SUMMARY:Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost–G (II) - The Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary–W (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:The feast is a celebration of Mary’s motherhood of Jesus. The English title “Mother of God” is a translation of the Latin title Dei Genetrix\, which means “She Who Generated God\,” as the corresponding Greek title Te?t???? (Theotokos) means “She Who Gave Birth to God.” This title was dogmatically adopted at the First Council of Ephesus (431) as a way to assert that Jesus is God\, and that his mother can therefore be called Mother of God.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV)
DESCRIPTION:ST. WILFRID. “A quick walker\, expert at all good works\, with never a sour face\,” such was the great St. Wilfrid\, whose glory it was to secure the happy links which bound England to Rome. He was born about the year 634\, and was trained by the Celtic monks at Lindisfarne in the peculiar rites and usages of the British Church. Yet even as a boy Wilfrid longed for perfect conformity in discipline\, as in doctrine\, with the Holy See\, and at the first chance set off himself for Rome. On his return he founded at Ripon a strictly Roman monastery\, under the rule of St. Benedict. In the year 664 he was elected Bishop of Lindisfarne\, and five years later was transferred to the see of York. He had to combat the passions of wicked kings\, the cowardice of worldly prelates\, the errors of holy men. He was twice exiled and once imprisoned; yet the battle which he fought was won. He swept away the abuses of many years and a too national system\, and substituted instead a vigorous Catholic discipline\, modelled and dependent on Rome. He died October 12\, 709\, and at his death was heard the sweet melody of the angels conducting his soul to Christ.

SUMMARY:St. Edward\, King\, Confessor–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:King Edward the Confessor reigned in England from the end of the Danish rule (1042) to the Norman conquest (1066). His subjects praised his simplicity\, gentleness\, humility\, and purity. He made a practice of standing at his palace gate\, speaking kindly to the beggars and lepers who crowded about him\, and often he wrought cures among them. England grew prosperous during his rule of almost unbroken peace\, and for ages afterward the people spoke with affection of the “laws of good St. Edward.”

SUMMARY:St. Hedwig\, Widow–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:Hedwig (c. 1174-1243)\, the aunt of St. Elizabeth of Hungary\, was married at an early age to Henry\, Duke of Silesia. After their six children had been born\, they both strove to advance in sanctity and to enrich Silesia and Poland with monasteries\, hospitals\, and leper asylums. When Henry died in 1238\, Hedwig took the habit of the Cistercian nuns at Trebnitz (where one of her daughters was the abbess)\, but retained the administration of her property so that she could give personal relief to the suffering.

SUMMARY:St. Margaret Mary Alacoque\, Virgin–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:MARGARET MARY was born at Terreau in Burgundy\, on the 22d July\, 1647. During her infancy she showed a wonderfully sensitive horror of the very idea of sin. In 1671 she entered the Order of the Visitation\, at Paray-le-Monial\, and was professed the following year. After purifying her by many trials\, Jesus appeared to her in numerous visions\, displaying to her His Sacred Heart\, sometimes burning as a furnace\, and sometimes torn and bleeding on account of the coldness and sins of men. In. 1675 the great revelation was made to her that she\, in union with Father de la Colombière\, of the Society of Jesus\, was to be the chief instrument for instituting the feast of the Sacred Heart\, and for spreading that devotion throughout the world. She died on the 17th October\, 1690.\nReflection.—Love for the Sacred Heart especially honors the Incarnation\, and makes the soul grow rapidly in humility\, generosity\, patience\, and union with its Beloved.

