Parish Articles & Insights

Here I Go Again, Another Story ! ! Surrendering to God’s will by Fr. Walt Wainwright is not a passive act…it’s a determined choice to act in accordance with God’s As you know by now, I have a great love for the will - in spite of ourselves. . This week I would like to share the story of one of God’s holy ones and I suspect that most of you have never heard of her. I chose to write about her today to show that God chooses all kinds of people to be His saints. !

I have a book entitled, “Traveling with the Saints in ,” which is a collection of several of the saints who have come from Italy. There are a lot of them. These are saints who lived many years ago. We know about St. , probably the best known of all Italian saints. We know about St. Catherine of

Siena, St. , St. Benedict and a whole list more.

The saint I want to tell you about today is Blessed Margaret of Castello. Margaret was born in the year 1287 of noble parents. Her parents were married several years before they were blessed with children. Finally they were expecting their first child. They were overjoyed and, of course, they expected their first child to be a boy, who would one day inherit the family titles and fortune.

God blessed them instead with a little baby girl. Very sadly they were disappointed and all the more so when their little girl was born blind, deformed, a dwarf, and they were devastated. Their disappointment was so great that they put their baby in the care of one of the maids in their castle and ordered her to keep the child away from anyone. They wanted to forget about her and pretend she did not exist.

For years Margaret was shunned and eventually was placed in a where she was taught about Jesus, how to pray and was allowed to attend Mass, though apart from any of the others present. When she became an adult she left the convent and lived on the streets depending on the charity of others for her livelihood. It was a miserable way of life but Margaret didn’t complain about it. She saw it as God’s will for her and this was the way she was to serve God.

Even with her blindness and deformity she overcame these afflictions and did not allow them to distract her from her love of Jesus Christ. When in her twenties she sought admission into a lay community of Dominicans called the Mantellate, she was accepted and followed their rule and joined in their works of service to others.

At the time of her death all the townspeople believed she was truly a very holy and saintly person. On the day of her burial, there was a couple who had a child with severe curvature of the spine and could not walk. They brought the child and begged that the child be allowed to touch the body of the deceased Margaret. There was a great commotion but permission was granted. The couple believed that Margaret was a saint and would cure their child. They placed the child next to Margaret’s body and began to pray. All of a sudden, Margaret’s hand reached out and touched the child and immediately the child was able to stand up straight and to walk.

The date of Margaret’s death was April 13, 1320. She was beatified several centuries later in 1609. She has not, however, been canonized though there is a movement today to renew her cause for .

Many call her the of surrender for she surrendered her life to God’s will in all things.

You see, God calls everyone to holiness. Saints come in all shapes and sizes, even like you and me.

The beautiful season of autumn begins tomorrow. Enjoy! !!!!!! Fr. Walt.
