 St. Maurilius


Feastday: September 3

Death: 580


Bishop of Cahors. He was venerated in his era for knowing the entire Bible by heart and being able to recite passages entirely from memory.


 


St. Aigulf


Feastday: September 3

Death: 676


Abbot and reformer, whose efforts to monastic purity led to his death. Aigulf was born in Blois, France, and became a Benedictine monk in Fleury. About 670, Aigulf became the abbot of the Benedictine monastery at Lerins. A biography of Aigulf shows that at this time he was sent to rescue the relics of St. Benedict in Italy as the Lombards were in control of that region. What is known is that Aigulf instituted serious reforms in Lerins, France, bringing him enemies and displays of resistance. In 676 some monks rioted in protest, alarming the local governor, who sent a troop of soldiers to the monastery to restore order. Two of the monks opposed to Aigulf are reported to have turned Aigulf and four companions over to the soldiers as the real troublemakers. Aigulf and his followers were taken to the island of Capri, Italy, where they were blinded and murdered. There are reports about roving Saracens in the area, so it is possible that Aigulf fell into their hands on the island and suffered the usual death they meted out to Christians.




St. Andrew Dotti

September 3

Death: 1315


Servite missionary and companion of St. Philip Benizi. He was born in San Sepolcro, Tuscany, Italy, to a noble family, becoming a Servite religious at the age of seventeen and later one of the Seven Founders of the congregation of St. Gerard Sostengi Monastery. He also accompanied St. Philip Benizi on his monastery journeys. Andrew served as a superior of several Servite monasteries but retired in 1310 to a hermitage at Montevecchio. He was a mystic and was granted visions.




St. Angus MacNisse


Feastday: September 3


 

According to unreliable legends, Angus MacNisse was baptized by St. Patrick, who years later consecrated him bishop. After a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in Rome, he founded a church and monastery at Kells, which developed into Connor, of which he is considered the first bishop. His story is filled with extravagant miracles, such as changing the course of a river for the convenience of his monks and rescuing a child about to be executed for his father's crime by causing him to be carried by the wind from his executioners to his arms.


Saint Mac Nisse[1] (died 514) was an early Irish saint known as the founder and first bishop-abbot of Connor (Irish: Condere, in what is now Co. Antrim). In the Tripartite Life of St. Patrick, he is said to have been a disciple of St. Olcán, Bishop of Armoy.


His story as known is largely legendary[2] He is said to have been baptized by Saint Patrick. Oengus Mac Nisse is thought to have been at Kells as a hermit earlier in his life.[3] He is considered the founder of Kells monastery.

திருத்தந்தை முதலாம் கிரகோரி, பொதுவாக புனிதர் பெரிய கிரகோரி (Saint Gregory the Great) என்று அழைக்கப்படுகிறார். இவர் கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபையின் திருத்தந்தையாக கி.பி. 590ம் ஆண்டு, செப்டம்பர் மாதம், 3ம் தேதி முதல் தமது மரணம் வரை ஆட்சியில் இருந்தவர் ஆவார். இவர், தமக்கு முன்பிருந்த திருத்தந்தையர்களைக் காட்டிலும் தமது இலக்கிய படைப்புகளுக்காக மிகவும் அறியப்படுகின்றார். ரோம் நகரில், பேகன் இன மக்களை பெரிய அளவில் கிறிஸ்தவ மதத்திற்கு மனமாற்றம் செய்ய தூண்டும் பணியில் புகழ் பெற்றவர் ஆவார்.


இவர் கிறிஸ்தவ வழிபாட்டினை சீரமைத்து ஒழுங்கு படுத்தியதால் நடுக்காலம் முழுவதும் இவர் கிறிஸ்தவ வழிபாட்டின் தந்தை என அழைக்கப்பட்டார்.


இவரே துறவற மடங்களில் வாழ்ந்த அனுபவமுடைய முதல் திருத்தந்தை ஆவார். இவர் மறைவல்லுநராகவும் (Doctor of the Church), இலத்தீன் தந்தையர்களுல் (Latin Fathers) ஒருவராகவும் கருதப்படுகின்றார். கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபை, கிழக்கு மரபுவழி திருச்சபை, ஆங்கிலிக்க ஒன்றியம் மற்றும் சில லூதரனிய திருச்சபைகளில் இவர் புனிதர் என ஏற்கப்படுகின்றார். இவர் இறந்த உடனேயே மக்களின் பலத்த ஆதரவால் புனிதர் பட்டம் பெற்றார். 


