SUMMARY:(f/pa) Ember Saturday–V (II) - In USA & Canada: Sts. John de Brebeuf\, Isaac Jogues\, and Companions\, Martyrs–R (Comm.) - Sts. Cyprian & Justina\, Martyrs
DESCRIPTION:ST. JEAN DE BRÉBEUF (25 March 1593 – 16 March 1649) was a French Jesuit missionary who travelled to New France (Canada) in 1625. There he worked primarily with the Huron for the rest of his life\, except for a few years in France from 1629 to 1633. He learned their language and culture\, writing extensively about each to aid other missionaries. In 1649\, Brébeuf and another missionary were captured when an Iroquois raid took over a Huron village (referred to in French as St. Louis). Together with Huron captives\, the missionaries were ritually tortured and killed on 16 March 1649. Brébeuf was beatified in 1925 and among eight Jesuit missionaries canonized as saints in the Catholic Church in 1930. ST. ISAAC JOGUES\, S.J. (January 10\, 1607 – October 18\, 1646) was a Jesuit priest\, missionary and martyr who traveled and worked among the native populations in North America. He gave the original European name to Lake George\, calling it Lac du Saint Sacrement\, Lake of the Blessed Sacrament. In 1646\, Jogues was martyred by the Mohawk at their village of Ossernenon\, a site near present-day Auriesville\, New York.

SUMMARY:Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost–G (II) - Sts. Cosmas & Damian\, Martyrs
DESCRIPTION:Cosmas and Damianus ( died c. ad 287) were reputed twin brothers\, physicians\, and early Christian martyrs. They practiced their profession in the seaport of Aegeae\, then in the Roman province of Syria. Accepting no payment for their services led to them being named Anarguroi (?????????\, “Unmercenaries”); it has been said that\, by this\, they attracted many to the Christian faith.

SUMMARY:St. Wenceslaus\, Duke\, Martyr–R (III)
DESCRIPTION:His martyrdom\, and the popularity of several biographies\, quickly gave rise to a reputation for heroic goodness\, resulting in his being elevated to sainthood\, posthumously declared king\, and seen as the patron saint of the Czech state. He is the subject of “Good King Wenceslas\,” a Saint Stephen’s Day carol written over 900 years later\, in 1853\, that remains popular to this day.

SUMMARY:DEDICATION OF ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL–W (I)
DESCRIPTION:Michael is mentioned three times in the Book of Daniel\, once as a “great prince who stands up for the children of your people.” The idea that Michael was the advocate of the Jews became so prevalent that in spite of the rabbinical prohibition against appealing to angels as intermediaries between God and his people\, Michael came to occupy a certain place in the Jewish liturgy.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV) - St. Remigius\, Bishop\, Confessor–W (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:Remigius became bishop of Rheims by popular acclaim in 459\, the period when the Franks from Germany were overrunning Roman Gaul.

SUMMARY:Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost–G (II) - St. Francis of Assisi\, Confessor
DESCRIPTION:ST. FRANCIS\, the son of a merchant of Assisi\, was born in that city in 1182. Chosen by God to be a living manifestation to the world of Christ’s poor and suffering life on earth\, he was early inspired with a high esteem and burning love of poverty and humiliation. The thought of the Man of Sorrows\, Who had not where to lay His head\, filled him with holy envy of the poor\, and constrained him to renounce the wealth and worldly station which he abhorred. The scorn and hard usage which he met with from his father and townsmen when he appeared among them in the garb of poverty were delightful to him. “Now\,” he exclaimed\, “I can say truly\, ‘Our Father Who art in heaven.’” But divine love burned in him too mightily not to kindle like desires in other hearts. Many joined themselves to him\, and were constituted by Pope Innocent III. into a religious Order\, which spread rapidly throughout Christendom. St. Francis\, after visiting the East in the vain quest of martyrdom\, spent his life like his Divine Master—now in preaching to the multitudes\, now amid desert solitudes in fasting and contemplation. During one of these retreats he received on his hands\, feet\, and side the print of the five bleeding wounds of Jesus. With the cry\, “Welcome\, sister Death\,” he passed to the glory of his God October 4\, 1226.\nReflection.—“My God and my all\,” St. Francis’ constant prayer\, explains both his poverty and his wealth.

SUMMARY:St. Bruno\, Confessor–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:As a young priest\, Bruno (1030-1101) was a brilliant teacher at the cathedral school of Rheims. He became rector of that school and later chancellor of the diocese. In 1084 he withdrew to the wilderness of Chartreuse and founded there a monastery of monk-hermits which grew into the Carthusian Institute\, the most penitential of all contemplative communities. His character\, far from being harsh\, was marked by serene gaiety and tender charity. Saint Bruno is Patron of those who suffer from demonic possession.

SUMMARY:Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary–W (II) - St. Mark I\, Pope\, Confessor–W (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:The feast of the Holy Rosary was instituted to honor Mary for the Christian victory over the Turks at Lepanto on October 7\, 1571. Pope St. Pius V and all Christians had prayed the Rosary for victory. The Rosary is a powerful means of uniting families\, communities\, and nations in the Mystical Body of Christ. In reciting the Rosary we say\, “pray for us sinners\,” not “pray for me.” The prayers of the Rosary take us out of ourselves by adoring and thanking God\, and particularly by meditating on the doctrinal truths of the 15 Mysteries. Moreover\, as Pope Leo XIII wrote\, .” . . the Rosary is by far the best prayer by which to plead before her (Mary) the cause of our separated brethren.”

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.

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. 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.
