John Southworth (c. 1592, Lancashire, England - 28 June 1654, Tyburn, London) was an English Catholic martyr. He is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.



History

John Southworth came from a Lancashire family who lived at Samlesbury Hall. They chose to pay heavy fines rather than give up the Catholic faith.[1]


He studied at the English College in Douai, in northern France. (The college later relocated to St Edmund's College, Ware in Hertfordshire.) In 1585 a law had been passed branding as treasonable any priest who dared to come back to England. The law was later extended to all who assisted such priests.


Southworth was ordained priest before he returned to England 13 October 1619,[2] where he remained until 1624,[1] when he was then recalled to serve as chaplain to Benedictine nuns in Brussels.[3]


After about a year, he returned to Lancashire, where he was arrested in 1627 and imprisoned in Lancaster Castle along with Edmund Arrowsmith. Arrowsmith was hanged, drawn, and quartered at Lancaster on 28 August 1628.[4] Southworth was later moved to The Clink in London. He was sentenced to death for professing the Catholic faith, but in 1630, at the insistence of Queen Henrietta Maria, he and seventeen others were delivered to the French ambassador and deported to France.[3]


By 1636 he had returned to England and lived in Clerkenwell, London, during a plague epidemic. He and Henry Morse ministered to the sick in Westminster,[5] and raised money for the families of victims. Southworth was arrested again in November 1637 and sent to the Gatehouse Prison and again transferred to The Clink, where he remained for three years.[2] Four times Southworth was arrested, and three times released by the Secretary of State Sir Francis Windebank at the direction of the Queen. The fourth time he managed to escape.[3] From 1640 and 1654 he continued his clandestine ministry.[1]


He was again arrested under the Interregnum and was tried at the Old Bailey under Elizabethan anti-priest legislation. He pleaded guilty to exercising the priesthood and was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. He was executed at Tyburn, London.[2]


The Spanish ambassador returned his corpse to Douai for burial.[6] His corpse was sewn together and parboiled, to preserve it. Following the French Revolution, his body was buried in an unmarked grave for its protection. The grave was discovered in 1927 and his remains were returned to England. They are now kept in the Chapel of St George and the English Martyrs in Westminster Cathedral in London.


Veneration


Reliquary of Saint John Southworth in Westminster Cathedral.

He was beatified in 1929. In 1970, he was canonized by Pope Paul VI as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.[6] His feast day is 27 June celebrated in the Westminster diocese.[6] He is a patron saint of priests.[7]


In 2014, The Guild of Saint John Southworth was established in Westminster Cathedral. Its members are volunteers who will meet visitors, answer their questions and guide them around the cathedral if they wish. This service is free.

A bishop of Nola, in Italy. He was the successor of St. Paulinus. His relics were translated to Benevento in 839.


Our Lady of Perpetual Help


Also known as

Our Lady of Perpetual Succour



About

The picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour is painted on wood, with background of gold. It is Byzantine in style and is supposed to have been painted in the thirteenth century. It represents the Mother of God holding the Divine Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel present before Him the instruments of His Passion. Over the figures in the picture are some Greek letters which form the abbreviated words Mother of God, Jesus Christ, Archangel Michael, and Archangel Gabriel respectively.


It was brought to Rome towards the end of the fifteenth century by a pious merchant, who, dying there, ordered by his will that the picture should be exposed in a church for public veneration. It was exposed in the church of San Matteo, Via Merulana, between Saint Mary Major and Saint John Lateran. Crowds flocked to this church, and for nearly three hundred years many graces were obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. The picture was then popularly called the Madonna di San Matteo. The church was served for a time by the Hermits of Saint Augustine, who had sheltered their Irish brethren in their distress.


These Augustinians were still in charge when the French invaded Rome, Italy in 1812 and destroyed the church. The picture disappeared; it remained hidden and neglected for over forty years, but a series of providential circumstances between 1863 and 1865 led to its discovery in an oratory of the Augustinian Fathers at Santa Maria in Posterula. The pope, Pius IX, who as a boy had prayed before the picture in San Matteo, became interested in the discovery and in a letter dated 11 Dececember 1865 to Father General Mauron, C.SS.R., ordered that Our Lady of Perpetual Succour should be again publicly venerated in Via Merulana, and this time at the new church of Saint Alphonsus. The ruins of San Matteo were in the grounds of the Redemptorist Convent. This was but the first favour of the Holy Father towards the picture. He approved of the solemn translation of the picture (26 April 1866), and its coronation by the Vatican Chapter (23 June 1867). He fixed the feast as duplex secundae classis, on the Sunday before the Feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, and by a decree dated May 1876, approved of a special office and Mass for the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. This favour later on was also granted to others. Learning that the devotion to Our Lady under this title had spread far and wide, Pius IX raised a confraternity of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour and Saint Alphonsus, which had been erected in Rome, to the rank of an arch-confraternity and enriched it with many privileges and indulgences. He was among the first to visit the picture in its new home, and his name is the first in the register of the arch-confraternity.


