St. John of Lodi


Feastday: September 7

Death: 1106


Benedictine bishop of Gubbio, Italy. Born in Lodi Vecchio, Italy, he lived for some time as a hermit before becoming a bishop. He also authored a life of St. Peter Damian.


John of Lodi (1025-1106) was an Italian hermit and bishop.


John was born in Lodi Vecchio in 1025. In the 1060s he became a hermit at the Camaldolese monastery of Fonte Avellana. He became a disciple and the personal secretary of Peter Damian, who was the prior of Fonte Avellana. After Damian's death in 1072, John wrote a biography of Damian (1076-1082).[1] John later became prior of Fonte Avellana (1082-1084, and again 1100-1101). In 1104 he became Bishop of Gubbio, and held this office until his death.



St. Diuma


Feastday: September 7

Death: 7th century


Bishop of Mercia and companion of St. Cedd. An Irishman, Diuma was praised by St. Bede.



Diuma (or Dwyna or Duma) was the first Bishop of Mercia in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia, during the Early Middle Ages.[1]


All that is known of Diuma's life is contained in a short account in Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People.[2]


Diuma was an Irishman, and was one of four priests, Cedd, Atta, Betti and Diuma, from the Kingdom of Northumbria, who accompanied the newly baptised Peada, son of Penda (King of Mercia) back to Mercia in 653. Peada became a Christian when he married Alhflaed, daughter of Oswiu, King of Northumbria. The priests were to introduce the Christian faith to the region.


After Penda's death, Diuma was consecrated a bishop by Finan. It is assumed that he established his see in Repton,[1] but the exact boundaries of the bishopric are unclear.[3] The Venerable Bede claimed that he was bishop of both the Middle Angles and the Mercians.[4]


Diuma was consecrated after 655 but his death date is unknown. It would appear to have been not long after this, as he was succeeded as bishop by Ceollach, whose own successor, Trumhere, was named bishop around 658.[5] Bede refers to his episcopate as having been fruitful but short, after which he died in a place called in-feppingum in the territory of the Middle Angles. This place has never been definitely identified.


In 669 the seat of the diocese was moved by a successor, Chad, to Lichfield.[1]


An early eleventh century list of resting places of the saints, lists a certain Dioma who rests at Charlbury near the river Windrush, suggesting the presence of a later Anglosaxon cult of Diuma.

Feastday: September 7

Patron: against carbuncles; nail makers; Diocese of Saint Cloud, Minnesota

Birth: 522

Death: 560



Also Cloud, a grandson of King Clovis of the Franks and the youngest son of King Clodomir of Orleans. Clodoald was born in 524. He and his brothers were raised by their grandmother St. Clotilda, Queen of the Franks. Two of his brothers, Theodoald and Gunther, were slain at the ages of ten and nine by their uncle Clotaire, king of the Franks from 558-561. Clodoald survived by being sent to Provence, France. There he became a hermit and a disciple of St. Severinus. He remained at Nogent, near Paris, which became known as Saint-Cloud.


Saint Clodoald (Latin: C(h)lodoaldus, Cloudus; reconstructed Frankish: *Hlōdōwald;[4] 522 – c. 560 AD), better known as Saint Cloud (French: [klu]), was a Merovingian prince, grandson of Clovis I and son of Chlodomer, who preferred to renounce royalty and became a hermit and monk. Clodoald found a hill along the Seine, two leagues below Paris, in a place called Novigentum (the present commune of Saint-Cloud). Here among the fishermen and farmers, he led a life of solitude and prayer, and built a church, which he dedicated in honor of Martin of Tours.


He is venerated as a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.



