Our Lady of Coromoto

கொரோமோடோ புனித கன்னி மரியா

வெனிசுலா நாட்டில் உள்ள போர்த்துக்கியூசா மாகாணத்தில் உள்ளது குவானரே என்ற இடம். இங்கு 1591 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஒருசில மறைப்பணியாளர்கள் மறைப்பரப்பச் சென்றார்கள். இவர்களை பார்த்து விட்டு ஏற்கெனவே அங்கிருந்த கோஸ்பெஸ் கொரோமோடா இனத்தைச் சார்ந்தவர்கள் காடுகளுக்குத் தப்பியோடி, அங்கேயே வாழத் தொடங்கினார்கள்.

இதன்பிறகு 1651 ஆம் ஆண்டு புனித கன்னி மரியா கோஸ்பெஸ் கொரோமோடா  இனக்குழுத் தலைவருக்கு ஓர் ஆற்றில் தோன்றி, "நீயும் உன்னுடைய இனத்தாரும் அருகே இருக்கும் மறைப்பணியாளர்களிடம் சென்று திருமுழுக்குப் பெற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள்" என்றார். உடனே இனக்குழு தலைவர் தன்னுடைய மக்களை  மறைப்பணியாளர்களிடம்அழைத்துச் சென்று திருமுழுக்குப் பெறச் செய்தார்.

தன்னுடைய மக்களெல்லாம்  மறைப்பணியாளர்களிடம் திருமுழுக்குப் பெற்றபொழுது அவர் மட்டும், 'நான் திருமுழுக்குப் பெற்றால் எனது பதவி பறிபோய்விடுமே' என அஞ்சித் திருமுழுக்கு பெறாமலேயே இருந்தார். 

1652 ஆம் ஆண்டு செப்டம்பர் திங்கள் 8 ஆம் நாள் புனித கன்னி மரியா  கோஸ்பெஸ் இனக்குழுத்  தலைவருக்குத் மீண்டுமாக தோன்றி, திருமுழுக்குப் பெறுமாறு சொன்ன பொழுது, அவர் புனித கன்னி மரியாவைப் பிடிக்க முயன்றார். அப்பொழுது புனித கன்னி மரியா தன்னுடைய திருவுருவம் பதித்த ஓர் ஓவியத்தை அங்கு விட்டுவிட்டு, அங்கிருந்து மறைந்து போனார். அதுதான் கொரோமோடோ புனித கன்னி மரியாவின் திருவுருவம்.

இவ்வாறு திருமுழுக்கு பெறாமலேயே இருந்த கோஸ்பெஸ் இனக்குழுத் தலைவர், தன்னுடைய வாழ்வின் இறுதிக்கட்டத்தில் திருமுழுக்குப் பெற்று ஆண்டவர்மீதும் புனித கன்னி மரியாவின் மீதும் நம்பிக்கை கொள்ளத் தொடங்கினார்.

1942 ஆம் ஆண்டு வெனிசுலா நாட்டு ஆயர்கள் கொரோமோடா  புனித கன்னிமரியாவை வெனிசுலா நாட்டின் பாதுகாவலியாக அறிவித்தார்கள். 1944 ஆம் ஆண்டு அக்டோபர் 7 ஆம் நாள் திருத்தந்தை பன்னிரண்டாம் பயஸ் இதை உறுதி செய்தார். 1996 ஆம் ஆண்டு குவானரே என்ற இடத்தில் இருந்த கொரோமோடோ புனித கன்னி மரியாவின் திருத்தலம் தேசியத் திருத்தலமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது. திருத்தந்தை பதினாறாம் பெனடிக்ட்டோ இதனைப் பெருங்கோயில் (Basilica) என்று அறிவித்தார்.

Apparition

8 September 1652 at Guanare, Portuguesa, Venezuela

Approval

1950 by Pope Pius XII

Article

Commemorates the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Coromoto, leader of the indigenous people in the forests near Guanare, Venezuela. Our Lady told the chief and his wife to go to the Catholic missionaries in the city, learn the faith, and receive Baptism; Coromoto shot an arrow at her, she vanished, and left behind a piece of paper with her portrait. The entire tribe, except for Coromoto himself, converted to Christianity; he was afraid of losing his standing in the tribe. Tradition says that he fled from the Baptism ceremony into the forest where he was bitten by a poisonous snake; this could be allegorical.

