The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion 1694-1775 Volume 2 – 1741-1775 Father Louis Therese of Jesus Agonizing, C.P. 1873 Fr. Simon Woods, C.P. (Translated from the third French Edition) 1959 (INDEX TO VOLUME TWO ON FINAL PAGES) CHAPTER TWENTY MISSIONS TO THE SOLDIERS AND INHABITANTS OF ORBETELLO, PORTERCOLE AND PORTO LONGONE 1741 - 1742 There is a similarity between a Religious Order and an immortal soul. Each has its own special grace that prepares it for that work that Almighty God wills it to accomplish. Now that the Congregation of the Passion has its official mandate from the Holy See “to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified,” we can examine what is this grace, what is its efficacy, and what will be the fruits it will reap. Soon, we will see Paul of the Cross take his flight from his aery on the heights of Monte Argentario, and spread the wings of an apostle. It is almost meridian of this fiery sun whose flame will enkindle the world. Paul is forty-seven years of age - the age of maturity, of vitality, the age that produces more thorough and more lasting results than the age of youth. Moreover, he was, by an extraordinary grace, endowed with a rich disposition which never withers with age nor fades with time, but ripens to a richer and more fruitful maturity. He will carry the fire of his zeal undimmed, even to his very last years, and more often than in the preceding pages we will relate one miracle after another. Once again it is the field of battle. Whilst invaders redden with human blood the earth they devastate, and conquests far from satisfying their ambition, yet too much for their own sepulcher, God makes their greed redound to His glory, to the triumph of His Church and to the salvation of souls. The death of the Emperor, Charles VI, was the beginning of the famous War of Succession against Austria, a war immortalized by the heroic cry of Hungary, “Let us die for our Queen, Marie-Therese.” Pretenders struggled with one another to possess different sections of Empire. The Kings of Spain and of the Two Sicilies claimed for the Infanto, Don Phillip, Lombardy, Parma and Placentia, and had heavily reinforced the garrisons along the coast of Tuscany. On their side, the Austrian troops were advancing and massing their forces. Everything presaged the approaching thunder of battle. The commanding General of the armies of the League, the Duke of Sangro, desiring that his soldiers prepare themselves for battle like true Christians, invited the Saint from Monte Argentario to preach a mission to them at Orbetello, Portercole and Porto Longone. The apostle went down to Orbetello, accompanied by his chosen companion, Angelo d’ Stefano, still a novice. On an open plain a platform had been erected from which Paul preached to a vast assembly of soldiers - Italian, Spanish, French and Swiss. God repeated here the miracle He had worked in the early days of the Church. Although Paul preached in his native Italian tongue, yet each of the foreign soldiers understood every word as though it had been spoken in their own language and 2 missed not a word. The sermons, like a two-edged sword, penetrated every heart, even the most hardened in sin. At the tone of his voice, now fearful and threatening like justice, now affectionate and pleading like mercy, the tears, the sobs, the cries of fear or of hope that were heard on every side made the scene one of indescribable wonder. Emotion reached a climax when the Saint scourged himself with a heavy iron chain until his shoulders were lacerated and streaming with blood. The officers nearest the platform rushed forward and snatched the bloodstained scourge out of his hand, whilst the cries of distress and pity rent the air. From the lips of all came the pleas, “Pardon. Pardon. Mercy. Enough, Father. We are converted.” “Men and women, soldiers, even persons of the highest rank, all who had been at enmity with others,” said an officer who was an eye-witness, “were reconciled there in public and begged pardon of each other. Then were carried to the platform and placed at the feet of the preacher obscene and profane books, dice, etc., which Paul burnt in the presence of all, a sight which in itself excited those assisting him to repentance.” Scarcely had he descended the platform than all, rich and poor, officers and soldiers, assembled in a body around his confessional. Let us quote the simple and sincere testimony of a soldier, which we are compelled to abridge. “Father Paul preached with such fervor that his very face seemed on fire, and the tone of his voice filled the hearts of sinners with terror? It penetrated to the very depths of their soul, and they were converted indeed, the power of the word of God was visible. …The terror that Father Paul aroused during the beginning of his sermon was tempered by the gentleness with which he concluded. He softened all hearts and encouraged them to trust in God and to hope for pardon. And the people, moved to contrition, shed abundant tears. I saw it all with my own eyes. …It is quite true that the seed Father Paul sowed in preaching, he reaped in the confessional. He showed such tender charity in hearing confessions that several soldiers, who feared to go to confession because of their many sins, were persuaded by their companions who had already been. And they, too, found in the missioner charity, understanding and an extraordinary gentleness towards all, especially towards the greatest sinner and the most wretched. I have heard this from the soldiers themselves. …It is indeed true that the preaching of Father Paul produced astonishing conversions in Orbetello…” Among the soldiers in the Swiss regiment were a great number of Lutherans and Calvinists. When they saw the effects of this mission, the like of which they had never seen in their own religion, awed by the burning charity of the apostle, overcome by the power and the sanctity of his words and, at the same time, enlightened by divine grace, they exclaimed, “Such a preacher can only be the preacher of truth.” And through the true apostle they found the true Church. They came in a crowd to the platform and proclaimed publicly that they wished to abjure the errors of heresy. Among them was a young man of noble bearing, who exclaimed in good Italian, with the conviction of faith that moved all hearts, “I abjure, I detest and I despise the sect of which until this day I have been a member. I am convinced that it is false. I confess and believe that the Roman Catholic Church is the one true Church established by Jesus Christ.” Who could express the tenderness with which Paul pressed them all to his heart. 3 With paternal solicitude he instructed them in the truths of the faith and prepared them himself for their reception into the Church. The number of abjurations, which could be counted in the circumstances, amounted to seventy. Such, therefore, is the power of a saint: to see him, to hear him, to meet him is, in itself, an evident demonstration of the truth of the Catholic Church. God blessed and ratified the words of His apostle by the most astonishing prodigies. We will relate only some of them, so extraordinary are they, that if they were not found in the most authentic sources, the Processes of Canonization, we would not dare to mention them. Here is one which showed the authority of the Saint over the powers of hell, and filled the hearts of all with a salutary fear. One night, after the heavy fatigue of the day, Paul was taking a little rest. A sergeant of the regiment of Namur ran to the house and, beating loudly upon the door, shouted, “Father Paul, come quickly. Hurry. At headquarters the devil is trying to carry away one of the soldiers.” The Missioner arose quickly from his bed, took his crucifix and ran to the scene. Surrounded by a tumultuous crowd, as many people as soldiers, he saw with his own eyes the unfortunate soldier, white and trembling with fear, being carried by an invisible power. “Save me,” shouted the victim. “The devil is carrying me away.” Paul first commanded the evil spirit and then spoke to the soldier, “Fear not. I am here to help you. Repent of your sins; that is sufficient.” At the same time he endeavored to inspire in him a great confidence in the mercy of God and in the merits of Jesus Christ, urging him to break all pacts with the devil. Those present, and especially the soldiers of the regiment, were seized with terror. Paul commanded with authority the enemy of souls, who eventually took flight. The soldier was disfigured after such violent blows, and was so weakened that he could scarcely stand on his feet. Father Paul asked him if he could see the devil. The soldier replied that he could not. Then he begged Paul to hear his confession. The Saint put a rosary around the neck of the soldier and told him not to be frightened, for he had in the beads a powerful protection against the forces of evil. Then he added that he would hear his confession in the morning. Next morning the soldier was waiting, but, as he was French and did not speak Italian well enough to make his confession in Italian, Father Paul took “‘him to the Chaplain of the regiment.