Background

Upon the death of Clovis, his sons, Chlodomer, Childebert, Clothaire, and their half-brother Thierry shared the kingdom. In 523–524, at Clotilde's instigation, her sons joined in an expedition against King Sigismund's Burgundians. After the arrest of Sigismund and his family, Chlodomer returned to Orléans. Sigismund's brother, Godomar III, supported by his ally and relative, the Ostrogoth king Theodoric the Great, slaughtered the garrison the Franks had left in Burgundy. In retaliation, Chlodomer then had Sigismund and his sons, Gisald and Gondebaud, murdered. On May 1, 524, Chlodomer set out on a second expedition against the Burgundians and was killed at the Battle of Vézeronce on June 25 of the same year.[5]


Early life

Clodoald was the son of King Chlodomer of Orléans and his wife Guntheuc. He was one of three brothers, raised in Paris by their grandmother, the Queen dowager Clotilde. Clodoald's brothers, Theodoald and Gunther, were killed by Clotaire when they were ten and nine respectively, but Clodoald survived by escaping to Provence.[2] Salic law required the division of the kingdom among the sons of Chlodomer. However, the boys' uncles, Childebert I, king of Paris, and his brother Clotaire I, king of Soissons, coveted the kingdom of Orléans and determined to murder the nephews.


By one account, in 525, Childebert and Clotaire asked their mother Clotilde to send them the children so that they might be proclaimed their father's successors. She clothed the brothers in their best clothes and sent them with confidence, unaware of her sons' plans. The two uncles then had the children of Clodomir killed.[5] Some claim that they killed the two older boys, Thibault and Gonthaire, aged ten and seven, with their own hands, to the great despair of Saint Clotilde, who saw her grandchildren killed by her own sons. Only the youngest, Clodoald, was saved by the dedication of a few of the faithful. He found sanctuary with Saint Remigius, the Bishop of Rheims, and thus escaped his uncles' searches.


Another version is that Childebert and Clotaire considered cutting children's hair, because long hair was a sign of nobility in Frankish culture. But as the hair would inevitably grow back, they asked Clotilde what they had to do. She replied that she would rather see them dead than sheared. They first killed Gonthaire, before Thibault threw himself at their feet to beg them to leave him alive. So Childebert hesitated, and his brother reminded him that it was his idea. Thus ended the short life of Clodomir's descendants, at least two of the three since Clodoald had been able to escape.[5]




Adulthood

Clodoald renounced all claims to the throne and lived as a studious hermit and disciple of Séverin of Paris [fr], who led a solitary and contemplative life in a hermitage at the gates of Paris (on the site of the present Saint-Séverin Church in the 5th arrondissement). The young prince became his disciple and received from his hands the religious habit. Clodoald preferred a humble and quiet life of solitude, to a bright, but perilous life in a royal palace.[6] For some time he remained in his company, to be trained in all the monastic virtues. At the age of twenty, Saint Cloud left his hermitage and appeared before the Bishop of Paris surrounded by religious and civic leaders and members of the royal family. The bishop cut Cloud's long hair, which was a symbol of his royalty. Childebert and Clotaire, as they saw him as no threat, left him undisturbed and even gave him some inheritances to live more comfortably in the place of his retirement.


After Séverin's death, Clodoald left the surroundings of Paris and secretly retired to Provence. The inhabitants of the surrounding area came to him because they learned that Cloud had the gift of healing.[6] Saint Cloud remained there eleven years, and then went back to his first hermitage, where the people greeted his return with joy.


At the people's request, he was ordained a priest by Bishop Eusebius of Paris in 551 and served the church for some time.[2] His humility and his charity were praised. Clodoald could not endure these honours for long, and to avoid them, retired to a hill along the Seine, two leagues below Paris, in a place called Novigentum (the present commune of Saint-Cloud). Here among the fishermen and farmers, he led a life of solitude and prayer, and built a church, which he dedicated in honor of Martin of Tours.


As soon as the place of his retreat was known, disciples came to place themselves under his direction. Some cells were first built, soon a monastery became necessary. According to tradition, Clodoald had a monastery with a chapel built and endowed with the goods that the kings, his uncles, gave him. He lived seven years in his monastery, among his brothers, giving them an example of all the virtues. He died there on September 7, 560 at the age of thirty-eight.[6]


Veneration

According to legend, Clodoald predicted his death in advance, which was followed by several miracles, which occurred near his tomb. Clodoald was then canonized and the hamlet quickly transformed into a place of pilgrimage, where huge crowds flocked. Novigentum then changed its name to "Sanctus Clodoaldus" (Saint-Cloud) in his honour. The abbey is now a collegiate church of canons regular called Église Saint-Clodoald [fr] wherein his relics are kept.[2] St. Cloud, Wisconsin, and St. Cloud, Minnesota, are in turn named after the French town.


