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:(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:(f/a) Ember Friday–V (II)
DESCRIPTION:ST. FIRMIN was a native of Pampelone in Navarre\, initiated in the Christian faith by Honestus\, a disciple of St. Saturninus of Toulouse\, and consecrated bishop by St. Honoratus\, successor to St. Saturninus\, in order to preach the Gospel in the remoter parts of Gaul. He preached the Faith in the countries of Agen\, Anjou\, and Beauvais\, and being arrived at Amiens\, there chose his residence\, and founded there a numerous church of faithful disciples. He received the crown of martyrdom in that city\, whether under the prefect Rictius Varus\, or in some other persecution from Decius\, in 250\, to Diocletian\, in 303\, is uncertain.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV) - Our Lady of Ransom–W (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:This feast was extended to the whole Church in thanksgiving to the Blessed Virgin\, for having in the thirteenth century inspired St. Peter Nolasco and St. Raymond of Pennafort to found a religious order for the release of Christians captured by the Saracens. The Mercedarians vowed to give themselves up as hostages for the imprisoned Christians when ransom and military means failed. Their heroism saved countless souls from apostasy and despair.

SUMMARY:(f/pa) Ember Wednesday–V (II) - St. Linus\, Pope\, Martyr–R (Comm.) - St. Thecla\, Virgin\, Martyr
DESCRIPTION:Very little is known of Pope Linus\, the immediate successor of St. Peter\, beyond the fact that he ruled the Christian community for over eleven years. Although his martyrdom is uncertain\, the sufferings he underwent for the infant Church sufficed to place him among the martyrs in the canon of the Mass.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV) - Stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi\, Confessor–W (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:In 1224\, two years before his death\, three years after he had laid down active leadership of his order\, Francis of Assisi received the greatest gift of his singularly blessed life — the Stigmata. During the course of a 40-day fast on Mount Alvernia in honor of St. Michael\, Francis was visited by a dazzling seraphic figure whose feet and hands were nailed to a cross — to indicate to Francis that the martyrdom he yearned for would be of the mystical\, rather than the physical order. He was then afflicted with the five wounds of the Crucifixion\, and bore their sufferings until his death.

SUMMARY:Sts. Cornelius\, Pope\, & Cyprian\, Bishop\, Martyrs–R (III) - Sts. Euphemia\, Lucy & Geminianus\, Martyrs–R (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:ST. CORNELIUS\, the successor of St. Fabian\, Pope and Martyr\, was one of the greatest Popes of the third century. He was beheaded in 253. CYPRIAN was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa\, perhaps at Carthage\, where he received a classical education. After converting to Christianity\, he became a bishop soon after in 249. A controversial figure during his lifetime\, his strong pastoral skills\, firm conduct during the Novatianist heresy and outbreak of the plague\, and eventual martyrdom at Carthage vindicated his reputation and proved his sanctity in the eyes of the Church.

SUMMARY:The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary–W (II) - St. Nicomedes\, Martyr–R (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:The psalms of David and the prophecies of Isaias told rather plainly what would happen to Mary’s Son. But to help extend God’s mercy to all men\, Mary suffered the seven great swords of her life and the multitude of little swords. All of them were the cost of mothering the earth’s Redeemer and His members. Calvary was the climax of her sorrows. The graces and merits won by the anguish of Jesus and His Mother continually come to us through her hands. This fruit of her tears makes her also the “cause of our joy” and the sweetness and hope of the world.

SUMMARY:Exaltation of the Holy Cross–R (II)
DESCRIPTION:This feast commemorates both the dedication of the basilica built by Constantine for the Holy Sepulcher\, and also the return of the True Cross to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius of Judea during the seventh century. After Heraclius had recovered it by force from King Chosroes of Persia\, he tried to carry it along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary\, but was unable to make any headway. Bishop Zachary of Jerusalem\, pointing to his luxurious clothing\, said\, “Attired in these rich robes\, you are far from imitating the poverty of Jesus Christ and His humility in bearing His Cross.” The Emperor caught the hint–and went on to Calvary barefooted and wearing a simple cloak\, carried the holy Cross to the Basilica on Calvary [A.D. 629].

