 Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity

Also known as

• Elizabeth Catez

• Élisabeth...

Profile

Daughter of Captain Joseph Catez and Marie Catez. Her father died when the girl was seven, leaving her mother to raise Elizabeth and her sister Marguerite. Noted as a lively, popular girl, extremely stubborn, given to fits of rage, with great reverence for God, and an early attraction to a life of prayer and reflection. Gifted pianist. She visited the sick and taught catechism to children.

Much against her mother's wishes, she entered the Discalced Carmelite monastery in Dijon, France on 2 August 1901. Though noted for great spiritual growth, she was also plagued with periods of powerful darkness, and her spiritual director expressed doubts over Elizabeth's vocation. She completed her noviate, and took her final vows on 11 January 1903. She became a spiritual director for many, and left a legacy of letters and retreat guides. Her dying words: I am going to Light, to Love, to Life!

Born

Died

Also known as

• Doctor Subtilis

• Johannes Scotus

• The Subtle Doctor

Profile

Son of a wealthy farmer. Friar Minor at Dumfries where his uncle Elias Duns was superior. Studied at Oxford and Paris. Ordained 17 March 1291 at Saint Andrew's Church, Northampton at age 25. Lectured at Oxford and Cambridge from 1297 to 1301 when he returned to Paris to teach and complete his doctorate.

John pointed out the richness of the Augustinian-Franciscan tradition, appreciated the wisdom of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle and the Muslim philosophers, and still managed to be an independent thinker. His ideas led to the founding of a school of Scholastic thought called Scotism. In 1303 when King Philip the Fair tried to enlist the University of Paris on his side in a dispute with Pope Boniface VIII over the taxation of Church property, but John dissented and was given three days to leave France.

He returned to Paris in 1305, and received his doctorate. He then taught there, and in 1307 so ably defended the Immaculate Conception of Mary that the university officially adopted his position. Drawing on this work, Pope Pius IX solemnly defined the Immaculate Conception of Mary in 1854.

The Franciscan minister general assigned John to the Franciscan school in Cologne, Germany; he died there the next year.

Born

1266 at Duns, Berwick, Scotland

Died

• 8 November 1308 of natural causes at Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia (in modern Germany)

• buried in a Franciscan church near the Cologne cathedral

Saint Godfrey of Amiens

Also known as

Gaufrid, Geoffrey, Geoffroy, Geofroi, Gioffredo, Godefrid, Godefridus, Goffredo, Goffrey, Gofrido, Gotfrid, Gottfried, Jeffrey

Profile

Son of Frodon, a solid citizen in a small town. Raised from age 5 in the Benedictine abbey of Mont-Saint-Quentin where his godfather was abbot Godefroid, and where he immediately donned a Benedictine habit and lived as a tiny monk. He became a Benedictine monk when he came of age. Priest, ordained by bishop Radbod II of Noyon, France.

Abbot of Nogent-sous-Coucy, archdiocese of Rheims, Champagne province (in modern France) in 1096. When he arrived, the place was overrun by weeds and housed only six nuns and two children. He rebuilt, restored, and revitalized the abbey, bringing people to the Order, and Order to the people. Offered the abbacy of Saint-Remi, but refused. Offered the archbishopric of Rheims in 1097, but refused, claiming he was unworthy. Offered the bishopric of Amiens, France in 1104, and still considered himself unworthy of the trust; King Philip and the Council of Troyes each ordered him to take it, and so he did.

Noted for his rigid austerity - with himself, those around him, and in his approach to his mission as bishop. Enforced clerical celibacy. Fierce lifelong opponent of drunkeness and simony, which led to an attempt on his life. For most of his time as bishop, he wished to resign and retire as a Carthusian monk. In 1114 he moved to a monastery, but a few months later his people demanded his return, and he agreed. Took part in the Council of Chálons.

Though popular in life and death, his name did not appear on the calendars until the 16th century.

புனிதர் வில்ஹேட், ஒரு கிறிஸ்தவ மறைப்பணியாளரும்,  திருயாத்திரீகரும், ஆயரும் ஆவார்.

