EPIPHANIUS A SS. TRINITATE, RELIGIOUS

In A.D. 1699, Epiphanius was born at Sanzeno in the Nonstal in Tyrol. His pious mother's name was Elisabeth, his godly father was Georg Gentili, and he was baptised Joseph.

After a simple upbringing and a promising education, he went to study in Innsbruck at the age of twelve; but the world did not please him, and after having read the books of Saint Teresa of Avila he went back to Trento and asked his good parents for permission to enter the Order of the Discalced Carmelites. There he received the new name Epiphanius a SS. Trinitate. After his vows, he studied philosophy and theology, and then taught philosophy in Caprarola.

Once a storm that lasted several days devastated fields and buildings. Epiphanius spoke publicly in sermons about the necessity of atonement for vices, and announced that a three-day sermon prayer would take place. Many people gathered in the church, and after three days the storm died down and calm was restored. Everyone agreed that Epiphanius had received this grace of calming the storm from God, which is why the people became devoted to him. He died on March 18, 1729 at the age of 30, and many miracles are said to have been performed through his intercession. (Em.)

ST BERTHA OF AVENAY, ABBESS AND MARTYR - 1 MAY

ST BERTHA OF AVENAY, ABBESS AND MARTYR The name Bertha (Berta) is derived from the Old German bercht, brecht, bert etc., meaning shiny, splendid. 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).