SUMMARY:Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost–G (II)
DESCRIPTION:ST. EULOGIUS was a Syrian by birth\, and while young embraced the monastic state in that country. The Eutychian heresy had thrown the Churches of Syria and Egypt into much confusion\, and a great part of the monks of Syria were at that time become remarkable for their loose morals and errors against faith. Eulogius learned from the fall of others to stand more watchfully and firmly upon his guard\, and was not less distinguished by the innocence and sanctity of his manners than by the purity of his doctrine. Having\, by an enlarged pursuit of learning\, attained to a great variety of useful knowledge in the different branches of literature\, he set himself to the study of divinity in the sacred sources of that science\, which are the Holy Scriptures\, the tradition of the Church as explained in its councils\, and the approved writings of its eminent pastors. In the great dangers and necessities of the Church he was drawn out of his solitude\, and made priest of Antioch by the patriarch St. Anastasius. Upon the death of John\, the Patriarch of Alexandria\, St. Eulogius was raised to that patriarchal dignity toward the close of the year 583. About two years after his promotion our Saint was obliged to make a journey to Constantinople\, in order to concert measures concerning certain affairs of his Church. He met at court St. Gregory the Great\, and contracted with him a holy friendship\, so that from that time they seemed to be one heart and one soul. Among the letters of St. Gregory we have several extant which he wrote to our Saint. St. Eulogius composed many excellent works against different heresies\, and died in the year 606.

SUMMARY:The Holy Name of Mary–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:The name of Mary brings grace\, hope\, and sweetness to the hearts of men. First fostered in Spain\, then invoked against the Turks at Vienna in 1683\, this devotion to Mary inspired King John Sobieski of Poland to put the misbelievers to flight\, and thus to save Christendom from devastation. Pope Innocent XI extended observance of the feast to the whole Church.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV) - Sts. Protus & Hyacinth\, Martyrs–R (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:According to tradition\, Protus and Hyacinth were brothers\, and slaves in the household of St. Basilla at Rome. They were burned alive around 257\, during the persecution of Valerian and Gallian. The unshakable fortitude of the martyrs throughout the Christian ages should serve as a stimulating reproach to us when we are tempted to lose patience under the most ordinary trials.

DESCRIPTION:Nicholas of Tolentino (1245-1305)\, a member of the austere Hermits of St. Augustine\, was inspired by an intense apostolic zeal to go out to the people\, preaching daily on street corners and giving missions. He converted a great number of hardened sinners. He frequently offered the Holy Sacrifice for souls in Purgatory\, and often after his Mass it was revealed to him that they had been admitted to the presence of God.

DESCRIPTION:Cartagena\, in Columbia\, was the central slave mart of Spanish America. Transported on filthy ships like animals\, the hapless Africans were forgotten men. A young Spanish Jesuit named Peter Claver appeared providentially in Cartagena in 1610\, and until his death in 1654\, he cared with the tenderness of Christ for the wracked bodies and tortured souls of the slaves. During his long apostolate he baptized some three hundred thousand children of God. The Church has designated him the special patron of all Catholic missioners working among the natives

SUMMARY:NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY–W (II) - St. Adrian\, Martyr–R (Comm.)
DESCRIPTION:Mary was born to be the Mother of the savior of the world\, the spiritual Mother of all men\, and the holiest of God’s creatures. Because of her Son’s infinite merits\, she was conceived and born immaculate and full of grace. Through her\, Queen of Heaven and of earth\, all grace is given to men. Through her\, by the will of the Trinity\, the unbelieving receive the gift of faith; the afflicted are tendered the works of mercy\, and the members of Christ grow in likeness of their Head. In Mary all human nature is exalted. We rejoice in her birthday\, as the Church has done from the earliest times.

