the Congregation of St. Anne of Providence. She took the religious name of Joan of the Cross. Canonized her in 1982 by John Paul II. (Also St. Hyacinth) AUGUST 18, 2016 – St. Helena – (248 – 324) Born in Bithynia, Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), St. Helena was married to Roman Emperor Constantius and had a son who would become Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, the first Roman emperor to become a Christian. St. Helena, who converted as well, oversaw the construction of churches on Holy Land sites. She would later be credited with discovering the cross upon which Jesus Christ is believed to have been crucified. (Also St. Louis of Toulouse) AUGUST 19, 2016 – St. John Eudes – (1601 – 1680) Was born at Ri, Normandy, France, the son of a farmer. He went to the Jesuit college at Caen when he was 14, and despite his parents' wish that he marry, joined the Congregation of the Oratory of France in 1623. He was ordained in 1625, and worked as a volunteer, caring for the victims of the plagues that struck Normandy in 1625 and 1631, and spent the next decade giving Missions, building reputation as an outstanding preacher and confessor and for his opposition to Jansenism. Canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI. AUGUST 20, 2016 – St. Bernard – (1090 – 1153) Was born of noble parentage in Burgundy, France, in the castle of Fontaines near Dijon. Under the care of his pious parents he was sent at an early age to a college at Chatillon, where he was conspicuous for his remarkable piety and spirit of recollection. After the death of his mother, he resolved to embrace the newly established and very austere institute of the Cistercian Order, of which he was destined to become the greatest ornament. His superior sent him with twelve monks to found a new monastery, which afterward became known as the celebrated Abbey of Claitvaux. St. Bernard was at once appointed Abbot and began that active life which has rendered him the most conspicuous figure in the history of the 12th century. Canonized in 1174 by Pope Alexander III. AUGUST 21, 2016 – St. Pius X – (1835 – 1913) Borne Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto at Riesi, Province of Treviso, in Venice.

  • Daily Saints - 17 August
    Daily Saints - 17 August Feast of St. Jeanne Delanoue (Foundress) Born 18 June 1666, Died 17 August (aged 70), Beatified 8 November 1947 by Pope Pius XII, Canonized 31 October 1982 by Pope John Paul II, Feast 17 August Jeanne Delanoue was born in Saumur, Anjou, France, in the Loire valley in 1666. The youngest in a family of twelve, her parents owned a business near the sanctuary of Notre-Dame-des-Ardilliers. Jeanne was only six when her father died, and from then on she helped her mother run the store in order to maintain the family. Although skillful and hard-working, she was also bossy, selfish, and looking for notice. Her mother died when she was twenty-five and Jeanne took over the business herself. As well as drapery and a shop selling religious goods, Jeanne also provided accommodation for pilgrims visiting the shrine. So absorbed was she in making money that her shop was open even on Sundays, an unusual practice in that period. She quickly became known for her greediness and insensitivity to the beggars who often came seeking help. On Pentecost 1693, Jeanne met a poor widow and pilgrim from Rennes, named Francoise Fouchet, who foretold that she would one day spend her life in caring for the poor. Although Jeanne was already a devout enough person, she treated this prediction with skepticism. But as time passed, she began to focus more on the care of the less fortunate. Jeanne took in orphans and began living a truly spiritual life, so much so that she eventually closed the family business to concentrate more on work for others.

  • THE POCKET GUIDE to the Saints 
    THE POCKET GUIDE TO the Saints RICHARD P. McBRIEN co ntent s Introduction 1 The Lives of the Saints January 11 February 36 March 57 April 80 May 104 June 128 July 158 August 186 September 214 October 244 November 275 December 302 Index of Names 335 About the Author Other Books by Richard P. McBrien Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher introduction This book contains the abridged profiles of canon- ized saints and other saintly fi gures, organized according to their respective feast days or days of death. For the complete profiles, readers should consult the full edition, published in hardcover by HarperSanFrancisco in 2001 and released in paperback in 2003. Although the Catholic Church has always been the principal agency of saint making, this book is also atten- tive to the devotional traditions and practices of other Christian denominations, particularly the Greek and Rus- sian Orthodox Churches, the churches of the Anglican Communion, including the Episcopal Church USA, and the churches of the Lutheran World Federation, espe- cially the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. There are also occasional references to holy persons not yet for- mally recognized as saints, including non-Chris tians. There is no more basic question than the question of sanctity, because it touches the very meaning and depths of our lives on this earth. In what does a fully human life consist? What does it mean not only to be “good,” but to be heroically so? And what role does a global and multi- cultural community like the Church have in inspiring others to live up to such standards of human behavior, 2 the pocket guide to the saints and what responsibility does it have to live up to those standards itself ? In the eyes of the Church, saints are personifi cations of what the truly good life is all about, and that is why, for centuries, devoted members of the Church have looked to the saints as models for their own lives and as sources of inspiration and hope.

  • Europe in 1945 Was Politically Unstable; in Fact, It Was in a Mess
    Europe in 1945 was politically unstable; in fact, it was in a mess. Many countries were badly damaged by World War II and military forces from the US, the UK and others were spread all over the place trying to bring back law and order. Does this not sound like the United States of America and so many others! By William A. Thomas (c) avec l’aimable autorisation de son auteur. Published : Sunday, 13th September 2009 In Central and Easter Europe there was even a bigger threat from Bolshevik Communists who were under the command of Josef Stalin. He was a despot as bad as Hitler if not worse, and historians seem to think that he killed more than Hitler. The figure for the number of dead in World War II could be as high as 200 million people, of which 100 million died in the slave camps of the Soviet Union, another 30 million died in Europe during the war, and many more died immediately or soon afterwards, due to starvation and health problems. By 1947 the evil Soviet Empire began to expand and to have influence not only in the East but among the fascists in France. The Communists here were poised to take over, and they were the most organized political force, and on the verge of revolutionary success. They were not only obedient to Stalin, but were following his instructions to the letter, and were in constant contact with Moscow. They were involved in acts of sabotage all over France, trains were being derailed, food shortages were becoming more severe than during the war, and a general apprehension and fear continued to shake the entire country.