SUMMARY:St. John Cantius\, Confessor–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:ST. JOHN was born at Kenty in Poland in 1403\, and studied at Cracow with great ability\, industry\, and success\, while his modesty and virtue drew all hearts to him. He was for a short time in charge of a parish; but he shrank from the burden of responsibility\, and returned to his life of professor at Cracow. There for many years he lived a life of unobtrusive virtue\, self-denial\, and charity. His love for the Holy See led him often in pilgrimage to Rome\, on foot and alone\, and his devotion to the Passion drew him once to Jerusalem\, where he hoped to win a martyr’s crown by preaching to the Turks. He died in 1473\, at the age of seventy. The Roman Breviary distinguishes him with three hymns; he is the only confessor not a bishop who has been given this honor in the Roman Catholic liturgy.\nReflection.—He who orders all his doings according to the will of God may often be spoken of by the world as simple and stupid; but in the end he wins the esteem and confidence of the world itself\, and the approval and peace of God.

SUMMARY:St. Raphael the Archangel–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:In the New Testament\, only the archangels Gabriel and Michael are mentioned by name (Luke 1:9-26; Jude 1:9). Later manuscripts of John 5:1-4 refer to the pool at Bethesda\, where the multitude of the infirm lay awaiting the moving of the water\, for “an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.” Because of the healing role assigned to Raphael\, this particular angel is generally associated with the archangel.

SUMMARY:THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING–W (I)
DESCRIPTION:The royalty of Christ rests upon a twofold basis. He is our King by right of birth and by right of conquest. The first refers us to the personality of the Son of God\, whereby\, in His divine nature as God and by virtue of the hypostatic union\, He is the sovereign Lord and Master. The second places before us the God-Man coming down on earth to rescue fallen man from the slavery of Satan\, and by the labors and sufferings of His life\, and passion\, and death\, to win a glorious victory for us over sin and hell. The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ\, King of the Universe (commonly referred to as the Feast of Christ the King) is a relatively recent addition to the western liturgical calendar\, having been instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI.

In the course of their voyage the vessel touched at a certain port\, and the barbarians of that country put the crew and all the passengers to the sword\, except the two children. They were carried to the king\, at Axuma\, who\, charmed with the wit and sprightliness of the two boys\, took special care of their education; and\, not long after made Edesius his cup-bearer\, and Frumentius\, who was the elder\, his treasurer and secretary of state; on his death-bed he thanked them for their services\, and in recompense gave them their liberty. After his death the queen begged them to remain a court\, and assist her in the government of the state until the young king came of age. Edesius went back to Tyre\, but St. Athanasius ordained Frumentius Bishop of the Ethiopians\, and vested with this sacred character he gained great numbers to the Faith\, and continued to feed and defend his flock until it pleased the Supreme Pastor to recompense his fidelity and labors.\nReflection.—“The soul that journeys in the light and the truths of the Faith is safe against all error.”

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV)
DESCRIPTION:ST. NARCISSUS was consecrated Bishop of Jerusalem about the year 180. He was already an old man\, and God attested his merits by many miracles\, which were long held in memory by the Christians of Jerusalem. One Holy Saturday in the church the faithful were in great trouble\, because no oil could be found for the lamps which were used in the Paschal feast. St. Narcissus bade them draw water from a neighboring well\, and\, praying over it\, told them to put it in the lamps. It was changed into oil\, and long after some of this oil was preserved at Jerusalem in memory of the miracle. But the very virtue of the Saint made him enemies\, and three wretched men charged him with an atrocious crime. They confirmed their testimony by horrible imprecations: the first prayed that he might perish by fire\, the second that he might be wasted by leprosy\, the third that he might be struck blind\, if they charged their bishop falsely. The holy bishop had long desired a life of solitude\, and he withdrew secretly into the desert\, leaving the Church in peace. But God spoke for His servant\, and the bishop’s accusers suffered the penalties they had invoked. Then Narcissus returned to Jerusalem and resumed his office. He died in extreme old age\, bishop to the last.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV)
DESCRIPTION:ST. MARCELLUS\, THE CENTURION\, Martyr. THE birthday of the Emperor Maximian Herculeus\, in the year 298\, was celebrated with extraordinary feasting and solemnity. Marcellus\, a Christian centurion or captain in the legion of Trajan\, then posted in Spain\, not to defile himself with taking part in those impious abominations\, left his company\, declaring aloud that he was a soldier of Jesus Christ\, the eternal King. He was at once committed to prison. When the festival was over\, Marcellus was brought before a judge\, and\, having declared his faith\, was sent under a strong guard to Aurelian Agricolaus\, vicar to the prefect of the praetorium\, who passed sentence of death upon him. St. Marcellus was forthwith led to execution\, and beheaded on the 30th of October. Cassian\, the secretary or notary of the court\, refused to write the sentence pronounced against the martyr\, because it was unjust. He was immediately hurried to prison\, and was beheaded\, about a month after\, on the 3d of December.

