 Saint Kevin of Glendalough


Also known as

• Kevin of Glen da locha

• Caoimhghin, Coemgen, Coemgenus, Comegen, Keivin



Profile

Son of Coemlog and Coemell, Leinster nobility. Baptized by Saint Cronan of Roscrea, and educated by Saint Petroc of Cornwall from age seven. Lived with monks from age 12. Studied for the priesthood in Cell na Manach (Killnamanagh). Student of Saint Eonagh. Priest, ordained by bishop Lugidus. Monk. Acquaintance of Saint Comgall, Saint Columba, Saint Cannich, and Saint Kieran of Clonmacnois.


Following his ordination, he lived as a hermit for seven years into a cave at Glendalough, a Bronze Age tomb now known as Saint Kevin's Bed, to which he was reportedly led by an angel. He wore skins, ate the nettles and herbs that came to hand, and spent his time in prayer. Word of his holiness spread, and he attracted followers, including Saint Moling. Founded the monastery at Glendalough, which included relics brought back during a pilgrimage to Rome, Italy. This house, in turn, founded several others, and around it grew a town which became a see city, though now subsumed into the archdiocese of Dublin. Served as abbot for several years. When he saw that the monastery was well-established, he withdrew to live as a hermit. Four years later, however, he returned to Glendalough at the entreaty of his monk, and served as abbot until his death at age 120. King Colman of Ui Faelain entrusted Kevin with raising his son.


Noted as a man who did not always like the company of men - but was at home with the animals, as some of the legends surrounding him show.


During a drought, Kevin fed his monks with salmon, a symbol of wisdom, brought to him by an otter. When one of the monks considered making gloves out of the otter's pelt, it left and never returned.


Once during Lent, while he held his arms outstretched in prayer, a blackbird laid an egg in the Kevin's hand. He remained in that position until the baby bird hatched.


A cow which habitually licked Kevin's clothes while the saint was in prayer gave as much milk as 50 other cows.


Lacking milk to feed the son of King Colman, Kevin prayed for help. A doe arrived to provide for the baby. When the doe was later killed by a wolf, Kevin chastised the killer; the wolf then provided the milk herself.


A young man with severe epilepsy received a vision that he would be cured by eating an apple. There were, however, no apple trees about. Kevin, seeing the lad's need, ordered a willow to produce apples; twenty yellow apples appeared on the tree.


In his old age, King O'Tool of Glendalough made a pet of a goose. As time passed, the goose also became aged and weak, and finally unable to fly. Hearing of Kevin's sanctity and power, the pagan king sent for him, and asked that he make the beloved goose young. Kevin asked for a payment of whatever land the goose would fly over. As the goose could no longer take flight, O'Toole agreed. When Kevin touched the bird, it grew young, and flew over the entire valley that was used to found the monastery of Glendalough.


A boar was being chased by a group of hunters with their dogs. It ran to where Kevin sat praying under a tree, and cowered beside him for protection. When the dogs saw the saint in prayer, they laid on their stomachs, and would not approach the boar. When the hunters decided they would ignore the man and kill the boar, a flock of birds settled in the tree above the praying saint. The hunters took this as a sign, and left man and beast alone.

புனிதர் பட்டம்: 18 அக்டோபர் 1964


திருத்தந்தை ஆறாம் பவுல்




நினைவுத் திருநாள் : ஜுன் 3




"வெள்ளைக் குருக்கள்" என்றழைக்கப்படும் துறவற சபையினர் ஆப்ரிக்காவில் நைல் நதி மேற்குப்பகுதியில் வாழ்ந்து வந்து மக்களிடையே 1878ல் மறைபரப்புப்பணியில் இறங்கினர். 1879ம் ஆண்டு பெரிய சனிக்கிழமையன்று முதன்முதலாக சிலர் திருமுழுக்கு பெற்றனர். இவர்களில் சிலர் இஸ்லாம் மறையிலிருந்து புரோட்டஸ்டாண்டு சபைக்கு மாறி, அதிலிருந்து கத்தோலிக்கரானவர்கள்.


கத்தோலிக்க மெய்மறை மிக விரைவாக பரவுகிறதென்பதை உணர்ந்த இஸ்லாமியரின் தூண்டுதலால் 1886ல் முவாஷ்கா (Muwashka) என்ற அரசன் கத்தோலிக்கர்களைத் துன்புறுத்த ஏவிவிட்டான்.


சார்லஸ் லுவாங்காவும் அவரின் தோழர்களும் அரச அவையில் பணிபுரிந்து வந்தனர். இவர்கள் எல்லாரும் 13-30 வயதுக்குட்பட்ட இளைஞர்கள். முவாஷ்கா ஓரின சேர்க்கைக்கு அடிமைப்பட்டவனாக இருந்தான். அவன் அரச அலுவல் புரிந்தவர்களைக் கெடுக்க சூழ்ச்சி செய்தபோது, சார்லஸ் தம் தோழர்களிடம், "இது தீமையானது, கொடுமையானது" என்று அறிவுரை கூறி ஓரின சேர்க்கையில் ஈடுபடாமல் காப்பாற்றி வந்தார். சார்லஸ் தான் புதிதாக பெற்றுக்கொண்ட விசுவாசத்திற்காக நமுகொஸ்கோ (Namukosco) என்ற இடத்தில் நெருப்பிலிடப்பட்டு கொல்லப்பட்டார்.


