Saints celebrated on the 27th of September

VENERABLE TEOFILO CAMOMOT, BISHOP

Venerable Teofilo Bastida Camomot was born in Cebu, Philippines, on March 3, 1914. Ordained a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Cebu on December 14, 1941, he was eventually appointed an auxiliary bishop on March 23, 1955 and receiving the titular see of Clysma. 

He became coadjutor archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro on June 10, 1958, becoming titular archbishop of Marcianopolis. Venerable Teofilo resigned for health reasons on June 17, 1970, but continued to be very active for the Church. He was killed in a vehicular accident in San Fernando on September 27, 1988 at the age of 74.

HIS DILIGENCE IN HIS PASTORAL DUTIES

Venerable Teofilo's actions spoke louder than words. He was noted for his diligence in his pastoral duties, - spending hours in the confessional - devotion to prayer, - waking up very early for his morning prayers and meditation - as well as his numerous works of charity. 

HIS PERSONAL HOLINESS

His parishioners until now cannot forget his simplicity, his personal holiness, and his apostolic works especially among the poor, the sick, the homeless, and the suffering. His simplicity was attested by so many people even fellow prelates. There were many stories about Venerable Theodilo's Franciscan-like poverty. 

HIS GIFT OF BILOCATION

He was also known for his spiritual gifts of healing, reading hearts, levitation, and bilocation. Cebu archbishop emeritus Ricardo Jamin Vidal said there were several testimonies about Camomot's bilocation or there were people who would see him present in two places at the same time. Affidavits to that effect have been signed, and his case for sainthood is progressing.

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 Mary’s Assumption in 1

ST LAURA OF CORDOBA, WIDOW AND MARTYR - 19 OCTOBER

  WELCOME! SAINT LAURA OF CORDOBA, WIDOW AND MARTYR   Laura, a widow and martyr of Cordoba in Spain, is mentioned in the Spanish martyrology of Tamajode Salazar, who refers to Luitprand, where it says the following: St Laura is said to have been of a noble family, and  according to the wishes of her parents she married an equally noble man and gave birth to two daughters.  After the death of her husband and her daughters, she went to the monastery of St Aurea, named St-Maria de Cuteclara, and after her martyrdom led the same for nine years as her successor.  After she had made wonderful progress in all virtues, she was finally summoned to renounce the faith before a Saracen judge. But since she remained steadfast, she was first beaten very cruelly and then thrown into a bath of boiling pitch, where she remained in praise of God for three hours and then flew to heaven on October 19, 864.   St Laura is of the 48 Martyrs of Cordoba. PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who
