Death will, in a moment, take from us the money and other things that we have amassed with so much trouble. But it cannot take from us the alms we have given and the other works of charity we have performed. These shall be safely stored up for us in heaven by our Lord Himself. Death will strip us of all our possessions; but it cannot take from us the beautiful robe of sanctifying grace. It cannot take from us our prayers, our frequent confessions and Holy Communions, our constant connection with God. These things will remain with us and follow us into eternity. As we see in the Gospel of today, Jesus is our life: He is our Savior who sympathizes with us in our trials and uses His divine omnipotence to alleviate them. The miracle of the resurrection of the son of the widow of Naim is an expression of the delicacy of Jesus’ love for us. The resurrection of the young man was implored by his mother’s tears; let ours be implored every day by our good deeds, by the tears of repentance in our hearts, by our humility and trust! Canon Antoine Boucheron STS. CYPRIAN and JUSTINA, Martyrs September 26, 8:00 a.m. Mass The detestable superstition of St. Cyprian's idolatrous parents devoted him from his infancy to the devil, and he was brought up in all the impious mysteries of idolatry, astrology, and the black art. When Cyprian had learned all the extravagances of these schools of error and delusion, he hesitated at no crimes, blasphemed Christ, and committed secret murders. There lived at Antioch a young Christian lady called Justina, of high birth and great beauty. A pagan nobleman fell deeply in love with her, and finding her modesty inac- cessible, and her resolution invincible, he applied to Cyprian for assistance. Cyprian, no less smitten with the lady, tried every secret with which he was acquainted to conquer her resolution. Justina, perceiving herself vigorously attacked, studied to arm herself by prayer, watchfulness, and mortification against all his artifices and the power of his spells. Cyprian finding himself worsted by a superior power, began to consider the weakness of the infernal spirits, and resolved to quit their service and become a Christian. Agladius, who had been the first suitor to the holy virgin, was likewise converted and bap- tized. The persecution of Diocletian breaking out, Cyprian and Justina were seized, and presented to the same judge. She was in- humanly scourged, and Cyprian was torn with iron hooks. After this they were both sent in chains to Diocletian, who command- ed their heads to be struck off, which sentence was executed. Reflection. If the errors and disorders of St. Cyprian show the degeneracy of human nature corrupted by sin and enslaved to vice, his conversion displays the power of grace and virtue to repair it. Let us beg of God to send us grace to resist temptation, and to do His holy will in all things. Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler, Benziger Bros. ed. [1894] St. Wenceslaus, Duke & Martyr September 28, 9:00 a.m. Mass St. Wenceslaus, also known by Vaclav, was born near Prague, and was the son of Duke Wratislaw. He was taught Christianity by his grandmother, St. Ludmila. The Magyars, along with Drahomira, an anti-Christian faction murdered the Duke and St. Lumila, and took over the government. Wenceslaus was declared the new ruler after a coup in 922. He encouraged Christianity. Boleslaus, his brother, no longer successor to the throne, after Wenceslaus' son was born, joined a group of noble Czech dissenters. They invited Wenceslaus to a religious festival, trapped and killed him on the doorstep of a church while on the way to Mass. Virtually from the moment of his death, Wenceslaus was considered a martyr and venerated as a saint. Miracles were reported at his tomb, and his remains were translated to the church of St. Vitus in Prague which became a major pilgrimage site. He is the patron saint of Bohemia, his feast day is Sept. 28. Courtesy of Catholiconline News from the Province — Gricigliano † Institute of Christ the King American - Canon James Hoogerwerf Offers First Mass in Gricigliano Published: 14 September 2019 Newly ordained American priest, Canon James Hoogerwerf, offered his First Solemn High Mass and officiated Solemn Vespers on the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost at the Institute's international seminary in Gricigliano. In the presence of his brother canons, Canon Hoogerwerf returned to give thanks to the Divine Infant King, our Lord Jesus Christ, enthroned above the seminary tabernacle, by offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at the altar whence he was nourished by the sacraments for seven years on his path to the holy priesthood. His former classmate and now brother priest, Canon Matthew Weaver, was given the honor to preach for the occasion. He reminded his American confrere and all present of the providential pertinence of the first words of the day's Holy Gospel: Beati oculi qui vident quae vos videtis (Blessed are the eyes that see what you see). We pray that Christ our Holy Infant King will continue to bless Canon Hoogerwerf and all of the newly ordained for everything they do to honor Him as their Divine King for the salvation of souls. May the Infant Jesus be their shepherd and model as holy and faithful priests in His devoted service forever. 2 LITURGICAL CALENDAR: SEPTEMBER 22 - SEPTEMBER 29, 2019 †Francis Moes Michael Simia Sun., Sep., 22 Thomas Simia 8:00 a.m. by Catherine Moes Low Mass FIFTEENTH SUNDAY 10:00 a.m. Cheryl Boyd MC: Jacob Mihalski AFTER ENTECOST Thurifer: Adam Mihalski High Mass P by Ben & Amy Smith Acolytes: Aaron Rasmussen & Michael Barrington St. Cecilia Choir (2nd Cl., G) Candle: Paul Mihalski, Brodie Bartolazzi, Joshua Mihalski, Jean-Marie Helfenberger Crucifer: Gus Helfenberger SX Scott LaLonde Mon., Sep., 23 St. Linus, Pope & Martyr (3rd Cl., R) Commemoration †Mary Fiala 6:00 p.m. for the Pope & St. Thecla, Virgin & Martyr by Terry & Vicki Fiala Tues., Sep., 24 5:00 P.M. - HOLY HOUR OF EUCHARISTIC ADORATION 6:00 p.m. †Francis Moes John Kanzenbach Our Lady of Mercy, (4th Cl., W) Commemoration James Kanzenbach for the Pope by Brian & Leslie Moes David Stillwell Wed., Sep., 25 Votive Mass of St. Joseph, (4th Cl., G) Felicity Seng 8.00 a.m. Commemoration for the Pope by Seng family Thur., Sep., 26 Sts.