சார்லஸின் அறிவுரைப்படி மற்ற இளைஞர்கள் தங்கள் புனிதத்தில் நிலைத்து நின்றனர். 13 வயதான சிறு பெண் தனது கற்புக்காக மற்றவர்களைப்போல உயிரைத் தியாகம் செய்தார். இந்த வேதகலாபனை முடிந்த மறு ஆண்டிலேயே ஆப்பிரிக்காவின் இந்தப் பகுதியில் மறைபரப்பு பணி மிக விரைவாக பரவியது. ஆப்பிரிக்காவில் இந்த மறைசாட்சிகளின் இரத்தம் சிந்தப்பட்டதன் பயனாக ஒரு புதுயுகம் தோன்றிவிட்டது. முழுமையான சுதந்திரம் பெற்று மகிழும் ஆப்பிரிக்காவாக பொலிவுடன் வளர்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது. இவர்களின் வேதனையில் புதிய யுகத்தை சார்ந்த ஆப்பிரிக்கா மக்களின் ஆன்மீக மேம்பாட்டுக்கான பாடங்கள் பல மிளிர்கின்றன.



மறைசாட்சிகள் தூண்களில் கட்டப்பட்டனர். சிறையில் அடைக்கப்பட்டனர். சாட்டையடி பட்டனர். ஈட்டிகளால் குத்தப்பட்டனர், சுட்டெரிக்கப்பட்டனர். தலை வெட்டப்பட்டனர். இப்படி இருந்தும் ஆப்பிரிக்காவில் கிறிஸ்தவர்கள் பலுகிப் பெருகினர்.

A group of courtiers and servants who died with St. Charles Lwanga in the court of King Mwanga of Uganda. Some martyrs were young boys. They were slain with horrible cruelty. All were converts of the White Fathers founded by Charles Cardinal Lavigerie in 1868. A shrine, now a basilica, was erected in their honor. They were canonized in 1964.


For the university, see Uganda Martyrs University.

The Uganda Martyrs are a group of 23 Anglican and 22 Catholic converts to Christianity in the historical kingdom of Buganda, now part of Uganda, who were executed between 31 January 1885 and 27 January 1887.[2][3]


They were killed on orders of Mwanga II, the Kabaka (King) of Buganda. The deaths took place at a time when there was a three-way religious struggle for political influence at the Buganda royal court. The episode also occurred against the backdrop of the "Scramble for Africa" – the invasion, occupation, division, colonization and annexation of African territory by European powers.[4] A few years after, the English Church Missionary Society used the deaths to enlist wider public support for the British acquisition of Uganda for the Empire.[5] The Catholic Church beatified the 22 Catholic martyrs of its faith in 1920 and canonized them in 1964.

The martyrs Daudi Okelo and Jildo Irwa were two young catechists from Uganda. They belonged to the Acholi tribe, a subdivision of the large Luo group. They lived and were martyred in the years immediately following the founding of the mission of Kitgum by the Comboni Missionaries in 1915.


Anglicanism

The Martyrs of Uganda are remembered in the Church of England with a commemoration on 3 June,[44] when commemorating the martyrs of Uganda, the Church of England includes Archbishop Janani Luwum, who was murdered in 1977 by Idi Amin's henchmen; they also commemorate Luwum separately on 16 February.

Saint John Grande


Also known as

• Juan Grande Román

• Juan Grande

• Juan Pecador



Profile

Raised in a solidly Christian family, John was a choir boy from age 7 to 12. He was apprenticed in the linen business in Seville, Spain from age 15, and then returned to Carmona, Spain to start his own shop. At age 19 he left business behind, gave away his possessions, and became a hermit at Marcena. Referred to himself not just as Juan Grande, his given name, but Juan Grande Pecador (John the Great Sinner).


Worked in prisons and hospitals in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. With the aid of a wealthy couple in the area, he founded and managed the Hospital de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria (Our Lady of Candlemas) at Jerez. He affiliated the place with the Order of Hospitallers, handing it over to Saint John of God, and joining the Order himself at Granada, Spain in 1574. During an outbreak of the plague in 1574, he organized a group to help tend to victims; they were very successful. At the request of the Archbishop of Seville, Spain he completely reformed the Church's health care system in the diocese, improving efficiency and services.


John was blessed with mystical gifts, and predicted the fall of the Spanish Armada. He ran afoul of many in authority, chastising officials and those who ran charities when they lived well, and those they were supposed to serve continued to suffer. Arranged anonymous dowries for poor girls so they could marry and avoid lives on the street. He fed and clothed prisoners and refugees, and died tending to plague victims.
