Profile

Raised in an educated and intellectual family with no faith, but who apparently went through some of the motions since she received her first Communion on Christmas 1829 at age twelve. She had a conversion experience, came to the faith, and felt a call to religious life by hearing the Lenten sermons of the Dominican Henri Lacordaire at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France. She made a short novitiate with the Sisters of the Visitation at Cote Saint-Andre, but did not take vows.


During a pilgrimage to the shrine of Sainte-Anne d'Auray in 1825, Eugenie felt called to found a teaching institute that would work in the world, but kept monastic observances. In 1839 she founded the group later named the Congregation of the Assumption (Religious of the Assumption, Sisters of the Assumption) to perform this mission. The Assumptionists received papal approval in 1888, and continue their good work in 34 countries around the world today.

நினைவுத் திருநாள்: மார்ச் 10


புனிதர் ஜான் ஓகில்வீ, ஒரு ஸ்காட்லாந்து நாட்டின் இயேசு சபை குருவும், ரோமன் கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபையின் புனிதரும் ஆவார்.


இவர் "வால்ட்டர் ஓகில்வீ" (Walter Ogilvie) என்பவரது மூத்த மகன் ஆவார். இவரது தந்தை ஒரு மதிப்பு மிக்க "கால்வினீய" (Calvinist) சமுதாயத்தைச் சார்ந்த செல்வந்தர் ஆவார்.


ஜான் பன்னிரெண்டாவது வயதில் கல்வி கற்பதற்காக ஐரோப்பிய நாடுகளுக்கு அனுப்பப்பட்டார். அவர், ஜெர்மனியில், "பெனடிக்டைன்" (Benedictines) சபையினரின் கீழுள்ள பல்வேறு கத்தோலிக்க கல்வி நிறுவனங்களிலும், "மொராவியா" (Moravia) நாட்டிலுள்ள இயேசு சபையின் (Jesuits) கீழுள்ள கல்வி நிறுவனங்களிலும் கல்வி கற்றார்.


அக்காலத்தைய சமய சர்ச்சைகளும் கொந்தளிப்புகளும் ஐரோப்பா கண்டத்தையே மூழ்கடித்திருந்தன. ஜான் ஒரு கத்தோலிக்கராக மாற முடிவெடுத்திருந்தார். 1596ம் ஆண்டில், தமது பதினேழாவது வயதில் ஜான் “பெல்ஜியம்” (Belgium) நாட்டில் கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபையினால் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளப்பட்டார். இயேசு சபையில் இணைந்த இவர், 1610ம் ஆண்டு, “பாரிஸ்” (Paris) நகரில் குருத்துவ அருட்பொழிவு பெற்றார்.


குருத்துவ அருட்பொழிவு பெற்ற ஜான், அதன்பின்னர் "நார்மண்டி" (Normandy) எனுமிடத்தில் பணியாற்றினார். ஸ்காட்லாந்து நாட்டில் மீதமிருந்த ஒரு சில கத்தோலிக்க மக்களுக்கு பணியாற்ற அனுப்பும்படி அடிக்கடி வேண்டினார். (அக்காலத்தில், 1560ம் ஆண்டுகளில், ஸ்காட்லாந்து நாட்டில் கத்தோலிக்க மறை போதனை செய்வதோ, மதமாற்றம் செய்ய முயற்சிப்பதோ கூட சட்ட விரோதமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது.)


கத்தோலிக்க பிரபுக்கள் யாராவது தமக்கு உதவுவார்கள் என எதிர்பார்த்தார். ஆனால், யாரும் உதவ முன்வராததால் அவர் அங்கிருந்து லண்டன் நகர் சென்றார். பின்னர் அங்கிருந்து மீண்டும் பாரிஸ் நகர் திரும்பினார். இறுதியில், 1613ம் ஆண்டு நவம்பர் மாதம், "ஜான் வாட்ஸன்" (John Watson) என்ற பெயரில் ஒரு குதிரை வியாபாரி போன்று மாறுவேடத்தில் ஸ்காட்லாந்து நாட்டில் நுழைந்தார். அதன்பின்னர், அவர் இரகசியமாக மறை போதனை செய்யத் தொடங்கினார். பிரத்தியேக வீடுகளில் மறைவாக திருப்பலிகள் நிறைவேற்றினார்.


சுமார் ஒன்றரை வருடங்களே ஸ்காட்லாந்து நாட்டில் மறைப்பணியாற்றிய ஜான், கண்டுபிடிக்கப்பட்டு, 1614ம் ஆண்டு, அக்டோபர் மாதம், கைது செய்யப்பட்டார். அங்கிருந்த எதிர்கத்தோலிக்க பேராயர் "ஸ்பாட்டிஸ்வுட்" (Archbishop Spottiswood) என்பவரது உத்தரவின்படி சிறையிலடைக்கப்பட்டார். 26 மணி நேரத்துக்கு மேலாக அவருக்கு உணவு ஏதும் கொடுக்கப்படவில்லை. அவர், தமது செய்கைக்கு மன்னிப்பு கேட்க மறுத்துவிட்டார். கொடூரமாக துன்புறுத்தப்பட்டார். சிறையில் அவரை உறங்க விட மறுத்தனர். அவரது கூட்டாளிகளைக் காட்டிக்கொடுக்குமாறு வற்புறுத்தப்பட்டார். ஆனால், அவர் எவர் பெயரையும் சொல்ல மறுத்துவிட்டார்.