SUMMARY:Ferial–G (IV)
DESCRIPTION:ST. CLOUD is the first and most illustrious Saint among the princes of the royal family of the first race in France. He was son of Chlodomir\, King of Orleans\, the eldest son of St. Clotilda\, and was born in 522. He was scarce three years old when his father was killed in Burgundy; but his grandmother Clotilda brought up him and his two brothers at Paris\, and loved them extremely. Their ambitious uncles divided the kingdom of Orleans between them\, and stabbed with their own hands two of their nephews. Cloud\, by a special providence\, was saved from the massacre\, and\, renouncing the world\, devoted himself to the service of God in a monastic state. After a time he put himself under the discipline of St. Severinus\, a holy recluse who lived near Paris\, from whose hands he received the monastic habit. Wishing to live unknown to the world\, he withdrew secretly into Provence\, but his hermitage being made public\, he returned to Paris\, and was received with the greatest joy imaginable. At the earnest request of the people\, he was ordained priest by Eusebius\, Bishop of Paris\, in 551\, and served that Church some time in the functions of the sacred ministry. He afterward retired to St. Cloud\, two leagues below Paris\, where he built a monastery. Here he assembled many pious men\, who fled out of the world for fear of losing their souls in it. St. Cloud was regarded by them as their superior\, and he animated them to all virtue both by word and example. He was indefatigable in instructing and exhorting the people of the neighboring country\, and piously ended his days about the year 560.

SUMMARY:Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost–G (II)
DESCRIPTION:ST. ELEUTHERIUS\, Abbot. WONDERFUL simplicity and spirit of compunction were the distinguishing virtues of this holy man. He was chosen abbot of St. Mark’s near Spoleto\, and favored by God with the gift of miracles. A child who was possessed by the devil\, being delivered by being educated in his monastery\, the abbot said one day: “Since the child is among the servants of God\, the devil dares not approach him.” These words seemed to savor of vanity\, and thereupon the devil again entered and tormented the child. The abbot humbly confessed his fault\, and fasted and prayed with his whole community till the child was again freed from the tyranny of the fiend. St. Gregory the Great not being able to fast on Easter-eve on account of extreme weakness\, engaged this Saint to go with him to the church of St. Andrew’s and put up his prayers to God for his health\, that he might join the faithful in that solemn practice of penance. Eleutherius prayed with many tears\, and the Pope\, coming out of the church\, found his breast suddenly strengthened\, so that he was enabled to perform the fast as he desired. St. Eleutherius raised a dead man to life. Resigning his abbacy\, he died in St. Andrew’s monastery in Rome\, about the year 585.

SUMMARY:First Friday - Ferial–G (IV)
DESCRIPTION:ST. ROSALIA was daughter of a noble family descended from Charlemagne. She was born at Palermo in Sicily\, and despising in her youth worldly vanities\, made herself an abode in a cave on Mount Pelegrino\, three miles from Palermo\, where she completed the sacrifice of her heart to God by austere penance and manual labor\, sanctified by assiduous prayer and the constant union of her soul with God. She died in 1160. Her body was found buried in a grot under the mountain\, in the year of the jubilee\, 1625\, under Pope Urban VIII\, and was translated into the metropolitan church of Palermo\, of which she was chosen a patroness. To her patronage that island ascribes the ceasing of a grievous pestilence at the same time.

SUMMARY:St. Stephen\, King\, Confessor–W (III)
DESCRIPTION:As late as the tenth century the Magyar tribesmen of eastern Europe were still strangers to Christianity. King Stephen (997-1038) summoned missioners from France and Germany to preach the Faith to his subjects\, and he himself accompanied the foreign priests on their apostolic journeys. The royal apostle promoted the growth of the Church in his realm so tirelessly that even during his lifetime Hungary developed from a rough mission land into a Christian kingdom. The Holy Father established a Hungarian hierarchy and conferred upon Stephen the title of Apostolic King. Having dedicated his country to Mary\, “the Great Lady\,” King Stephen died in 1038 on the feast of her Assumption.
