POPE ST. PIUS x - September 3rd ST. RAYMOND NONNATUS - August 31st

St. Raymond Nonnatus was born in Portell during the 13th century, when his mother had already died. The Vis- of Cardona, who took the child out of his mother's womb by his dag- ger; hence, he acquired the nick- name Nonnatus (not born).

Joining the Mecedarian Order founded by St. , Raymond was eventually appointed a redeemer, and during a redemption campaign in Al- giers his lips were padlocked and he suffered other tortures.

Raymond’s life was dedicated to redemptive service, enduring the same sufferings as the captives, and sus- tained by the strength of the Eucharist, filial devotion to the Mother of God and mother of mankind.

According to tradition, the Pope decided to appoint him cardinal with the titular church of Eu- ST. MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA - September 5th stace, a Roman basilica near the Pantheon, where his image is preserved; but, while he was traveling to Avignon, he died in Cardona. Having no priest who could administer Viaticum to him, he received it miraculously, administered by Jesus Christ Him- self accompanied by angels dressed in the Merce- darian habit, as depicted in the iconography. From there his remains were translated to the hermitage of in Portell.

St. Raymond Nonnatus is the most popular Merce- darian saint, due especially to the activity of the Mercedarian missionaries to the nations who took him as their patron. For this reason, his image can be found scattered throughout the world with sev- eral elements that identify him, such as the palm of martyrdom with the triple crown, and the mon- strance with the Blessed Sacrament in his right hand. Because of the miraculous instance of his birth, he is the of expectant mothers, who turn to him for protection at the moment of birth. In some countries, they pray to him also as the patron saint of pro-life institutions.