எதிர் சீர்திருத்தத் திருச்சபையினைச் (Protestant reformer) சேர்ந்த “ஜான் கேல்வின்” (John Calvin) இவரைப் பற்றிக் கூறும்போது, இவரே கடைசியாக இருந்த நல்ல திருத்தந்தை எனக்கூறுகின்றார்.


இவரது சரியான பிறந்த தேதி தெரியவில்லையெனினும், இவர் பிறந்த வருடம், கி.பி. 540 என அறியப்படுகிறது. இவரது பெற்றோர் இவருக்கு “கிரகோரியஸ்” (Gregorius) என பெயரிட்டனர். திருச்சபைக்கு நெருங்கிய தொடர்புகலுள்ள “பேட்ரிஷியன்” (Patrician) குடும்பத்தில் பிறந்த இவரது தந்தை “கோர்டியானஸ்” (Gordianus) “அதிகார சபை அங்கத்தினராகவும்” (Senator) பின்னர், ரோம் நகரின் நிர்வாக அலுவலராகவும் (Prefect) இருந்துள்ளார். கிரகோரியின் தாயார் “சில்வியா” (Silvia) ஆவார்.


கல்வியில் சிறந்த கிரகோரி, இலக்கணம், அணியிலக்கணம், அறிவியல், சட்டம், சரித்திரம், கணிதம், சங்கீதம் ஆகியவற்றில் சிறப்பான தேர்வு கண்டிருந்தார்.


கிரகோரியின் தந்தையின் மரணத்தின் பின்னர், இவர் தமது குடும்ப இல்லத்தை துறவற மடமாக மாற்றி, அதனை அப்போஸ்தலர் புனிதர் ஆண்ட்ரூசுக்கு (Apostle Saint Andrew ) அர்ப்பணித்தார். (கிரகோரியின் மரணத்தின் பின்னர், அது “புனித கிரகோரி மேக்னோ அல் செலியோ” (San Gregorio Magno al Celio) என்று மறு அர்ப்பணம் செய்யப்பட்டது.)


கிரகோரி கோப குணம் கொண்டவர் என்றும் குற்றங்களையும் பாவங்களையும் எப்போதுமே மன்னிக்கும் குணமற்றவர் என்றும் அறியப்படுகிறது. உதாரணத்துக்கு, ஒருமுறை மரணப் படுக்கையிலிருந்த துறவி ஒருவர், தாம் முன்னர் ஒருமுறை, மூன்று தங்கத் துண்டுகளை திருடிய குற்றத்துக்காக பாவமன்னிப்பு வேண்டினார். கிரகோரியோ, அந்த துறவியை நண்பர்களற்று தன்னந்தனியாக மரிக்கும் நிலைக்கு தள்ளினார். அவரது உடலையும், தங்கக் காசுகளையும் ஒரு உரக்குவியலில் எரியச் சொன்னார். உன் தங்கக் காசுகளை நீயே உன் நரகத்துக்கு கொண்டுபோ என்றார். பாவத்துக்கான தண்டனைகள், ஒரு மனிதனின் மரணப்படுக்கையிலிருந்தே ஆரம்பிக்கவேண்டும் என கிரகோரி நம்பினார். இவ்வளவு செய்த கிரகோரி, அந்த துறவியின் மரணத்தின் பின்னர், இறுதித் தீர்ப்பில் உதவுவதற்காக, அவருக்காக 30 திருப்பலிகளை நிறைவேற்றினார்.


கிரகோரி, துறவு வாழ்க்கையில் ஆழ்ந்த மதிப்பு வைத்திருந்தார். ஒரு துறவி, இறைவனின் பார்வையை தீவிரமாக தேடிச் செல்பவராக இருக்கவேண்டும் என நினைத்தார்.


கி.பி. 604ம் ஆண்டு, மார்ச் மாதம், 12ம் தேதி மரித்த திருத்தந்தை முதலாம் கிரகோரி, தூய பேதுருவின் பேராலயத்தில் (St. Peter's Basilica) அடக்கம் செய்யப்பட்டார்

Additional Memorial

16 July


Profile

Reluctant 7th century bishop of Caudium (in modern Montesarchio), Campania, Italy.


