Saint Robert of Newminster
Profile
Studied at the University of Paris. Wrote a commentary on the Psalms, but it has been lost. Parish priest at Gargrave, England, and later a Benedictine monk at Whitby, England. With his abbot's permission, he joined the founders of the Cistercian monastery of Fountains Abbey in 1132. He headed the first Cistercian colony sent from Fountains in 1138. He established the abbey of Newminster near the castle of Ralph de Merlay, one in Morpeth, England, one in Pipewell, England in 1143, one in Roche, Cornwall in 1147, and another in Sawley, Lancashire, England in 1148. Friend of Saint Godric of Finchale. Reputed to have had supernatural gifts, received visions, and suffered encounters with demons.
At least one biography says that Robert was accused by his own monks of sexual misconduct with a local woman, and that he went abroad c.1147-1148, to defend himself before Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. However, there seems little support for this story except the desire by its originator to claim he was acquitted by the great Bernard.
Legend says that he fasted so rigorously during Lent that a brother monk pleaded with him to eat. Robert agreed, and was given some buttered oatcake. But he suddenly feared to commit the sin of gluttony, and asked it be given to the poor. A beautiful stranger at the gate took the cake - and the dish. As a brother was explaining the incident, the dish suddenly appeared on the table before the abbot; the brothers decided the stranger was an angel.

இவர் தனது 21 ஆம் வயதிலிருந்து அன்னைமரியிடம் கற்பு என்னும் வார்த்தைப்பாட்டை அர்ப்பணித்து துறவற வாழ்வை வாழ்ந்தார். தன்னுடன் 14 இளம் பெண்களையும் சேர்த்து அனைவரும் ஒரே குழுமமாக வாழ்ந்து வந்தனர். பின்னர் இக்குழுவை நாளடைவில் பல இளம் பெண்கள் இனங்கண்டு கொண்டு, தங்களையும் அக்குழுவோடு இணைத்தார். இளம் பெண்களின் எண்ணிக்கை அதிகரிக்கவே, மரிய தெரேசியா டி சோபிரான், தன் பிறந்த ஊரிலேயே ஒரு துறவற இல்லம் தொடங்கினார். இவ்வில்லத்தை இயேசு சபையை சார்ந்த அருட்தந்தை மரியா அக்சீலியாடிஸ் (Maria Auxiliatrice) என்பவர் உதவிசெய்து, ஆன்ம குருவாக பணியாற்றி வழிநடத்திவந்தார். இவர்கள் அனைவரும் ஒன்றாக இணைந்து ஜெபித்து, அன்னையின் அருளால் "மரியன்னையின் உதவியாளர்கள்"(Mariens von der immer währenden Hilfe) என்று தங்களின் சபைக்கு பெயர் சூட்டினர்.

Attributes Religious habit
Patronage Sisters of Marie-Auxiliatrice
Sophie-Thérèse de Soubiran La Louvière French pronunciation: [maʁi teʁɛz d subiʁã la luvjɛʁ] (16 May 1834 - 7 June 1893) was a French Roman Catholic nun who established the Sisters of Marie-Auxiliatrice. She adopted the name of Marie of the Sacred Heart in 1877 after she had become a nun.
Pope Pius XII beatified her on 20 October 1946 after the recognition of two miracles found to have been attributed to her intercession.[1]
Life
Sophie-Thérèse de Soubiran La Louvière was born in 1834 in France to Joseph Paul Comte de Soubiran and Noemi de Gélis. She received her First Communion on 29 June 1845.
At the age of 20 she renounced her plans to become a Carmelite nun in order to achieve the aims that her priest uncle Louis de Soubiran had set out for his parish. She attended a retreat under the Jesuit Paul Ginhac and decided to establish her own religious institution in 1864 with a focus on girls. Pope Pius IX - on 19 December 1868 - issued a Decree of Praise for the new order.
Trouble began in 1869, the year after the community was authorized, with the profession of a new sister, who claimed to be a widow. Louvière trained her to keep the books of the order. In 1870 she fled to London due to the Franco-Prussian War and returned home after the Treaty of Frankfurt in May 1871. When she returned, she found herself accused of financial mismanagement by the new sister, with evidence out of the books. As a result, Louvière was forced to leave the community. It took a few years for her to find a community that would accept her; to support herself in the meantime, she took in embroidery. Finally, she was accepted by the Paris monastery of Our Lady of Charity in 1874, where she took vows three years later under the name Marie of the Sacred Heart.
Her health began to take a steep decline after 1881 and she taught at various places in France. Despite the pain she endured she continued to teach catechism to people. She died on 7 June 1889 with her last words being: "Come, Lord Jesus, come!"[1]
Two years later, a new Mary Help of Christians superior reviewed the allegations, as Louvière's book-keeping nemesis had fled the convent, and her husband had come looking for her. As a result of the subsequent examination, it was discovered that the fled book-keeper had embezzled monies of the order, and falsified the books so as to throw the blame on Louvière. The founder was vindicated, and her reputation was restored.
Sainthood
The beatification process started in Paris on 9 May 1934 under Pope Pius XI which granted her the title of Servant of God. The two processes that ensured were ratified in a decree on 22 March 1938. Pope Pius XII conferred upon her the title of Venerable on 7 August 1940 after the recognition of her life of heroic virtue.
Two miracles attributed to her were approved in 1945 and Pius XII beatified her on 20 October 1946.
Candidus of Tongeren
Candidus of Tongeren, also known as Candidus of Maastricht, is a figure shrouded in some mystery. Here's what we know:
Possible Bishop: Legends claim he was the tenth bishop of Tongeren, possibly succeeding a Saint Valentine around 337-400 AD. However, there's no definitive proof. He might not have held the official title but served as a leader for the bishopric of Tongeren-Maastricht.
Vision and Journey: According to some accounts, Candidus had a vision while serving as a priest and guardian of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He was instructed to travel to Tongeren to succeed a bishop named Valentinus who had died seven years prior.
Limited Information: Details about his life and accomplishments are scarce. He isn't even mentioned in a 10th-century list of bishops by Heriger of Lobbes.
Celebration:
Despite the ambiguity surrounding his life, Candidus is recognized as a saint.
His feast day is celebrated on:
May 15th, along with all the holy bishops of Maastricht.
June 7th, alongside Saint Valentinus of Tongeren.