SUMMARY:Our Lady on Saturdays–W (IV)
DESCRIPTION:ST. QUINTIN was a Roman\, descended from a senatorial family. Full of zeal for the kingdom of Jesus Christ\, he left his country\, and\, attended by St. Lucian of Beauvais\, made his way to Gaul. They preached the Faith together in that country till they reached Amiens in Picardy\, where they parted. Lucian went to Beauvais\, and\, having sown the seeds of divine faith in the hearts of many\, received the crown of martyrdom in that city. St. Quintin stayed at Amiens\, endeavoring by his prayers and labors to make that country a portion of Our Lord’s inheritance. He was seized\, thrown into prison\, and loaded with chains. Finding the holy preacher proof against promises and threats\, the magistrate condemned him to the most barbarous torture. His body was then pierced with two iron wires from the neck to the thighs\, and iron nails were thrust under his nails\, and in his flesh in many places\, particularly into his skull; and\, lastly\, his head was cut off. His death happened on the 31st of October\, 287.\nReflection.—Let us bear in mind that the ills of this life are not worthy to be compared to the glory “God has reserved for those who love Him.”

SUMMARY:Holy Day of Obligation: THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS-W (I) - Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost
DESCRIPTION:The feast of All Saints achieved great prominence in the 9th century\, in the reign of the Byzantine Emperor\, Leo VI “the Wise” (886-911). His wife\, Empress Theophano – commemorated on 16 December – lived a devout life. After her death in 893\, her husband built a church\, intending to dedicate it to her. When he was forbidden to do so\, he decided to dedicate it to “All Saints\,” so that if his wife were in fact one of the righteous\, she would also be honored whenever the feast was celebrated. According to tradition\, it was Leo who expanded the feast from a commemoration of All Martyrs to a general commemoration of All Saints\, whether martyrs or not.

SUMMARY:ALL SOULS DAY–B (I)
DESCRIPTION:The setting aside of a particular day for praying not for certain named individuals but for whole classes of the departed or for the dead in general cannot be traced to the earliest Christian centuries\, but was well established by the end of the first millennium. Prayers for the deceased members of Benedictine monasteries were offered in the week after Pentecost and the practice of praying for the dead at a date near Pentecost was also followed in Spain in the 7th century.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV)
DESCRIPTION:ST. BERTILLE\, Abbess. ST. BERTILLE was born of one of the most illustrious families in the territory of Soissons\, in the reign of Dagobert I. As she grew up she learned perfectly to despise the world\, and earnestly desired to renounce it. Not daring to tell this to her parents\, she first consulted St. Ouen\, by whom she was encouraged in her resolution. The Saint’s parents were then made acquainted with her desire\, which God inclined them not to oppose. They conducted her to Jouarre\, a great monastery in Brie\, four leagues from Meaux\, where she was received with great joy and trained up in the strictest practice of monastic perfection. By her perfect submission to all her sisters she seemed every one’s servant\, and acquitted herself with such great charity land edification that she was chosen prioress to assist the abbess in her administration. About the year 646 she was appointed first abbess of the abbey of Chelles\, which she governed for forty-six years with equal vigor and discretion\, until she closed her penitential life in 692.
