St. John of Sahagun

Feastday: June 12

Birth: 1419

Death: 1479

John Gonzales de Castrillo was born at Sahagun, Leon Spain. He was educated by the Benedictine monks of Fagondez monastery there and when twenty, received a canonry from the bishop of Burgos, though he already had several benefices. He was ordained in 1445; concerned about the evil of pluralism, he resigned all his benefices except that of St. Agatha in Burgos. He spent the next four years studying at the University of Salamanca and then began to preach. In the next decade he achieved a great reputation as a preacher and spiritual director, but after recovering after a serious operation, became an Augustinian friar in 1463 and was professed the following year. He served as master of novices, definitor, prior at Salamanca, experienced visions, was famous for his miracles, and had the gift of reading men's souls. He denounced evil in high places and several attempts were made on his life. He died at Sahagun on June 11, reportedly poisoned by the mistress of a man he had convinced to leave her. He was canonized in 1690 as St. John of Sahagun. His feast day is June 12th.

John of Sahagún, O.E.S.A. (Spanish: Juan de Sahagún), (24 June 1419 – 11 June 1479) was a Spanish Augustinian friar and priest. He was a leading preacher regarding social behavior of his day. He was declared a saint by the Catholic Church in 1690 by Pope Alexander VIII.

Life

John was born in the year 1419, at Sahagún (or San Facondo) in the Province of Leon. He was the oldest of the seven children of Juan González del Castrillo and Sancha Martínez, a wealthy family of the city.

González received his early education from the monks of the Royal Monastery of St. Benedict in his native city, a leading religious and educational center in the region known as the Cluny of Spain. He received the tonsure while still a youth, according to the custom of the times, after which his father procured for him the benefice of the neighboring parish of Tornillo. He was later introduced to Alfonso de Cartagena, the Bishop of Burgos (1435–1456), who was impressed by the bright, high-spirited boy. Cartagena had him educated at his own residence, gave him several prebends, ordained him a priest in the year 1445, and made him a canon at the Cathedral of Burgos.

Possessing all of these offices simultaneously caused González many qualms of conscience, as it was contrary to Church law. He soon resigned all, retaining only that of the Chapel of St. Agatha in a poor neighborhood of the city, where he said Mass, and preached the faith to the poor.[1] He then began to lead a life of strict poverty and mortification.[2]

With his bishop's consent, González obtained permission to enter the University of Salamanca, where for four years he applied himself to the study of theology. During this time he exercised the ministry at the chapel of the College of St. Bartholomew (in the Parish of St Sebastian), and held that position for nine years. He devoted himself to pastoral care. Owing to illness, he was obliged to undergo an operation for the removal of kidney stones. He vowed that if his life were spared, he would become a Religious.

Upon his recovery in the year 1463, González applied for admission to the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine, at the Monastery of St. Peter, from that point on, being known simply as Brother (or Friar) John. In the following year, on August 28, 1464, John made his profession of solemn vows as a member of the Order.[3]

By the command of his superiors, John gave himself wholeheartedly to the salvation of souls, and with the best results, to preaching the "Word of God." By his zeal he was able to effect the entire reformation of the city of Salamanca.[4]

John made such progress in religious perfection that he was soon appointed master of novices, and later in the year 1471, prior of the community. He conducted the Religious under his rule more by example than by his words.

Great was St John's devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, that at the celebration of Mass he frequently saw the Sacred Host resplendent in glory. He was gifted with a special power to penetrate the secrets of conscience, so that it was not easy to deceive him, and sinners were almost always forced to make good confessions. He was able to obtain wonderful results in doing away with enmities and feuds.

In many ways, John was like a fellow Religious who lived nearly 500 years later, Pio of Pietrelcina, who also had the uncanny ability to discern the secrets of conscience.

In his sermons, John preached the Word of God and scourged the crimes and vices of the day, by which the rich and noble were offended. He soon made many enemies, who went so far as to hire assassins, but these, awed by the serenity and angelic sweetness of his countenance, lost courage. Some women of Salamanca, embittered by the saint's strong sermon against extravagance in dress, openly insulted him in the streets and pelted him with stones until stopped by a patrol of guards.

John's scathing words on the "sins of impurity" produced salutary effects in a certain nobleman who had been living in open concubinage, but the woman swore vengeance. It was popularly believed that she had caused the saint's death by poison (this statement is found only in later biographies).

John died on 11 June 1479, in his monastery. His remains were buried in the Old Cathedral of the city.

