I entrust to Our Lady of Africa and to the saints of this beloved continent the Church that dwells there” (AM No 114). From the time of the early Church, Africa has been richly blessed with many great saints, including three of the Early Fathers of the Church, Saints Augustine, Cyril of Alexandria and Cyprian. There have also been great women saints from that period, among them, St Monica, the mother of St Augustine, as well as many brave martyrs, including Saints Perpetua and Felicity. In more recent times Africa has given the Church additional outstanding saints and martyrs, such St Josephine Bakhita, a slave girl from Sudan, and the Ugandan martyrs, St Charles Lwanga and his twenty-two companions.

This was the religious ceremony of Beatification, presided over by Angelo Cardinal Amato, who came from Rome as the representative of Pope Francis. The purpose of this ceremony was the official declaration by the Catholic Church that one of its members from that area, Tshimangadzo Samuel Benedict Daswa, a member of the small Lemba tribe living among the Vendas, would henceforth be honoured as a Martyr for the Faith with the title, “Blessed”.

    Transformation of society through ordinary People Often when we are asked the question to name some great saints that changed the world we easily rhyme of St Francis of Assisi, St Ignatius of Loyola, St Thomas Aquinas, St Augustine, we might even mention a few women saints like St. Teresa of Avila, St Teresa of Calcutta or St Clare. And indeed, these are great saints for many reasons. I invite us to think of other great contemporary men and women, whose names may not roll of our tongues but who have made a tremendous contribution to the transformation of modern-day society. I love to think of these people because they impacted so deeply the lives of the poor and the marginalised. There they touched the wounds of Christ. They courageously acted against the status quo and being so rooted in Christ and His love for His people they sacrificed personal gain and their own human needs for recognition, intimacy, comfort, acceptance, among other needs. They chose to take upon themselves a share in the life of the Crucified Christ. These great modern-day saints didn’t do any extraordinary things. Their greatness lies in their faith, rooted in Christ, who in responding to His call worked to change their world. It was their fidelity to listen to and follow the heartbeat of Christ in serving humanity that made them great. I mention three such people, Joseph Moscati, Dorothy Day and Benedict Daswa. None of them ever left their own hometown or country. None of them were religious. Rather 2 they lived and worked and were transformed from within themselves, and through their inner conversion they transformed their societies and the people they lived among.

Jesus, heal us, we pray! The feast of South Africa’s first martyr, Blessed Benedict Daswa, is on Monday, 1 February. It is an important celebration in the life of the local church. February, then, is “Daswa Month”. Tshimangadzo Samuel Daswa, who assumed the name Benedict after his baptism, was a 43 year old teacher and family man from Limpopo when he was murdered by a mob 31 years ago for refusing to participate in a witch-hunt since it contradicted his Catholic faith. Recognising his heroic virtues, Daswa was beatified by Pope Francis in 2015. For more info, visit www.benedictdaswa.org.za. Blessed Benedict Daswa, pray for us! Towards the end of last year, the State President announced, and since extended, the adjusted Level 3 of the nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of the virus following a dramatic rise in infections.

  • Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus (1873-1897)
    SAINT THÉRÈSE OF THE CHILD JESUS (1873-1897) hérèse Martin was born in Alençon, France, on January 2, 1873, Tto Louis Martin and Zélie Guérin, who were canonized together in 2015. After the death of her mother on August 28, 1877, Thérèse moved with her family to the city of Lisieux. Some extraordinary graces accompanied Thérèse’s human and spiritual maturation and allowed her to grow in her awareness of the infinite Mercy of God that is offered to every person. On the day of Pentecost in 1883, she had the unique grace of being healed from a serious illness; through the intercession of Our Lady of Victories. In 1884, she received her First Communion and at that time experienced the grace of intimate union with Christ. Thérèse had a great desire to follow her sisters, Pauline and Marie, into the Carmel of Lisieux to live a contemplative life. While on a pilgrimage to Italy, during an audience that Pope Leo XIII granted to the faithful of the Diocese of Lisieux, she boldly implored the Holy Father to obtain permission to enter Carmel at the age of fifteen. Having obtained his permission, Thérèse entered the monastery in 1888 and professed her vows on September 8, 1890. Her journey of holiness was strengthened by trusting God during mo- ments of great trial, to which she gave witness in her writings, letters, and prayers. Her teaching is also evident in poems and small theatrical per- formances written for recreation with the sisters. As a collaborator in the formation of novices, she undertook transmitting her spiritual experiences condensed into The Little Way of Spiritual Childhood.