Saint Paphnutius of Thebes

புனித பாப்னுடீயஸ், (ஆயர்)

நினைவுத் திருநாள் : செப்டம்பர் 11

இவர் பல ஆண்டுகள் பாலைவனத்தின் வாழ்ந்தார். பிறகு குருவாக திருநிலைப்படுத்தப்பட்டு எகிப்து நாட்டில் ஆயராகவும் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்பட்டார். தன் மறைமாநில மக்கள் பாவமன்னிப்பு பெற வேண்டுமென்று விரும்பினார். இதன் வழியாக அமைதியை நிலை நாட்ட எண்ணினார். அதற்காக பெரிதும் உழைத்து, தம் மந்தையை மனந்திருப்பினார். பின்னர் தம் மக்களை நல்ல கிறிஸ்துவர்களாக வளர்த்தெடுத்தார். பல பாவமன்னிப்பு வழிபாடு வழங்கி , மக்களின் மனதை முழுவதுமாக இறைவன் பால் திருப்பினார். 

அப்போது 325 ஆம் ஆண்டு கான்ஸ்டாண்டின்(Constantine) என்ற அரசன் ஓர் கூட்டத்தை கூட்டினான். ஆயர் பாப்னுடீயஸை அக்கூட்டத்திற்கு வரவழைத்தான். தனக்கு தனிபட்ட முறையில் அனைவர் முன்னிலையிலும் மரியாதை அளிக்கும்படி ஆயரிடம் கட்டளையிட்டார்ன். ஆனால் ஆயர் அதை செய்ய மறுத்தார். இதனால் அரசன் கோபங்கொண்டு ஆயரின் வலது கண்ணை பிடுங்கி எரிந்தான். அக்கூட்டத்தில் திருச்சபைக்காக தன் கண்ணை இழந்தார் ஆயர். ஒரு கண்ணைக் கொண்டே 355 ஆம் ஆண்டு மீண்டும் தொழிற்சங்கக் கூட்டத்திற்கு வந்தார். அப்போதுதான் நோய்வாய்ப்பட்டு உடல்நலம் குன்றி இறந்தார்.

ரோமன் கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபை

புனிதர் பட்டம்: ஜூன் 5, 1446

திருத்தந்தை நான்காம் யூஜின்

நினைவுத் திருநாள்: செப்டம்பர் 10

பாதுகாவல்:

விலங்குகள், குழந்தைகள், படகோட்டிகள், “காபனடுவான்” மறைமாவட்டம் (Diocese of Cabanatuan), ஃபிலிப்பைன்ஸ், மரிக்கும் மக்கள், கப்பல் பணியாளர்கள், நோயுற்ற மிருகங்கள், உத்தரிய ஆன்மாக்கள், “டான்டாக் மறைமாவட்டம்” (Diocese of Tandag), “சுரிகாவோ நகர்” (Surigao City), “கனரி தீவு” (Canary Island), ஸ்பெயின் (Spain).

டோலென்ட்டினோவின் புனிதர் நிக்கோலஸ் ஒரு ஆன்ம பலம் கொண்டவரும், இத்தாலிய புனிதரும் ஆவார். இவர், உத்தரியத்திலுள்ள ஆன்மாக்களின் பாதுகாவலர் என்று அறியப்படுகிறார்.

18 வயதில் துறவறம் பெற்ற நிக்கோலஸ், ஏழு வருடங்கள் கழித்தே குருத்துவம் பெற்றார். மறை போதகம் செய்வதில் கீர்த்தி பெற்றிருந்த இவர், சிறந்த ஒப்புரவாளருமாவார்.

கி.பி. 1274ல், தமது பிறந்த ஊருக்கு அருகிலுள்ள டோலேன்ட்டினோ'வுக்கு அனுப்பப்பட்டார். அங்கே இரு பிரிவினரிடையே கலவரம் நடந்து கொண்டிருந்தது. ஆயருக்கு பக்கபலமாக “கேல்ப்ஸ்” (Guelphs) எனும் பிரிவினரும், ரோமப் பேரரசருக்கு ஆதரவாக “கிபெல்லின்ஸ்” (Ghibellines) எனும் பிரிவினரும் கலவரத்தில் ஈடுபட்டிருந்தனர். அங்கே அவர் சமாதான தூதுவராகப் பணி புரிந்தார்.