Veneration

Soon after John's death, his "cult" spread throughout Spain. The process of beatification began in 1525 under Pope Clement VII, and in 1601 he was declared "Blessed" by Pope Clement VIII.

New miracles were wrought through his intercession, and on 16 October 1690 Pope Alexander VIII canonized him. In 1729 Pope Benedict XIII inscribed his liturgical feast day in the Roman Calendar for 12 June, since 11 June, the anniversary of his death was occupied by the feast of Saint Barnabas. In the 1969 revision of the Roman liturgical celebration was left to local calendars because of the limited importance attributed to him on a universal level.[5] In the Roman Martyrology, the official list of saints of the Catholic Church, his feast day is 11 June.[6]

John's life written by John of Seville towards the end of the fifteenth century with additions in 1605 and 1619, is the one used by the Bollandists in "Acta SS.", June, III, 112.

In art, John is represented holding a chalice and Holy host surrounded by rays of light.

Blessed Maria Candida of the Eucharist

Also known as

• Maria Candida dell'Eucharistia

Profile

Daughter of Pietro Barba, an appelate court judge. Raised in Palermo, Sicily. She made her first Communion at age 10, and had an intense devotion to the Eucharist from a very early age.

She was 35 when she was able to follow the call, and she entered the Discalced Teresian Carmel at Ragusa, Italy on 25 September 1919, taking the name Maria Candida of the Eucharist. Eucharistic devotion dominated her spiritual life, and she would spend hours before the Host. Prioress of her house from 1924 to 1947. Greatly expanded the Carmel in Sicily, and promoted devotion to Saint Teresa of Jesus and her Rule within her Order.

“ஸ்டிக்மேடைன்ஸ்”

புனிதர் கேஸ்பர் பெர்டோனி, ஒரு இத்தாலிய ரோமன் கத்தோலிக்க குருவும், “தூய ஸ்டிக்மாட்டா" சபையின் நிறுவனரும் ஆவார்.

கி.பி. 1777ம் ஆண்டு, அக்டோபர் மாதம், 9ம் தேதி, வெனிஸ் குடியரசின் “வெரோனா” நகரில் பிறந்த இப்புனிதரின் தந்தை ஒரு சட்ட வல்லுநர் ஆவார். அவரது பெயர், “ஃபிரான்சிஸ்கோ பெர்டோனி“ ஆகும். இவரது தாயாரின் பெயர் “ப்ரூநோரா ரவெல்லி” ஆகும். இவரது குழந்தைப் பருவத்திலேயே இவரது ஒரே சகோதரி மரித்துப்போனார்.

ஆரம்பக் கல்வியை தமது பெற்றோரிடமே கற்ற பெர்டோனி, அதன் பின்னர், தமது சொந்த ஊரான வெரோனாவிலுள்ள “புனித செபாஸ்டியன்” பள்ளியின் “இயேசு சபை” மற்றும் “மரியான் சபை” துறவியரிடம் கற்றார்.

இவர் “புது நன்மை” பெறும்போது ஒரு திருக்காட்சி காணக் கிடைத்தது. அதன் அறிவுறுத்தலின்படி, கி.பி. 1796ம் ஆண்டு, குருத்துவ கல்வி கற்க ஆரம்பித்தார். கி.பி. 1796ம் ஆண்டு, ஜூன் மாதம், முதல் தேதியன்று, ஃபிரான்ஸ் நாட்டின் “ஃபிரெஞ்ச் புரட்சிப் படைகள்” இத்தாலி நாட்டின் வடக்குப் பிராந்திய நகரங்களை இருபதாண்டு கால ஆக்கிரமிப்பு செய்யத் தொடங்கியிருந்தன.

பெர்டோனி, மருத்துவமனைகளுக்கான “நற்செய்தி சகோதரத்துவ குழுவில்” இணைந்து, புரட்சிப்படைகளின் நடவடிக்கைகளால் காயமுற்ற, நோயுற்ற மற்றும் பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்களுக்கு உதவும் பணியாற்ற தொடங்கினார். அவர் 1800ம் ஆண்டு, செப்டம்பர் மாதம், 20ம் தேதி, குருத்துவ அருட்பொழிவு பெற்றார்.

பெர்டோனி, “புனிதர் மகதலின் கனோஸ்ஸா பள்ளியின் அருட்சகோதரியரின் ஆலய குருவாக பணியாற்றிய அதே வேளையில், அருட்சகோதரியினரதும் குருத்துவ கல்லூரியினதும் ஆன்மீக இயக்குனராகவும் பணியாற்றினார். ஃபிரெஞ்ச் பேரரசர் நெப்போலியனால் சிறை பிடிக்கப்பட்டிருந்த திருத்தந்தை ஏழாம் பயசு’க்காக ஆதரவளிப்போர் மற்றும் செபிக்கும் தலைவர்களில் ஒருவராகவும் இருந்தார்.

