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.

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 BERTHA OF AVENAY, ABBESS AND MARTYR - 1 MAY

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 1st of May WELCOME!

Saint Bertha, a martyr and abbess of Avenay (Aveniacum) in the diocese of Rheims, was descended from a noble family. Married to St Gumbert (April 29), she obtained her husband's consent to join the monastic life. She then built the aforementioned monastery of Avenay. Following an apparition of the Blessed Virgin, she received many nuns there. Once, when Bertha was silently praying for water for her monastery, St Peter appeared to her and showed her a place where there was a spring, which then began to flow into the monastery in a running stream (ex quo fonte mox rivus egressus secutus est eam ad coenobium remeantem). Finally, towards the end of the 7th century, she was killed by her stepsons - for what reason is not specified, perhaps in ...