ஏழைகள் மற்றும் குற்ற செயல்களில் ஈடுபட்டிருந்தவர்க்கும் போதனை செய்தார். நோயுற்றோருக்காக இறைவனின் அதிதூய அன்னை கன்னி மரியாளிடம் ஜெபித்து ரொட்டித் துண்டுகளை வழங்கி அவர்களை குணமாக்கினார். அவருக்கு சம்மனசுக்களின் காட்சிகள் காணக் கிடைத்ததாகவும் கூறப்படுவதுண்டு. தொடர்ந்த நோன்புகள் நோற்கும் வழக்கம் கொண்ட நிக்கோலஸ், ஒருமுறை ஒரு வாரத்துக்கும் அதிகமாக நோன்பிருந்த வேளையில், அன்னை கன்னி மரியாளும், புனிதர் அகுஸ்தினாரும் காட்சியளித்து, சிலுவை அடையாளமிட்ட ரொட்டியை தண்ணீரில் நனைத்து உண்ணுமாறு கூறினர். நோன்புகளின் காரணமாக மிகவும் களைத்தும், பலவீனமாகவும் காணப்பட்ட நிக்கோலஸ், சிலுவை அடையாளமிட்ட ரொட்டிகளை தண்ணீரில் நனைத்து உண்டவுடன் புத்துணர்ச்சியும் புதிய பலமும் பெற்றார்.

ஏழைகளுக்கு உதவுவதிலும், சிறைச் சாலைகளுக்கு சென்று கைதிகளைக் கண்டு அவர்களுக்கு போதனைகள் செய்வதிலும் நோயுற்றோருக்காக கன்னி மரியாளிடம் ஜெபித்து ரொட்டி வழங்கி அவர்களை குணமாக்குவதிலும் வெற்றி கண்டார். அவருடைய இந்த வெற்றிகளுக்கான காரணம் என்னவென்று அவரிடம் கேட்கப்பட்டபோது, தாம் இறைவனின் ஒரு கருவியே என்றார்.

தமது இறுதி நாட்களில் நோயுற்று, அதிக வேதனையுற்ற நிக்கோலஸ், கி.பி. 1305ம் ஆண்டும், செப்டம்பர் மாதம், பத்தாம் தேதி மரணமடைந்தார். இவரது உடல் டோலென்ட்டினோ (Tolentino) நகரிலுள்ள "புனித நிக்கோலஸ் திருத்தலத்தில்" பாதுகாக்கப்படுகின்றது.

Profile

His middle-aged parents, Compagnonus de Guarutti and Amata de Guidiani, were childless until a prayerful visit to a shrine of Saint Nicholas of Myra at Bari, Italy. In gratitude, the couple named their son Nicholas.

Nicholas became an Augustinian friar at age 18, and a student with Blessed Angelus de Scarpetti. Monk at Recanati and Macerata in Italy. Ordained at age 25. Canon of Saint Saviour's. There he received visions of angels reciting the phrase "to Tolentino"; he took this as a sign to move to that city in 1274, and there he lived the rest of his life.

Worked as a peacemaker in a city torn by civil war. Preached every day, wonder-worker and healer, and visited prisoners. He always told those he helped, "Say nothing of this." Received visions, including images of Purgatory, which friends ascribed to his lengthy fasts. Nicholas had a great devotion to the recently dead, praying for the souls in Purgatory as he travelled around his parish, and often late into the night.

Once, when severely ill, he had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Augustine of Hippo and Monica. They told him to eat a certain type of roll that had been dipped in water. Cured, he began healing others by administering bread over which he recited Marian prayers. The rolls became known as Saint Nicholas Bread, and are still distributed at his shrine.

Reported to have resurrected over one hundred dead children, including several who had drowned together. Legend says that the devil once beat Nicholas with a stick; the stick was displayed for years in the his church. A vegetarian, Nicholas was once served a roasted fowl; he made the sign of the cross over the bird, and it flew out a window. Nine passengers on ship going down at sea once asked for the aid of Saint Nicholas; he appeared in the sky, wearing the black Augustinian habit, radiating golden light, holding a lily in his left hand; with his right hand he quelled the storm. An apparition of the saint once saved the burning palace of the Doge of Venice by throwing a piece of blessed bread on the flames.