Clodoald's feast day is September 7.

At the request of the bishop of Augsberg, Bavaria, he evangelized in Eptaticus in the eastern part of Allgäu, Bavaria. By the River Lech in Bavaria, in a place still known as Sant Mangstritt (footstep of Saint Magnus) he founded the monastery of Füssen.


Some extraordinary stories grew up around Magnus, often involving animals. In Kempten he dispersed a plague of snakes. At Füssen, he was forced to expel a dragon from the land he needed for the monastery; in one version of the story, he spared an infant dragon who helped local farmers by hunting rats, mice and other crop-damaging vermin. While on a walk in the woods near the monastery, he encountered a bear who showed him a vein of iron ore; he gave the bear some cake. The bear followed Magnus back to the abbey where the saint rounded up some tools and monks; the bear then led them all to several other iron ore sources in the nearby mountains, thus helping found the area's most lucrative industry.

St. Eleutherius

நினைவுத்திருநாள் : செப்டம்பர் 6



பிறப்பு : (தெரியவில்லை)


இறப்பு : 585, உரோம், செயிண்ட் ஆண்ரூ ஆலயம் (St. Andrew’s Church, Rome)


எல்யூடேரியஸ் அற்புதமான எளிமையான வாழ்வை வாழ்ந்தார். மனசாட்சியின் குரலுக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுத்து, தூய ஆவியானவர் காட்டிய வழியில் சென்றார். ஸ்பொலேட்டோ (Spoleto) என்ற நகரிலிருந்த புனித மார்க்கின் துறவற மடத்தில் சேர்ந்து குருவாக திருநிலைப்படுத்தப்பட்டார். குருவான சில ஆண்டுகளில் துறவற மடத்திற்கு மடாதிபதியாக தேர்வு செய்யப்பட்டார். கடவுளின் அருளால் பல அற்புதங்களை செய்தார்.


இவர் தன் மடத்தில் குழந்தைகளுக்கு கல்வி கற்றுக்கொடுக்கும் பணியை ஆற்றினார். அப்போது ஒருநாள் சாத்தான் இவரை சோதிக்க வந்தது. ஆனால் இவரின் இறைபக்தியை கண்டு சாத்தான் பயந்து ஓடிவிட்டது. ஆனால் மீண்டும் சாத்தான் குழந்தையின் வடிவில் வந்து சோதித்தது. பின்னர் ஒரு குழந்தைக்குள் புகுந்தது. அக்குழந்தை சாத்தான் கடுமையாக தாக்கி, நோயை உண்டாக்கியது. இதனைக் கண்ட எல்யூடேரியஸ் மற்றும் அவரது குழும உறுப்பினர்களும் இணைந்து தவமிருந்தும் கடினமான நோன்பிருந்தும் செபித்தனர். இறைவேண்டலால் சாத்தானின் பிடியிலிருந்து குழந்தை விடுபட்டது. ஆனால் குழந்தை மிகவும் சோர்ந்து பலவீனத்துடன் காணப்பட்டது. சாகும்தறுவாயில் குழந்தை இருந்தது இதனால் அக்குழந்தையை எல்யூடேரியஸ் செயிண்ட் ஆன்ரூஸ் பேராலயத்திற்கு எடுத்து சென்றார்.