  • Piety, Practices of Reading, and Inquisition. a Catalan Saint Cyprian Prayer from 1557 and Its Context1
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica 64(2), 279–310 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/022.2019.64.2.2 Piety, Practices of Reading, and Inquisition. A Catalan Saint Cyprian Prayer from 1557 and Its Context1 Bernadett Smid Senior Lecturer, Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Humanities, Institute of Ethnography and Folklore, Department of Folklore, Hungary Abstract: The author of this article focuses on a defendant of an Inquisition trial (1641–1644) and its sources, namely a healing hermit and the Saint Cyprian prayer, published in Catalan in 1557 and used by the hermit as a verbal charm. Beyond the philological and folkloristic study of the prayer text, this paper presents the vulgarisation of reading skills and the realization of reading practice in a specific social context in the Principality of Catalonia. The author uses the most important and relevant theological literature of the period and the attestations of the trial as keys of reading. She pays special attention to the context of prayer and its actual social use. Her aim is to analyse the textual elements and gestures of the healing rite; hence, she investigates the probable readings of the healing specialist, which makes possible to reach a deeper understanding of the hermit’s role as a cultural mediator. Keywords: popular healing, charm, prayer of Saint Cyprian, reading practices, Catalan popular culture, 17th century, Inquisition, Solsona “Reading is always a practice embodied in gestures, spaces, and habits.” (Chartier 1992:51) INTRODUCTION Researchers of the history of reading have drawn attention to the fact that prints and chapbook publications found their way into the life of the “people” in many ways.

  • Foxe's Book of Martyrs
    FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS CHAPTER I - History of Christian Martyrs to the First General Persecutions Under Nero Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue. Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy. First, that Christ hath set up a Church, needeth no declaration. Secondly, what force of princes, kings, monarchs, governors, and rulers of this world, with their subjects, publicly and privately, with all their strength and cunning, have bent themselves against this Church! And, thirdly, how the said Church, all this notwithstanding, hath yet endured and holden its own! What storms and tempests it hath overpast, wondrous it is to behold: for the more evident declaration whereof, I have addressed this present history, to the end, first, that the wonderful works of God in His Church might appear to His glory; also that, the continuance and proceedings of the Church, from time to time, being set forth, more knowledge and experience may redound thereby, to the profit of the reader and edification of Christian faith.