அரசன் "ஜேம்சுக்கு" (King James) விசுவாசம் காட்டும் உறுதிமொழி ஏற்க மறுத்ததால் அவரது நிலை மேலும் மோசமடைந்தது. எட்டு நாட்கள் இரவும் பகலும் அவர் அங்குமிங்கும் இழுத்துச் செல்லப்பட்டார். கூரிய மரக்குற்றிகளால் குத்தப்பட்டார். அவரது தலை மயிர்கள் பிடுங்கப்பட்டன. இருப்பினும் அவர் தமது கூட்டாளிகளைக் காட்டிக்கொடுக்க மறுத்துவிட்டார். அத்துடன் அரசனுக்கு தமது மத விசுவாசத்தினையும் அறிக்கையிட மறுத்துவிட்டார்.


நீதிமன்ற இறுதி விசாரணையின்போது ஜான் கூறியதாவது:

"நான் என் அரசனின் அனைத்து ஆணைகளுக்கும் ஒரு அடிமையாக கீழ்படிய தயாராக இருக்கிறேன். அவரது ஆட்சிக்கு ஏதும் ஆபத்து வருமெனில், நான் என்னுடைய கடைசி சொட்டு இரத்தம் வரை சிந்த தயாராக இருக்கிறேன். ஆனால், எனது ஆன்மீக வரம்பினை அவர் அநியாயமாக குலைப்பதனை என்னால் பொறுத்துக்கொள்ளவோ, கீழ்படியவோ இயலாது."


துரோகி என்று தீர்ப்பளிக்கப்பட்ட ஜானுக்கு மரண தண்டனை அளிக்கப்பட்டது. "கத்தோலிக்கர் எவராவது இங்கே மறைந்து இருப்பின், அவர்கள் எனக்காக ஜெபிக்கட்டும். ஆனால், கத்தோலிக்கர்களுக்கு எதிரானவர்களின் ஜெபம் எனக்கு வேண்டாம்" என்று ஜான் இறுதியாகக் கூறினார்.


தூக்கு மேடைக்கு இழுத்துச் செல்லப்பட்ட ஜான், படிக்கட்டுகளில் தள்ளி விடப்பட்டார். அப்போது, ஜான் தம்மிடம் மறைத்து வைத்திருந்த ஜெபமாலையை தூக்கி கூட்டத்தினரிடையே விட்டெறிந்தார். அதனை எம்பிப் பிடித்த அவரது எதிரி ஒருவன் பக்தி விசுவாசமுள்ளவனாக மாறினான். இறுதிவரை அவன் கத்தோலிக்கனாகவே வாழ்ந்தான் என்றும் கூறப்படுகின்றது.


இறுதிவரை, தூக்குமேடையிலும் அவர் உண்மையாக இருந்தார். சிறைச்சாலையிலும், மரணம் வரையிலும் அவரது தைரியம் ஸ்காட்லாந்து நாடு முழுவதும் அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது.


ஜானின் மரணத்தின் பின்னர், அவரைப் பின்பற்றிய அனைவரும் சுற்றி வளைக்கப்பட்டு சிறையிலடைக்கப்பட்டனர். அனைவருக்கும் கடும் தண்டனைகள் அளிக்கப்பட்டன. ஆனால் ஒருவருக்குக் கூட மரண தண்டனை அளிக்கப்படவில்லை.

Walter Ogilvie was a Scottish noble who raised his son John in the state religion of Scotland, Calvinism. John converted to Catholicism at age 17 at Louvain, Belgium, and then attended several Catholic educational institutions. He joined the Jesuits soon after in 1597, and was ordained in Paris, France in 1610. Sent to work in Rouen, France.


It was a time of great persecution of Catholicism in Scotland. "Send only those," wrote the Earl of Angus to the Jesuit General, "who wish for this mission and are strong enough to bear the heat of the day, for they will be in exceeding danger." Wholesale massacres of Catholics had taken place in the past, but by this point the hunters concentrated on priests and those who attended Mass. The Jesuits were determined to minister to the oppressed Catholic laity, but when captured, they were tortured for information, then hanged, drawn, and quartered.



Ogilvie repeatedly requested assignment to his home Scotland, and it was finally granted; he returned in November 1613. He worked as an underground missionary in Edinburgh and Glasgow, dodging the Queen's priest-hunters, disguised as a soldier named Watson. After 11 months in the field (and on the run), John was betrayed by a phony Catholic, imprisoned, interrogated, then tortured for the names of active Catholics. He gave no information. "Your threats cheer me; I mind them no more than the cackling of geese," he told his captors. Asked if he feared to die Father John replied, "No more than you do to dine."


After three trials he was convicted of treason for being loyal to the Pope, and denying the king's supremacy in spiritual matters. He is the Church's only officially recorded Scottish martyr.

Also known as

John of the Holy Trinity


Profile

Benedictine Vallombrosan monk at Florence, Italy, taking the religious name John of the Holy Trinity. Developed a fascination with black magic, and began to study and practice it in secret, collecting occult and forbidden writings. Eventually found out and summoned before the abbot-general of the Vallumbrosans, John first denied his studies, then confessed. He was imprisoned by the Order, which proved to be his salvation. The solitude led him to true penitence, and some severe self-imposed autsterities. Seeing his conversion, his brothers asked that he return to the community, but he refused, preferring the saving solitude of his cell. He lived to old age as a hermit, writing, and receiving visions of Saint Catherine of Siena.
