BL. JOSEF MAYR-NUSSER - 24 FEBRUARY

BLESSED JOSEF MAYR-NUSSER

Blessed Josef Mayr was born on December 27, 1910 at the Nusserhof on Bozen soil. Raised in a religious environment, Mayr-Nusser joined the Catholic Young Men of his diocese (Archdiocese of Trento) and was soon elected their president.

After the option agreement, Mayr-Nusser decided to stay and joined the Andreas-Hofer-Bund, a South Tyrolean resistance group. On May 26, 1942 he married Hildegard Straub (1907-1998) and they had a son, Albert Mayr.

After the invasion of the German Wehrmacht and the establishment of the Alpine foothills operations zone, Mayr-Nusser was drafted into the German military in 1944. After refusing to take the SS oath in Konitz on October 4, 1944 for reasons of conscience, he was sent to the Dachau concentration camp. On the way there, Josef Mayr-Nusser died on February 24, 1945 in a cattle car near Erlangen as a result of imprisonment and starvation. He was beatified in 2017.

PRAYER:

May the intercession of Blessed Josef commend us to you, so that through his merits we may obtain that which we cannot accomplish by our own. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

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...

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,...
