  • May 17, St. Paschal Baylon, Confessor
    MAY 17, ST. PASCHAL BAYLON, CONFESSOR Errors? [email protected] St. Paschal Baylon, was a simple lay brother of the Franciscan Order, and, by preference, occupied himself with the roughest and most servile tasks. He was distinguished by an ardent love and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. He died in the odor of sanctity; May 15, 1592. Even after death his body moved and his eyes opened in an act of adoration when the priest raised up the sacred host at the elevation in the Mass. Pope Leo XIII declared him protector of all Eucharistic Congresses and works.

  • Cooking with the Saints November
    Meet St. Martin de Porres Martin was born in Lima, Peru in 1579 and had a tough childhood. His parents never married each other and after the birth of a sister, his father abandoned the family. Martin was bi-racial and reared in poverty, locked into a low level of Lima’s society. When he was 12, his mother apprenticed him to a barber-surgeon. Martin learned how to cut hair and also how to draw blood, care for wounds, and prepare and administer medicines. After a few years, Martin applied to the Dominicans to be a “lay helper,” not feeling himself worthy to be a religious brother. After nine years, the example of his prayer, penance, charity and humility led the community to request him to make full religious profession. Many of his nights were spent in prayer; his days were filled with nursing the sick and caring for the poor. It was particularly impressive at that time that he treated all people regardless of their color, race, or status. He was instrumental in founding an orphanage, took care of slaves brought from Africa, and managed the daily alms of the monastery with practicality, as well as generosity. Side by side with his daily work in the kitchen, laundry, and infirmary, Martin’s life reflected God’s extraordinary gifts and many extraordinary miracles took place in Martin's life: ecstasies that lifted him into the air, light filling the room where he prayed, bi-location, miraculous knowledge, instantaneous cures, and a remarkable rapport with animals. He was a good friend of another saint of Peru, Rose of Lima.