மரியான் செபக்கூடங்களை நிறுவுதல், இயேசுவின் ஐந்து காய பக்தியைப் பரப்புதல் மற்றும் எழைகளுக்கான பள்ளிகளை நிறுவுதல் ஆகியன புனிதர் கேஸ்பர் பெர்டோனி அவர்களின் முக்கிய மறைபணிகளாக இருந்தன. 1816ம் ஆண்டு, நவம்பர் மாதம், 4ம் தேதி, “இயேசு கிறிஸ்துவின் தூய ஐந்து காய தழும்புகளின் சபை” எனும் சபையை தோற்றுவித்தார். 2012ம் வருட அறிக்கையின்படி, இச்சபையில் 94 இல்லங்களும் 331 குருக்கள் உள்ளிட்ட 422 உறுப்பினர்களும் இருப்பதாக கூறப்படுகின்றது.

புனிதர் கேஸ்பர் பெர்டோனி தமது இறுதி நாட்களில் காய்ச்சல் போன்ற நோய்களால் மோசமாகப் பாதிக்கப்பட்டார். தமது வாழ்க்கையின் கடைசி இருபது ஆண்டுகளை தமது வலது காலில் ஏற்பட்ட நோய்த் தொற்றுடனேயே கழித்தார். அவருடைய காலின் நோய்த்தொற்றை நீக்கும் முயற்சியாக, கடந்த இருபது ஆண்டுகளில், அவரது வலது காலில் முன்னூறுக்கும் மேற்பட்ட அறுவை சிகிச்சைகள் மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்டிருந்தன. அப்படியும், மருத்துவமனை படுக்கையில் இருந்தபடியே பலருக்கு ஆன்மீக வழிகாட்டியாகவும் ஆலோசகராகவும் 1853ம் ஆண்டு தாம் மரிக்கும்வரை தமது சேவையைத் தொடர்ந்தார்.

Also known as

Charlemagne's Pope

Profile

Charlemagne, with his letters of congratulations, sent a fortune which Leo used to build churches and found charitable institutions.

Her legend says that she was a princess in the region of York, England. One of the holy virgins who travelled with Saint Ursula, she was saved from the massacre by the Frisian king Radboud who took her to his castle in Rhenen (in modern Netherlands) where she eventually ran the household. Queen Aldegonde became jealous, and had Cunera strangled and buried in a cattle shed. A miracle led to the discovery of the crime, which led to the conversion of Radboud to Christianity.

There are a number of problems with this story, and nothing reliable about her has survived.

Saint Juan de Sahagún

Also known as

• John of Saint Facundo
• John of Saint Fagondez
• John Gonzales de Castrillo
• John of Saint Facun
• San Fagondez

Profile

Son of John Gonzalez de Castrillo and Sancia Martinez, the oldest of seven children, their first after sixteen years of sterility and frustration; raised in a pious and well-to-do family. Educated by Benedictines at Fagondez abbey at Sahagun. Ordained in 1445. Held several benefices in the diocese of Burgos, Spain, his father obtaining them for him like investments, but John surrendered all but one. Unlike many of his class who took their vocation as a profession, John felt a true call to service and a holy life, and he gave most of the proceeds from his benefices to the poor. Majordomo in the residence of his bishop.

Studied at the University of Salamanca, and then at Burgos. Following a grave illness and major surgery, he became an Augustinian canon at Salamanca, joining on 18 June 1463, and making his final profession on 28 August 1464. Novice-master in the order. Definitor of his province. Prior of the order in Salamanca in 1471.

Noted for his devotion to the Blessed Sacrament; during Mass, he often saw the Host surrounded by light, sometimes had visions of the bodily form of Christ at the moment of consecration. His devotion, and his visions, often led to some very lengthy Masses. Reported to levitate during his prayers. Could read hearts in confession, and became a sought-after spiritual director. Great preacher whose sermons helped change social conditions in Salamanca.

His sermons against sinful living conditions, and in support of the rights and diginity of workers brought him the opposition of some local leaders. A duke at Alba de Tormes hired assassins to stop him, but they recognized John's holiness, and would not touch him, confessed to him, and asked forgiveness. The duke later fell ill, and was healed by John's prayers. Some local women, however, were not so concerned; when he preached against wasting resources on extravagant fashions, some of them threw stones at him in the street.

