ANNE DE GUIGNÉ - 14 JANUARY

Saints celebrated on the 14th of January

VENERABLE ANNE DE GUIGNÉ

Anne de Guigné, born April 25, 1911, was the oldest of four children of a wealthy family. When her father was killed in action during the First World War, she had a deep conversion.

A DEEP CONVERSION

The rest of her life was filled with the peace that comes from great happiness caused by her love of God, which as she grew older, spread to an ever-widening circle of people.

SHE LIVED, PRAYED, AND SUFFERED FOR OTHERS

She lived, prayed, and suffered for others. At an early age, she suffered from rheumatism and so knew what suffering meant. She would immediately offer it, saying: “Jesus, I offer it to you” or “Oh no, I am not suffering, I am learning how to suffer”.

"... AND MAY ALL THE OTHER SICK PEOPLE RECOVER"

In December 1921 she contracted a cerebral disease, probably meningitis, which forced her to take to her bed. She repeated continuously: “Oh God, thy will be done!” When prayers were being said for her recovery, she would add “... and may all the other sick people recover!” Anne de Guigné died on January 14, 1922.

"THIS LITTLE GIRL IS A SAINT"

“This little girl is a saint” was the general verdict. Testimonies started pouring in, articles appeared in the press and in 1932, the Bishop of Annecy started the beatification procedures. On March 3, 1990, Anne de Guigné was declared venerable.

FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus. And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright. HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight. GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mar...