  • ENDER's GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third
    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

  • Because the Deaf Man in Today's Gospel Recognized His Disability, He
    For Use September 4-5, 23rd Sunday Ordinary Time, B Stewardship by the Book The good steward must not show favoritism. The rich may have many material gifts to share, but St. James reminds us in the second reading that God has chosen the world=s poor to be rich in faith and inheritors of God=s kingdom. Vocation View Did not God choose those who are poor in the eyes of world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom? Count your blessings, then come and help others count theirs too. Stewardship Reflections “Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?” JAMES 2:5 What is more important – being rich in faith or rich in possessions? Society tells us that possessions are most important. God teaches a different lesson. When we are rich in faith, we keep God first and experience true joy and peace. When we put possessions first, we soon realize we can never have enough and happiness is fleeting. When we put faith over possessions we truly realize it is better to give than receive. Family Perspective by Bud Ozar Because the deaf man in today’s gospel recognized his disability, he could seek help from Jesus. Deafness abounds in families: in our children (“Oh dad, not that again”) in parents (“It is just a stage”) and in spouses (“Are you listening?”). Before Jesus can enter your home and heal, you must first recognize your deafness.

  • In-Between-July-2021-Jm
    IN BETWEEN Holy Cross Province July 2021 A Prayer for Times of Transition God of Love, You are with us in every transition and change. As we enter into this new era with excitement and even some anxiety, we recall your deep compassion, presence and abounding love. We thank you for the gifts, talents and skills with which you have blessed us. We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment. We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work. Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another. We ask this in your Holy Name. Amen --Joseph P. Shadle Dear Passionist Family: It is a time of transition. Slowly, grandparents can hug their grandchildren again. Sons and daughters can connect with their parents and loved ones. Friends can finally come together after such a long time. Yes, families and friends are now able to celebrate the significant events of their lives. In fact, I have two family weddings coming this fall. Our own Passionist parish and retreat center ministries, and the opportunity to preach parish missions, are coming back to life. Together, we are now invited back to worship in the name of Jesus at our parish church, participate in retreats and parish missions, and collectively transition with new graces and energy serving our brothers and sisters in need, the crucified of today. These are sacred moments. These moments of transition are not only associated with the past, but we are challenged to create something new for today and into the future, with the help of God.