தற்போதைய வடக்கு இங்கிலாந்து (North England) மற்றும் தென்கிழக்கு ஸ்காட்லாந்து ((South East Scotland)) பகுதிகளை உள்ளடக்கிய பிராந்தியமான நார்த்தும்ப்ரியாவில் ((Northumbria)) பிறந்த இவர், யார்க் (York) பேராயரான "எக்பேர்ட்" (Ecgbert) என்பவரின் மேற்பார்வையின் கீழே கல்வி கற்றார். ஆங்கிலேய கல்வியாளரும், இறையியலாளருமான "அல்குயின்" (Alcuin) நண்பரான அவர், கல்வியின் பின்னர் குருத்துவ அருட்பொழிவு பெற்றார். தற்போதைய நெதர்லாந்தின் (Netherlands) பெரும்பகுதியும், ஃபிரீஸ்லாந்து (Friesland) நாட்டின் சிறு பகுதியுமான "ஃபிரீசியா" (Frisia) என்னும் இடத்துக்கு கி.பி. 766ம் ஆண்டு பயணித்த இவர், கி.பி. 754ம் ஆண்டு, "ஃபிரீசியன்" (Frisian) இனத்தவரால் படுகொலை செய்யப்பட்டு, மறைசாட்சியாக மரித்த புனிதர் "போனிஃபேஸ்" (Boniface) என்பவரின் மறைப்பணிகளை தொடரும் நோக்கில், டச்சு வலுவூட்டப்பட்ட "டோக்கும்" (Dokkum) நகரம், மற்றும் நெதர்லாந்தின் மத்திய கிழக்கு பிராந்திய நகரான "ஓவரிஜ்செல்" (Overijssel) நகரங்களில் மதபோதனை செய்தார். கி.பி. 777ம் ஆண்டு, "பேட்ர்பார்னில்" (Paderborn) நடந்த ஒரு மாநாட்டில், சாக்சனி (Saxony) மிஷனரி மண்டலங்களாக (Missionary Zones) பிரிக்கப்பட்டது. வடமேற்கு ஜெர்மனியிலுள்ள (Northwestern Germany) "வெஸ்ஸர்" (Weser) எனும் நதி, மற்றும் மத்திய ஐரோப்பாவின் (Central Europe) முக்கிய பெரும் நதியான "எல்பி" (Elbe) ஆகிய இரண்டின் இடையேயுள்ள "விக்மோடியா" (Wigmodia) பிராந்தியம் வில்ஹேடுக்கு தரப்பட்டது.

வில்ஹேட், கி.பி. 780ம் ஆண்டு முதல், ஃபிராங்க்ஸ் அரசரும் (king of the Franks), தூய ரோமப் பேரரசருமான (Holy Roman Emperor) சார்லிமகன் (Charlemagne) அல்லது முதலாம் சார்லஸ் (Charles I) அவர்களின் ஆணையின் கீழ், "லோவர் வெஸ்ஸர்" (Lower Weser River) ஆற்றின் பிராந்தியங்களில் பிரசங்கித்தார்.

"ஃபிரீசியன்" (Frisian) இனத்தவர் அவரை கொலை செய்ய தேடியபோது, அங்கிருந்து தப்பியோடி மத்திய நெதர்லாந்தின் நகரான "உட்ரெட்ச்" (Utrecht) சென்றார். உள்ளூர் கோயில்கள் சிலவற்றை அழிப்பதற்காக அவர்களை கொள்வதற்காக பாகன் இனத்தவர்கள் தேடியபோது, அவரும் அவரது சக மிஷனரிகளை உயிர்தப்பி ஓடிப்போனார்கள். கடைசியாக, கி.பி. 780ம் ஆண்டு, சாக்ஸன் இனத்தவரிடையே மறைப்பணியாற்றுவதற்காக அவரை பேரரசர் முதலாம் சார்லஸ் அனுப்பினார். அவர் அங்கெ சாக்ஸன் இனத்தவரிடையே இரண்டு வருடங்கள் வரை மறைபோதகம் செய்தார். ஆனால், கி.பி. 782ம் ஆண்டு, சாக்ஸன் இன மக்களுள் சிலர், பேரரசர் முதலாம் சார்லஸின் எதிர்ப்பாளரான "விடுகைண்ட்"(Widukind) என்பவரது தலைமையில் கூடி, பேரரசருக்கு எதிராக கலகம் விளைவித்தனர். இதனால், வில்ஹேட் ஃபிரீசியாவுக்கு (Frisia) ஓடிச் செல்ல வேண்டிய கட்டாயம் ஏற்பட்டது. அவர் இந்த வாய்ப்பை ரோம் நகருக்கு பயணிக்க பயன்படுத்திக்கொண்டார்.  அங்கே, திருத்தந்தை முதலாம் அட்ரியன் (Pope Adrian I) அவர்களிடம் பணியாற்றினார்.