Miracles were attributed to Father John's intervention, before and after his death. One occurred in Salamanca when a small child fell into a well. The locals made every effort, but could not effect a rescue. They sent for Father John who went to the scene, laid his waistband on stone wall of the well, and prayed that the waters return the child. The well water rose to ground level, floating the child to safety. This incident is depicted in the image of Saint John on this page.

On 30 April 1915 a group of Turkish soldiers surrounded the Armenian Catholic Bishopric and church in Mardin, claiming it was used to hide weapons. On 3 June 1915, Turkish soldiers arrested Bishop Maloyan along with many other Armenian Catholic priests and laymen. In court, chief of the police Mamdooh Bek ordered bishop Maloyan to convert to Islam; the bishop declined, and was beaten, tortured, chained, and imprisoned. On 10 June 1915, Ignazio and over 400 other Christians, including fourteen priests, were force marched into the desert. When they stopped, bishop Ignazio celebrated an impromptu liturgy with scraps of bread; the group was then murdered. The bishop was the last to die. At the last minute, Mamdooh Bek again demanded that Ignazio convert to Islam; when the bishop refused, Bek shot him.

புனித பர்னபா - திருத்தூதர்

லிஸ்திராவில் பர்னபாவும் பவுலும் போதித்துக்கொண்டிருக்கும்போது அங்கே பிறவிலேயே கால் ஊனமுற்ற ஒருவர் இருந்தார். அவரிடம் நலம்பெறுவதற்கான நம்பிக்கை இருந்ததால் பவுல் அவரிடம், "நீர் எழுந்து காலூன்றி நேராக நில்லும்" என்றார். உடனே அவர் துள்ளி எழுந்து நடக்கத் தொடங்கினார். பவுல் செய்வதைப் பார்த்த மக்கள் கூட்டத்தினர் தங்களுடைய மொழியில், "தெய்வங்கள் மனித உருவில் நம்மிடம் இறங்கி வந்திருக்கின்றன" என்று குரலெழுப்பிக் கூறினார்கள். அதோடு மட்டுமல்லாமல் நகருக்கு வெளியே இருந்த சேயுசு கோவில் அர்ச்சகர் காளைகளையும் பூமாலைகளையும் கோவில் வாயிலுக்குக் கொண்டுவந்து கூட்டத்தினருடன் சேர்ந்து பலியிட விருப்பினார். அப்போது பர்னபா அவர்களுக்கு முன்பாகத் தோன்றி, "மனிதர்களே!, ஏன் இவ்வாறு செய்கிறீர்கள்? நாங்களும் உங்களைப் போன்ற மனிதர்கள்தாம்; நீங்கள் இந்த பயனற்ற பொருட்களை விட்டுவிட்டு, விண்ணையும் மண்ணையும் கடலையும் அவற்றிலுள்ள அனைத்தையும் உண்டாக்கிய வாழும் கடவுளிடம் திரும்புங்கள் என்ற நற்செய்தியை உங்களுக்கு அறிவிக்கின்றோம்" என்றார்.

அந்நேரத்தில் அந்தியோக்கியாவிலிருந்தும் இக்கோனியாவிலிருந்தும் யூதர்கள் வந்து மக்களைத் தூண்டிவிட்டு பவுல் மற்றும் பர்னபாவின் மீது கல்லெறியத் தொடங்கினார்கள். ஆனால் அவர்கள் இறைவனின் கருணையால் உதிர் தப்பினார்கள். எல்லா புகழும் மாட்சியும் இறைவனுக்கே உரியது என்று செயல்பட்ட பர்னபா மற்றும் பவுலின் வாழ்வு நமது சிந்தினைக்குரியதாக இருக்கின்றது

வாழ்க்கை வரலாறு

பர்னபா சைப்ரசை சேர்ந்த ஒரு லேவியர். இவருக்கு யோசேப்பு என்ற இன்னொரு பெயரும் உண்டு, ஊக்குவிக்கும் பண்பு கொண்டவர் என்றும் அழைக்கப்படுகின்றார். திருத்தூதர்கள் அணியில் இவர் இடம்பெறாவிட்டாலும் தொடக்கத் திருச்சபையில் இவர் திருத்தூதருக்கு இணையாக வைத்துப் பார்க்கப்பட்டார். இவர் இயேசு அனுப்பிய எழுபத்தி இரண்டு சீடர்களில் ஒருவர் எனவும் சொல்லப்படுகின்றது. அதேபோல் இவர் நல்லவர், தூய ஆவியால் ஆட்கொள்ளப்பட்டவர், நம்பிக்கை நிறைந்தவர் என்றும் விவிலியம் நமக்கு எடுத்துச் சொல்கிறது (திப 11:24).

