    Saint Joseph de Clairval Abbey Letter of November 15, 2012, Feast of Saint Albert the Great Dear Friends, N the afternoon of January 29, 1920, in Cernusco sul Naviglio, near Milan, two nuns from the Marcelline Sisters, accompanied by their chaplain, watched as three deceased religious were exhumed, so that theirO remains might be transferred to the convent cemetery. The scene promised nothing to celebrate, yet... Time had done its work on the bodies of the first two sisters exhumed. But when the grave-digger came to the cof- fin of the third, Sister Maria Anna Sala, he found it so heavy that he thought the mortal remains were not decomposed. In fact, when the cas- ket was opened, there was the intact body, with a fresh and rosy face, under the shroud which had remained as white as snow. The chaplain, who had d e v r e not known Sister Sala, concluded, “This was a young Sister. She could not s e r s t have been more than 30 years old.” But, at the time of her death, Sister Maria h g i r l l Anna was 62 years old, and then she had been buried for 29 years ! A B les la Informed of the event, the Superior General of the sed Sa Maria Anna Sisters of Saint Marcellina put this unusual discovery in the Lord’s hands. A few days later, Sister Gulfi began suf- fering from hemorrhages so serious that surgery was considered. The Mother General asked the sick sister to mind. When she was thirteen, she was sent to a school pray to the Sacred Heart of JESUS for three days that, that had been opened the year before in Vimercate by through Sister Maria Anna Sala’s intervention, the oper- the Marcelline Sisters.

  • MARIA ANNA SALA of the Sisters of Saint Marcelline
    Blessed MARIA ANNA SALA of the Sisters of Saint Marcelline Marcelline Edition New edition by Sister Vittoria Bertoni 3rd edition Milan – May 2020 Introduction «A great and strong wind passed that split the mountains and shattered the rocks - but the Lord was not in the wind. There was a fire - but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the soft whisper of a voice. And the Lord was in that soft whisper» (see 1 King 19, 11 13). The type of holiness of Maria Anna Sala makes us think of that calm and quiet voice, in which God was present. In order to reach great heights to soar free and joyous to the peaks of the spirit, we must, first, sink to the lowest depths of humility and live trusting in God, who can accomplish everything. This is the message that Maria Anna Sala conveyed all through her life. A hymn to God, a continuous prayer, while becoming more and more absorbed in the mystery of Jesus Christ, who knew the humility of the sepulchre; a confident progress of faith clearly knowing she was loved by God, whilst her being was possessed by Love and was singing to Love. Sister Maria Anna Sala dedicated herself totally to the religious observance of the Rules of her Congregation and to apostolic work, with an incomparable spirit of sacrifice. She was a very humble and shy person, but God had endowed her with such remarkable intellect that she was quickly recognized as a teacher of outstanding value, who gave to her pupils not only formal education and this in an age when women were kept away from intellectual learning - but also wisdom and the fear of the Lord.

Come by and see us. SQPN Saint Agatha of Sicily Memorial 5 February Profile We have little reliable information about this martyr, who has been honoured since ancient times, and whose name is included in the canon of the Mass. Young, beautiful and rich, Agatha lived a life consecrated to God. When Decius announced the edicts against Christians, the magistrate Quinctianus tried to profit by Agatha's sanctity; he planned to blackmail her into sex in exchange for not charging her. Handed over to a brothel, she refused to accept customers. After rejecting Quinctianus's advances, she was beaten, imprisoned, tortured, her breasts were crushed and cut off. She told the judge, "Cruel man, have you forgotten your mother and the breast that nourished you, that you dare to mutilate me this way?" One version has it that Saint Peter healed her.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See PASTORAL VISIT TO THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MILAN AND 7th WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES (1-3 JUNE 2012) CELEBRATION OF MID-MORNING PRAY ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI Milan's Cathedral Saturday, 2 June 2012 [Video] Dear Brothers and Sisters, We are gathered in prayer, responding to the invitation of the Ambrosian Hymn for the Hour of Terce. “It is the third hour. The wounded Jesus mounts the Cross”. This is a clear reference to Jesus’ loving obedience to the Father’s will. The Paschal Mystery has given rise to a new season: the death and Resurrection of Christ recreate innocence in humanity and elicit joy. In fact, the hymn continues: “From this the era of salvation begins — Hinc iam beata tempora coepere Christi gratia”. We are gathered in the Cathedral Basilica, in this Cathedral, which is truly the heart of Milan. From here our thoughts extend to the immense Archdiocese of Milan which down the centuries and also in recent times has given the Church men outstanding in holiness of life and in their ministry, like St Ambrose and St Charles, Popes of uncommon stature, such as Pius XI and the Servant of God Paul VI, as well as the Blesseds, Cardinal Andrea Carlo Ferrari and Cardinal Ildefonso Schuster. I am very pleased to spend a little time with you! I address an affectionate thought of greeting to you all and to each one in particular, and I would like to reach out in a special way to those who are ill or very elderly.
