ST WULSINUS, BISHOP

SAINT WULSINUS, BISHOP

St Wulsinus (Vulsinus) is commemorated on January 8, or September 26.

This holy Bishop of Shepton (Schireburnensis), England, was born in London to respected parents and brought up well.

At a young age he entered the monastery St Peter (Westminster), where he soon became abbot.

Since he administered this office well and holy, he was made Bishop of Shepton around the year 940 (according to Mabillon*).

Once in office, he immediately proceeded to staff his episcopal church with Benedictines, and tried with tireless zeal to strengthen his flock in faith and good morals.

He died in 958 (the Bollandists* state 983), with the exclamation of St Stephen on his lips: "I see heaven open and Christ standing at the right hand of God." His crosier and some episcopal robes adorned the cathedral treasure for a long time.

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.

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...