விவிலியத்தில் இவர் அறிமுகமாகும் இடம் திருத்தூதர் பணிகள் நூல் 4 ஆம் அதிகாரம் ஆகும். அங்கே இவர் தன்னுடைய நிலபுலன்களை எல்லாம் விற்று அதிலிருந்து வந்த பணத்தை திருத்தூதர்களின் காலடியில் கொண்டுபோய் வைக்கிறார். அவர்கள் இறைமக்களின் தேவைக்கு ஏற்ப ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் பகிர்ந்துகொடுக்கிறார்கள் (திப 4: 36-37). அடுத்ததாக இவர் வரக்கூடிய இடம் திருத்தூதர் பணிகள் நூல் 9 வது அதிகாரம் ஆகும். அங்கே இவர் கிறிஸ்தவர்களை கொடுமைப்படுத்திய பவுல் மனமாற்றம் பெற்று மக்களுக்கு நற்செய்தி அறிவிக்கச் சென்றபோது மக்கள் அவரை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளாத நிலை ஏற்பட்டபோது பர்னபாதான் பவுலைக் குறித்து நல்லவிதமாய் பேசி, இறைமக்கள் கூட்டத்தில் அவரை அறிமுகம் செய்துவைக்கிறார் (திப 9: 26-28)

பர்னபா திருத்தூதர்கள் மற்றும் மக்கள் மத்தியில் நன்மதிப்பைப் பெற்றிருந்தார். அதனால்தான் அந்தியோக்கியாவில் கிறிஸ்தவர்களின் எண்ணிக்கை பெருகியபோது திருத்தூதர்கள் பர்னபாவை அவர்களுக்கு மத்தியில் அனுப்பி வைத்து, அவரை நற்செய்தி அறிவிக்கச் செய்தார்கள் (திப 11: 22-23). கிபி.45 ஆம் ஆண்டு எருசலேமில் கடுமையான பஞ்சம் ஏற்பட்டபோது இவர்தான் அந்தியோக்கு நகருக்குச் சென்று, அங்கிருந்த மக்களிடமிருந்து நிதி திரட்டி வந்து, அதனை எருசலேமில் இருந்த இறைமக்களுக்குக் கொடுத்து அவர்களின் பசியைப் போக்கினார் (திப 14: 18-20). 51 ஆம் ஆண்டு எருசலேமில் நடைபெற்ற முதல் பொதுச் சங்கத்தில் இவர் பவுலடியார் சார்பாக இருந்து தன்னுடைய பங்களிப்பைச் செய்தார்.

பர்னபா பவுலோடு சேர்ந்து ஆற்றிய நற்செய்திப் பணிகள் ஏராளம். அதற்காக அவர் பயணம் செய்த தூரம் ஏராளம். பர்னபா பவுலின் முதல் திருத்தூது பயணத்தில் உடன்சென்றார். இரண்டாவது திருத்தூது பயணத்தின் போதுதான் பவுல் தன்னோடு ஜான் மாற்கை கூட்டிச்செல்ல மறுத்தபோது, பர்னபா அவரை தன்னோடு கூட்டிக்கொண்டு நற்செய்தி அறிவிக்கச் செல்கிறார். பதிலுக்கு பவுல் தன்னோடு சீலாவைக் கூட்டிக்கொண்டு நற்செய்தி அறிவிக்கச் செல்கிறார். பர்னபா பவுலை விட்டுப் பிரிந்துசென்றபிறகு அவர் மிலன் நகருக்குச் சென்று நற்செய்தி அறிவித்ததாகச் சொல்லப்படுகின்றது. இன்னும் ஒருசிலர் இவர் சைப்பிரசுக்குச் சென்று நற்செய்தி அறிவித்தபோது அங்கே இருந்தவர்கள் 61 ஆம் ஆண்டு இவரைக் கல்லால் எறிந்துகொன்றார்கள் என்றும் சொல்கிறார்கள். இவருடைய உடல் 477 ஆம் ஆண்டு கண்டெடுக்கப்பட்டது, இவருடைய உடலோடு மத்தேயு நற்செய்தியின் பிரதி ஒன்றும் இருந்ததாகச் சொல்லப்படுகின்றது