இவர் அப்பேராலயத்தில் கடின நோயிலிருந்து இடைவிடாமல் இறைவேண்டலில் ஈடுபட்டு குழந்தையை பழைய நிலைக்கு கொண்டு வந்தார். அக்குழந்தை மீண்டும் புந்து உயிர்பெற்றது. அதிலிருந்து இவர் தொடர்ந்து கண்ணீர் வடித்து திருச்சபைக்காகவும், மக்களுக்காகவும் மன்றாடினார். வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் நோன்பிலிருந்து பல அருள் கொடைகலை பெற்றார். அதிகமாக நோன்பிருந்ததால் உடல் முழுவதும் சக்தி இழந்து காணப்பட்டார். இதனால் தன் தலைவர் பதவியை விட்டு விலகி செபிப்பதில் மட்டுமே இறக்கும்வரை தன் வாழ்வை கழித்தார்.

✠நினைவுத் திருநாள் : செப்டம்பர் 6


✠பாதுகாவல் : சிற்பிகள், கலைஞர்கள்


அருளாளர் கிளாடியோ க்ரன்ஸோட்டோ ஒரு இத்தாலிய இளநிலை ஃபிரான்சிஸ்கன் சபை (Order of Friars Minor) துறவியும், இருபதாம் நூற்றாண்டின் மத்தியில் புகழ்பெற்ற சிற்பியும் ஆவார். அவரது பணிகள், அவரது மத வெளிப்பாட்டிற்கான ஒரு வழியாக இருந்தன. மற்றவர்களுக்கு நற்செய்தியைப் பிரசங்கிக்க சிற்பக் கலையை பயன்படுத்தினார்.


"ரிக்கார்டோ க்ரன்ஸோட்டோ" (Riccardo Granzotto) எனும் இயற்பெயர் கொண்ட இவரது தந்தையாரின் பெயர், "ஆன்டனியோ க்ரன்ஸோட்டோ" (Antonio Granzotto) ஆகும். தாயாரின் பெயர், "ஜியோவன்னா ஸ்கொட்டோ" (Giovanna Scott�) ஆகும். ஆகஸ்ட் 23,1900 அன்று பிறந்த இவருக்கு செப்டம்பர் மாதம் இரண்டாம் தேதி திருமுழுக்கு கொடுத்தனர். இவரது திருமுழுக்குப் பெயர், "ரிக்கார்டோ விட்டோரியோ" (Riccardo Vittorio) ஆகும். ஏழை விவசாயிகளான தமது பெற்றோரின் ஒன்பது குழந்தைகளில் கடைக்குட்டியாக பிறந்த இவர், வெகு சிறு வயதிலேயே விவசாய பணிகளை செய்ய ஆரம்பித்தார். காரணம், இவருக்கு ஒன்பதே வயதாகும் வேளையில் (1909) இவரது தந்தை இறந்து போனார். மிகவும் ஏழ்மை காரணமாக இவர் கடினமாக உழைத்தார். இவரது மூத்த சகோதரரான "ஜியோவன்னி" (Giovanni) ஒரு தொழிலாளியாக பணியாற்றினார். இவரது பக்தியான பெற்றோர்கள், தமது பிள்ளைகளுக்கு தங்களுடைய விசுவாசத்தைப் பற்றின வலுவான அறிவை அளித்திருந்தனர்.


1915ம் ஆண்டு, இவரது பதினைந்து வயதில் முதலாம் உலகப் போர் (World War I) வெடித்தது. தவிர்க்க இயலா காரங்களால் கிளாடியோ "இத்தாலிய ஆயுத படைகளில்" (Italian armed forces) சேர்ந்து போர் முனைக்கு சென்றார். அங்கே அவர், 1918ம் ஆண்டு போர் முடியும்வரை மூன்று வருடங்கள் பணியாற்றினார்.


இராணுவத்திலிருந்து வெளியே வந்த அவர், தமது கல்வியைத் தொடர்ந்தார். அத்துடன், தமது ஓவியம் மற்றும் சிற்பம் போன்ற துறைகளில் தமது திறமையை வளர்த்துக்கொண்டார். வெனிஸ் (Venice) நகரிலிருந்த மென்கலைகளுக்கான (Academy of Fine Arts) பள்ளியில் சேர்ந்து கற்று 1929ல் பட்டம் பெற்றார்.