ரோம் நகரிலிருந்து திரும்பியதும், வில்ஹேட், தற்போதைய "லக்ஸம்பர்க்" (Luxembourg) நகரிலுள்ள "எக்டர்னாக்" (Monastery of Echternach) துறவுமட்டத்தில் சில காலம் ஒய்வு பெற்றார். அங்கே, தமது மிஷனரி குழுக்களை ஒன்றிணைக்க இரண்டு ஆண்டுகள் செலவிட்டார்.

பேரரசர் முதலாம் சார்லஸ் சாக்ஸன்களை வெற்றிகொண்டதும், வில்ஹேட் "லோவர் எல்பி" (Lower Elbe) மற்றும் "லோவர் வெஸ்ஸர்" நதிகளின் பிராந்தியங்களில் மறைபோதகம் செய்தார். கி.பி. 787ம் ஆண்டு, வில்ஹேட் ஆயராக அருட்பொழிவு செய்விக்கப்பட்டார். வெஸ்ஸர் நதியின் முகத்துவாரப் பகுதியான சக்ஸனி மற்றும் ஃ பிரீஸ்லாந்து பகுதிகள் (part of Saxony and Friesland) இவரது மறைமாவட்ட பகுதிகளாக இவருக்கு தரப்பட்டன. அவர், "ப்ரெம்மன்" (Bremen) நகரை தமது மறைமாவட்ட தலைமையகமாக தேர்வு செய்தார். கி.பி. 782ம் ஆண்டு, முதன்முதலாக ஆவணங்களில் "ப்ரெம்மன்" (Bremen) மறைமாவட்டமாக குறிக்கப்பட்டது. அங்கேயே ஒரு ஆலயமும் கட்டப்பட்டது. புனித அன்ஸ்கர் (Saint Ansgar) அவர்களால் அதன் அழகுக்காக புகழப்பட்ட இவ்வாலயம், கி.பி. 789ம் ஆண்டு, அர்ச்சிக்கப்பட்டது.

வில்ஹேட், கி.பி. 789ம் ஆண்டு, நவம்பர் மாதம், எட்டாம் தேதி, ஜெர்மன் நாட்டின் வெஸ்ஸெர் மீதுள்ள ப்லெக்ஸன் நகரில் மரித்தார். புதிதாய் கட்டப்பட்டு, தாம் மரிப்பதற்கு சிறிது காலம் முன்னால், தம்மால் அர்ச்சிக்கப்பட்ட ஆலயத்தில் அவர் அடக்கம் செய்யப்பட்டார்.

Pope Saint Adeodatus I

Also known as

Profile

Son of Stephen, a subdeacon. Pope. Supported the clergy who were being repressed by the politics of the day, trying to work their vocations during rebellions in Ravenna and Naples in Italy.

Four Crowned Martyrs

Profile

Saint Castorus, Saint Claudius, Saint Nicostratus, and Saint Simpronian. Skilled stone carvers in the 3rd century quarries. Martyred when they refused to carve an idol of Aesculapius for Diocletian.

St. Castorius is the patron saint of sculptors and his feast day is November 8th. Castorius, Claudius, Nicostratus, and Symphorian are called "the four crowned martyrs" who were tortured and executed in Pannonia, Hungary during the reign of Diocletian. According to legend, they were employed as carvers at Sirmium (Mitrovica, Yugoslavia) and impressed Diocletian with their art, as did another carver, Simplicius. Diocletian commissioned them to do several carvings, which they did to his satisfaction, but they then refused to carve a statue of Aesculapius, as they were Christians. The emperor accepted their beliefs, but when they refused to sacrifice to the gods, they were imprisoned. When Diocletian's officer Lampadius, who was trying to convince them to sacrifice to the gods, suddenly died, his relatives accused the five of his death; to placate the relatives, the emperor had them executed. Another story has four unnamed Corniculari beaten to death in Rome with leaden whips when they refused to offer sacrifice to Aesculapius. They were buried on the Via Lavicana and were later given their names by Pope Militiades. Probably they were the four Pannonian martyrs (not counting Simplicius) whose remains were translated to Rome and buried in the Four Crowned Ones basilica there. A further complication is the confusion of their story with that of the group of martyrs associated with St. Carpophorus in the Roman Martyrology under November 8th.
