Saint Rafael Guízar y Valencia

Profile

One of eleven children born to Prudenzio Guizar and Natividad Valencia, wealthy and pious land owners. Ordained in 1901. Conducted missions throughout Mexico. Founded the Congregation of Missionaries of Our Lady of Hope in 1903. Apostolic missionary in 1905. Spiritual director in the major seminary of Zamora, Mexico. Used his family's money to found a school for poor girls. Founded two colleges for boys.

In 1911 a state persecution of the Church began. His Congregation was dissolved and his missionary work was prohibited, so Father Raphael continued his work illegally. He founded a Catholic magazine in Mexico City, which the government quickly shut down. Raphael went on the road, disguised as a travelling merchant or musician, ministering to the poor and preaching when he could. He was shot at several times by soldiers, and condemned to death in absentia. In 1916 the authorities were so close on his trail that Raphael fled Mexico, first to the United States and then to Guatemala where he spent a year preaching missions. Preached in Cuba from 1917 to 1919. Named bishop of Veracruz-Jalapa, Mexico on 1 August 1919; he received word of the appointment while preaching in Havana. He continued his missionary work in Colombia, but finally returned to Veracruz, Mexico on 4 January 1920.

The government persecution of the Church escalated. The diocesan seminary was shut down; Bishop Raphael transferred his students to Mexico City and continued their training covertly. In 1931 Governor Tejada of Veracruz decreed that there could only be one priest per 100,000 Catholics; Raphael shut all his churches in protest. Tejeda ordered that Raphael be shot on sight; Raphael went straight to the governor's palace and walked into his office. Tejeda feared the uprising that killing such a man would cause, and revoked the death sentence; Raphael spent the rest of his days fighting to continue the work of the Church in the face of government opposition.

✠ தூய நார்பர்ட் ✠

பேராயர்,

பிறந்து : 680,

இறந்தது : 755 ஜூன் 06

ரோமன் கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபை

நினைவுத் திருநாள்: : ஜூன் 06

நார்பர்ட் 1080 ஆம் ஆண்டு ரின்லாந்துக்கு (Rhine Land) அருகில் உள்ள சேன்டேன் (Xanten) என்னும் ஊரில் பிறந்தார். நார்பர்டின் குடும்பம் மிக வசதியான குடும்பம். அதனால் அவர் தன்னுடைய வாழ்க்கையை மிக உல்லாசமாக வாழத் தொடங்கினார். வளர்ந்து பெரியவரான பிறகு மன்னர் ஐந்தாம் ஹென்றியின் அரசபையில் ஆலோசராக பணியாற்றிவந்தார்.

எதைப் பற்றியும் கவலைப்படாமல் ஆடம்பரமாக வாழ்ந்துவந்த நார்பர்ட் ஒருநாள் தன்னுடைய குதிரையில் பக்கத்து ஊருக்குப் போய்க்கொண்டிருந்தார். அப்போது வானத்திலிருந்து விழுந்த மின்னல் ஒன்று அவரைத் தாக்க அவர் அப்படியே தரையில் விழுந்தார். ஆனால் அதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக அவர் உயிர்பிழைத்தார். அப்போது அவர் மேலே அண்ணார்ந்து பார்ந்து, “ஆண்டவரே! நான் என்ன செய்யவேண்டும்?” என்று கேட்க, “நீ உன் பாவ வழிகளை விட்டு, புதிய வாழ்க்கை வாழ்” என்று குரல் ஒலித்தது. உடனே அவர் எழுந்து சென்று தன்னுடைய சொத்துகளை எல்லாம் விற்று ஏழைகளுக்குக் கொடுத்துவிட்டு குருத்துவ வாழ்விற்குத் தன்னையே தயாரிக்கத் தொடங்கினார்.

குருவாக அருட்பொழிவு செய்யப்பட்ட பிறகு திருத்தந்தை இரண்டாம் ஜெலஸ்டசை சந்தித்த நார்பர்ட் அவரிடம், “நான் எங்கே சென்று பணியாற்றுவது?” என்று கேட்டார். திருத்தந்தையோ அவரை வடக்கு பிரான்சுக்குச் சென்று பணிசெய்யுமாறு கேட்டுக்கொண்டார். திருத்தந்தையின் வேண்டுகோளுக்கு இணங்க அவர் வடக்கு பிரான்சுக்குச் சென்று அங்கு நற்செய்தியை அறிவிக்கும் பணியை மிகச் சிறப்பாக செய்து வந்தார். இயல்பிலே போதிக்கும் திறமையைக் கைவரப் பெற்றிருந்த நாபார்ட் இறைவனின் வார்த்தையை வல்லமையோடு போதித்து நிறைய மக்களை ஆண்டவருக்கும் கொண்டு வந்து சேர்த்தார். மட்டுமல்லாமல அவரால் ஈர்க்கப்பட்ட நிறைய இளைஞர்கள் அவரோடு சேர்ந்தார். அதனால் ‘நார்பட்டையன்’ என்னும் புதிய சபை உதயமானது. சில ஆண்டுகளிலே அது பல்வேறு இடங்களுக்குப் பரவியது.

இறைவனின் வாக்கை துணிச்சலோடு எடுத்துரைத்த நார்பர்ட் நற்கருணை பக்தியில் மிகவும் சிறந்து விளங்கினார். இவர் நற்கருண மீது கொண்ட பக்திதான் இவருக்கு எல்லாப் பணிகளையும் மிகச் சிறப்பாகச் செய்ய உதவி புரிந்தது. இதற்கிடையில் இவரை மாக்டபர்க் நகரின் ஆயராகத் திருநிலைப்படுத்தினார்கள். ஆயராக உயர்ந்த இவர் மக்களை ஆண்டவருக்கு உகந்த பாதையில் வழிநடத்திச் சென்றார். இப்படி பலவேறு ஆன்மீகப் பணிகளைச் செய்து வந்த ஆயர் நார்பர்ட் 1134 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஜூன் 6 ஆம் நாள் தன்னுடைய இன்னுயிரைத் துறந்தார்.

Also known as

• Norbert of Kingdown
• Norbert of Magdeburg

Profile

Born to the nobility, Norbert was raised around the royal court and served as almoner for Emperor Henry V. In the court he developed a very worldly view, and took holy orders as a career move, joining the Benedictines at Siegburg. A narrow escape from death led to a conversion experience, and he began taking his vows seriously. He tried to reform his order's local house, then became a wandering preacher. He founded a community of Augustinian canons at Premontre, France; they became known as the Norbertines or Premonstratensians, and started a reform movement that swept through European monastic houses.

Friend of Blessed Godfrey of Cappenberg. Archbishop of Magdeburg, Germany. Reformed the clergy in his see, using force when necessary. Worked with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux and Saint Hugh of Grenoble to heal the schism caused by the death of Pope Honorius II. Fought heresy in Cambrai, France with the help of Saint Waltmann.