Two thousand three hundred facsimiles of the Holy Picture have been sent from Saint Alphonsus's church in Rome to every part of the world. At the present day not only altars, but churches and dioceses (e.g. in England, Leeds and Middlesbrough; in the United States, Savannah) are dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour. In some places, as in the United States, the title has been translated Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

அலெக்ஸாண்ட்ரியா நகர தூய சிரில் (ஜூன் 27)

இன்று நாம் நினைவுகூரும் சிரில் எகிப்தில் உள்ள அலெக்ஸாண்ட்ரியா நகரத்தில் 376 ஆம் ஆண்டு பிறந்தார். இவர் தன்னுடைய தொடக்க மற்றும் உயர் கல்வியை தன்னுடைய சொந்த மண்ணிலே கற்றார்.

412 ஆம் ஆண்டு அப்போது அலெக்ஸாண்ட்ரியா நகரின் மறைத்தந்தையாக இருந்த தியோபிலிஸ் இறந்துவிட சிரில் அலெக்ஸாண்ட்ரியா நகரின் மறைத்தந்தையாக, ஆயராகப் பொறுப்பேற்க வேண்டிய சூழ்நிலை ஏற்பட்டது. இதனால் அவர் அப்பொறுப்பினை ஏற்றுக்கொண்டு மிகச் சிறப்பான முறையில் பணிசெய்து வந்தார்.

சிரில் அலெக்ஸாண்ட்ரிய நகர ஆயராக இருந்து பணிசெய்த காலங்களில் திருச்சபை பல்வேறு விதமான தப்பறைக் கொள்கைகளை எதிர்கொள்ளவேண்டிய சூழ்நிலை ஏற்பட்டது. குறிப்பாக கொன்ஸ்டாண்டிநோபில் நகரத்தின் ஆயராக இருந்த நொஸ்டோரியஸ் என்பவர், ‘இயேசு படைக்கப்பட்ட பொருள். அவர் மனித இயல்புடையவர். அவரிடம் இறையியல்பு என்பது இல்லவே இல்லை. ஆகையால் மரியா இயேசுவின் தாய் மட்டுமே, இறைவனின் தாய் அல்ல’ என்று சொல்லி வந்தார். இதனை சிரில் மிகக் கடுமையாக எதிர்த்தார்.


மேலும் நொஸ்டாரியஸ் பரப்பி வந்த இந்த தப்பறைக் கொள்கையை அப்போது திருத்தந்தையாக இருந்த முதலாம் செலஸ்டினின் கவனத்திற்குக் கொண்டு சென்றார். அவர் சிரிலை தன்னுடைய பிரிதிநிதியாக நியமித்து, பிரச்னைக்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைக்க சிரிலை முடுக்கிவிட்டார். அதனால் எபேசு நகரில் 431 ஆம் ஆண்டு பொதுச்சங்கம் கூட்டப்பட்டது. அந்த சங்கத்தில் இருநூறுக்கும் மேற்பட்ட ஆயர்கள் கலந்துகொண்டார்கள். அவர்கள் அனைவரும் சேர்ந்து, இயேசு மனித மற்றும் இறையியல்பினைக் கொண்டவர் என்றும் அதனால் மரியா இறைவனுக்கே தாய் என்று அறிக்கையிட்டனர். இதனால் நொஸ்டோரியஸ் தப்பறைக் கொள்கைக்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைக்கப்பட்டது.


இதன் பிறகு சிரில் அமைதியான வாழ்க்கை வாழத் தொடங்கினார், விவிலியம் தொடர்பாக பல நூல்களை எழுதினர். இப்படிப்பட்டவர் 444 ஆம் ஆண்டு இறையடி சேர்ந்தார். இவருக்கு 1882 ஆம் ஆண்டு அப்போது திருத்தந்தையாக இருந்த பதிமூன்றாம் சிங்கராயர் அவர்களால் மறைவல்லுனர் பட்டம் கொடுக்கப்பட்டது.
