SAINT FEAST DAY 8 JUNE: ST MARIAM THRESIA MANKIDIYAN

SAINT MARIAM THRESIA MANKIDIYAN, FOUNDRESS

June 8 is the feast day of Saint Mariam Thresia Mankidiyan. She was canonised on October 13, 2019 by Pope Francis. St Mariam was born on April 26, 1876 at Trichur, Kerala, India.

A VOW OF CHASTITY

Having made a vow of chastity aged ten, she felt called to religious life. In 1913, she received permission to set up her own house at Puthenchira and on May 14, 1914, she founded the Congregation of the Holy Family. She became the first superior of the order. They led a life of prayer and strict penance, much like hermits. They also visited the sick and helped the poor and needy.

THE CONGREGATION OF THE HOLY FAMILY

In 1926, an object fell on St Mariam's leg, causing a wound. Her injuries continued getting worse, and she was admitted to the local hospital. The doctors deemed her condition to be fatal, and she was moved back to her convent. On June 7, 1926, she received her final sacraments and the Viaticum.

The next day, St Mariam died from her leg wound, exacerbated by her diabetes. Her final words were, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph; I give you my heart and my soul."

ST VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA - 7 JANUARY

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 7th of January WELCOME! SAINT VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA Saint Valentine (Valentinus) is the patron saint of the diocese of Passau. The Proprium of Passau relates his life story as follows: Saint Valentine came from the seashore and arrived at Batava, today's Passau. Here he wanted to proclaim the gospel to the inhabitants, who were ignorant of the true worship of God, and therefore went to Rome to obtain the necessary authority from the Pope for this undertaking. Upon his return, he invested much time and effort to gain those lost souls for Christ, as the Pope expected him to. Valentine himself thirsted for their salvation, incessantly preaching the Divine word to them. After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground. Thus he travelled again to Rome with the request to be sent to another place that had fertile soil. The Pope received him graciously, consecra...