  • Cyprian of Antioch Confession and Martyrdom Coptic
    Cyprian of Antioch Confession and Martyrdom Translation of the Coptic version Anthony Alcock The following is a relatively simple English version of the above-mentioned texts contained in a book that used to belong to the Monastery of Michael the Archangel at Phantoou near Hamouli in the Fayyum and has since found its way into the Pierpont Morgan Library (USA) with the designation M 609. The texts occupy fols. 53r to 100v. The text on each page is written in two columns of between 28 and 32 lines. There is a diagonal tear at the bottom of each page with the result that several lines in one of the columns can no longer be read, e.g. on page 4 the right-hand column is affected and page 5 the left, and I have indicated this gap simply by dots without specifying the number of the partially or wholly missing lines, usually between 3 and 5. The text is cited in W. E. Crum Coptic Dictionary as Mor 18, which means vol. 18 of the photograph edition.1 The texts have a colophon, which comes after the double title at the end of the two texts: it is faint, but there is a transcription of both in A. van Lantschoot Receuil des colophons des manuscrits chrétiens d'Égypte (1929) p. 50 and it can be found at the end after the two texts. It contains no information about the date of the texts, the scribe, the donor or the translator. Of the first text, the metanoia (Confession or Repentance)2, there is a Greek version (probably the original).

  • STROGANOV MINYEIAS OCTOBER Side a Row 1
    STROGANOV MINYEIAS OCTOBER Side A Row 1 October 1: Protection of the Mother of God [written Intercession of the Mother of God] - This feast commem- orates a vision of the Holy Fool Saint Andrew. The saint and his disciple Epiphanios were in a Constantino- ple Church when they saw a vision of the Mother of God coming through the Royal Doors in a procession with Angels, John the Baptist, and John the Evangelist. After praying for the souls of humanity the Mother of God laid her robe over the congregation of the church as a symbol of her protection over the faithful. On this feast the faithful commemorate the Mother of God as a protector and intercessor. October 1: Saint Ananias was an early disciple of Christ and is mentioned in Acts 9:10. He was com- manded by God to go to the house where Saul, later renamed Paul, was located and reverse his blind- ness. He was later martyred under orders of the prefect Lucian. October 1: Saint Romanos the Melodist was a 5th century Christian and Deacon at the Church of the Mother of God at Kyrou. He was a well respected as an ascetic but was often teased for his poor singing voice. Saint Romanos was disturbed by this and spent many hours in fervent prayer on the matter. It is said that he had a vision of the Mother of God who handed him a scroll and commanded that he swallow it. From that moment forward he became renowned not just for his beautiful singing but also as a composer of hymns.

  • Roman Martyrology by Month
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com Roman Martyrology by Month 1916 Edition January February March April May June July August September October November December The following is the complete text of the Roman Martyrology circa 1900 A.D. Many more Saints and Martyrs have since been entered into this calendar commemorating the heroic faith, the holy deeds, the exemplary lives, and in many cases the glorious deaths of these Milites Christi, or Soldiers of Christ, who gave 1 every fiber of their being to God for His glory, for the sanctification of His Holy Catholic Church, for the conversion of sinners both at home and in partibus infidelium 1, for the salvation of souls, and for the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even as He had last commanded His holy Apostles: “Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Docentes eos servare omnia quæcumque mandavi vobis.” “Going therefore, teach all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (St. Matthew 28.19-20) While the Martyrology presented is complete, it nevertheless does not present us with great detail concerning the lives of those whose names are forever indited within it, still less the complete circumstances surrounding and leading up to their martyrdom. For greater detail of their lives, the sources now available on the Internet are extensive and we encourage you to explore them.2 As it stands, the Martyrology is eminently suited to a brief daily reflection that will inspire us to greater fervor, even to imitate these conspicuously holy men and women in whatever measure our own state in life affords us through the grace and providence of Almighty God.
