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 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...

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.
