  • Mary the Blessed Virgin
    January 1 – Mary the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church. Traditionally, she was declared the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne. Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. Living in Nazareth, Mary was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would become the Mother of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. She became betrothed to St. Joseph and went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was bearing St. John the Baptist. Acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother of God, Mary intoned the Magnificat. When Emperor Augustus declared a census throughout the vast Roman Empire, Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem where he was born, as he belonged to the House of David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and was visited by the Three Kings. Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee, St. Joseph and Mary went to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. They remained in Egypt until King Herod died and then returned to Nazareth. Nothing is known of Mary's life during the next years except for a visit to the Temple of Jerusalem, at which time Mary and Joseph sought the young Jesus, who was in the Temple with the learned elders. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was performed at a wedding in Cana, and Mary was instrumental in calling Christ's attention to the need.

  • Saint of the Day
    Saint of the Day January January 1: Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God This feast of Mary is considered to be one of the oldest and most important feasts of Our Lady. In 431, the Council of Ephesus met to correct false teachings about Christ’s divinity. The Council affirmed that Jesus is true God and true man. Since Mary is the Mother of Jesus, who is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, she can truly be called the Mother of God. Devotion to Mary as the Mother of God continued to spread from this time to the present. January 2: St. Basil the Great, Bishop Born to wealthy family in 330, Basil’s family had been Christians for generations. He was well educated, and eventually settled in Caesarea to practice law in 356. There, he met a bishop named Eustanthius and radically changed his life. He wrote, “I beheld the wonderful light of the Gospel truth, and I recognized the nothingness of the wisdom of the princes of this world.” He was baptized and founded a monastic community on his family estate. St. Basil wrote many works about monastic life which has deeply influence the Eastern Church. He attended the Council of Constantinople in 360 and supported the Nicene Creed. He was made a bishop in 370 and focused on serving the poor and reforming criminals. He died in 379. January 3: The Most Holy Name of Jesus Today we remember that, by conferring the name Jesus on His Son, God set that name above all other names.

  • Call to Holiness
    Call to Holiness June 2014 Bulletin Supplement Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint. June 1: Saint Justin (d. 165) Justin never ended his quest for religious truth even when he converted to Christianity after years of studying various pagan philosophies. As a young man, he was principally attracted to the school of Plato. However, he found that the Christian religion answered the great questions about life and existence better than the philosophers. Upon his conversion he continued to wear the philosopher's mantle, and became the first Christian philosopher. He combined the Christian religion with the best elements in Greek philosophy. In his view, philosophy was a pedagogue of Christ, an educator that was to lead one to Christ. Justin is known as an apologist, one who defends in writing the Christian religion against the attacks and misunderstandings of the pagans. Two of his so-called apologies have come down to us; they are addressed to the Roman emperor and to the Senate. For his staunch adherence to the Christian religion, Justin was beheaded in Rome in 165. June 2: Saints Marcellinus and Peter (d. 304) Marcellinus and Peter were prominent enough in the memory of the Church to be included among the saints of the Roman Canon. Mention of their names is optional in our present Eucharistic Prayer I. Marcellinus was a priest and Peter was an exorcist, that is, someone authorized by the Churh to deal with cases of demonic possession.

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.