Daughter of Byzantine Emperor Arcadius and Empress Eudoxia.

Saint Clement of Sardis

Profile

First century convert. One of the original 72 missionaries sent by Jesus himself. Bishop of Sardis. Martyr.

Saint Clement of Sardis was a bishop of Sardis in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) in the 1st century AD. He is mentioned in the New Testament as one of the Seventy Disciples, and he is also mentioned in the writings of Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna.

Little is known about Clement's life, but he is believed to have been a prominent figure in the early Church. He is said to have been a disciple of the Apostle John, and he is credited with writing the Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians, an early Christian document that is considered to be an important source of information about the early Church.

The Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians is a letter of advice and encouragement to the church in Corinth, which was facing a serious schism. Clement urges the Corinthians to unity and obedience to their leaders. He also speaks about the importance of love, faith, and hope.

The Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians is not included in the New Testament canon, but it is considered to be an important early Christian document. It is still read and studied by Christians today.

Saint Clement of Sardis is a significant figure in the history of the early Church. He is a reminder of the importance of unity and obedience to the leaders of the Church. He is also a reminder of the importance of love, faith, and hope.

Saint Candida the Younger

the feast day of Saint Candida the Younger is celebrated on September 4th. There is another Saint Candida, Saint Candida of Rome, whose feast day is September 9th. Saint Candida of Rome was a martyr who was beheaded during the persecutions of Diocletian.

It is possible that you are thinking of Saint Candida of Rome because her feast day is closer to September 9th than the feast day of Saint Candida the Younger. However, it is important to note that these are two different saints.

Saint Candida of Rome was a martyr who was beheaded during the persecutions of Diocletian. She is said to have been a young woman who lived in Rome with her husband, Arthemius, and their daughter, Pauline. They were all devout Christians and they refused to renounce their faith during the persecutions.

Candida, Arthemius, and Pauline were arrested and brought before the prefect of Rome. They were tortured and threatened with death, but they refused to renounce their faith. They were eventually beheaded and their bodies were thrown into the Tiber River.

The martyrdom of Saint Candida of Rome is recorded in the Martyrologium Romanum, the official calendar of saints of the Catholic Church. Her feast day is celebrated on September 9th

Martyrs of Bithynia

புனித மெனோடோரா (-305)

இவர் சின்ன ஆசியாவில் உள்ள பைதானியாவைச் சார்ந்தவர்; இவருக்கு மெட்ரோடோரா, நிம்போடோரா என்ற இளைய சகோதரரிகள் இருவர் இருந்தனர். 

இம்மூவரும் இறைவன்மீது மிகுந்த நம்பிக்கை கொண்டு வாழ்ந்து வந்தனர். இவர்கள் காட்டிற்குச் சென்று இறைவேண்டலிலும் நோன்பிலும் நிலைத்திருந்தார்கள். இச்செய்தி அப்பகுதியில் ஆளுநராக இருந்த ஃபிரண்டனுஸ் என்பவனுக்குத் தெரிய வர, அவன் மெனோடோரவிடம் வந்து, கிறிஸ்துவை மறுதலித்துவிட்டு, உரோமைக் கடவுளை வழிபடச் சொன்னான். அதற்கு இவர் மறுப்புத் தெரிவித்தார்.

இதனால் அவன் இவரை மன்னர் முன்பாக இழுத்துச் சென்று நிறுத்தினான். மன்னரும் இவரைக் கிறிஸ்துவை மறுதலித்துவிட்டு, உரோமைக் கடவுளை வழிபடச் சொன்னபோதும், இவர் தனது கொள்கையில் உறுதியாக இருந்தார். எனவே மன்னன் இவரை எரித்துக் கொன்றான்.

இதன் பிறகு மூன்று நாள்கள் கழித்து, இவரது சகோதரிகளான மெட்ரோடோராவும் நிம்போடோராவும் கிறிஸ்துவை மறுதலிக்கக் கேட்டுக் கொள்ளப் பட்டார்கள். அவர்களும் தங்கள் கொள்கையில் மிக உறுதியாக இருந்ததால், அவர்களும் தீயிலிட்டுக் கொல்லப்பட்டார்கள்.