The earliest written record we have of his life is a 12th century manuscript found in the church library in Benevento, Italy; its authenticity is questionable, but its story of one of the pivotal moments of the life Vitalian became very popular -


When chosen bishop by the people of the region, which the custom in those days, he was roundly abused by his enemies, including priests who had wanted the seat. He was accused of preaching chastity without practicing it, and being involved in debauchery. Vitalian denounced their lies, then packed up and left the city, intending to go to Rome, Italy and present himself for audience with the pope. His enemies followed him, captured him, tied him in a leather bag, and threw him into the Garigliano River to drown. He floated to the coast of Ostia, Italy where he was rescued from the bag by some fishermen, and emerged unharmed. He stayed along the coast several months, during which there was famine, drought and plague back in the city that had betrayed and abused him. Their misery ended only when Vitalian returned to them; his entry to the city caused the first rain in months. Known as a miracle worker during the time he remained there.


Later in life he retired to live as a hermit at Milarum near Caserta, Italy, and then to Montevergine where he is reputed to have built a chapel and oratory dedicated the Blessed Virgin Mary.

• buried at the chapel he had built

• the place of his burial became over-grown and lost for a few years until re-discovered by some shepherds when his remains exuded a beautiful perfume that drew them to the site

• by 716, he had been re-interred in Benevento, Italy by Bishop Giovianni V

• relics hidden from Saracen invaders in 914

• by an order of Pope Callistus II on 27 October 1121, relics transferred to Catanzaro, Italy in 1122 as part of the celebration of the establishment of the diocese of Catanzaro

• some old stories indicate that the relics were enshrined in Osimo, Italy for a time, but there are no records of the move, just stories that it happened, but it led to his association with Capua, Italy and the 16 July commemoration

• Pietro Ruffo, Count of Catanzaro, built a chapel beside the Catanzaro Cathedral in 1311 to enshrine Vilatian's relics

• in 1583, when the chapel had fallen into a state of ruin, Bishop Nicolò Orazio had the relics re-enshrined in a velvet lined cask under the altar in the church of Our Lady of Catanzaro

• pure water is reported to flow from the relics

Saint Marinus

புனித மேரினுஸ் (275-366)


(செப்டம்பர் 03)


இவர் இத்தாலியில் உள்ள உர்பினோ என்ற இடத்தைச் சார்ந்தவர்.



கட்டடப் பணியாளராகத் தன் வாழ்க்கையைத் தொடங்கிய இவர், கடவுள்மீது மிகுந்த பற்றுக்கொண்டு வாழ்ந்து வந்தார். மேலும் இவர் கிறிஸ்துவைப் பற்றிப் பலருக்கும் அறிவித்து, அவர்களைக் கிறிஸ்துவின்மீது நம்பிக்கை கொள்ளச் செய்தார்.


இந்நிலையில் உரோமையை ஆண்டு வந்த தியோகிளசியன் என்பவன் கிறிஸ்தவர்மீது தாக்குதல் நடத்தத் தொடங்கினார்.

இதனால் இவர் தான் இருந்த இடத்தைவிட்டு,   வேறோர் இடத்திற்குத் தப்பியோடினார். 


சென்ற இடத்தில் இவர் திருத்தொண்டராகவும் அருள்பணியாளராகவும், அதன் பின்னர் ரிமினி நகர் ஆயராகவும் உயர்ந்தார். 


ஆயராக இருந்து நல்ல முறையில் இவர் பணிசெய்து கொண்டிருக்கும் நேரத்தில், ஒரு பெண்மணி அபாண்டமாக இவர்மீது பழிசுமத்தினார். இதனால் இவர் மொன்டே டைடானோ என்ற இடத்தில் இருந்த குகைக்கு வந்து, கடைசிக் காலம்வரை அங்குத் தனிமையில் நாள்களைச் செலவழித்தார்.


இவர் திருத்தொண்டர் மற்றும் அபாண்டமாகப் பழிசுமத்தப்பட்டோர் ஆகியோருக்குப் பாதுகாவலராக இருக்கிறார்.

Martyred in the Spanish Civil War


Thousands of people were murdered in the anti-Catholic persecutions of the Spanish Civil War from 1934 to 1939. I have pages on each of them, but in most cases I have only found very minimal information. They are available on the CatholicSaints.Info site through these links:


• Blessed Andrea Calle González

• Blessed Concepción Pérez Giral

• Blessed Dolores Úrsula Caro Martín

• Blessed Joaquim Balcells Bosch

• Blessed Juan Aguilar Donis

• Martín Salinas Cañizares

• Blessed Pius Salvans Corominas
