SAINT JUVENTIUS, MARTYR - 1 JUNE

SAINT JUVENTIUS, MARTYR

Saint Juventius is a Roman martyr whose relics were transferred from Rome to France. Two Benedictine monasteries in France bear the name Chaise-Dieu (Casa Dei), one near Auvergne for men, the other a nunnery between Paris and Rouen. The institute for women belongs to the Diocese of Evreux.

In 1667 the latter received from Rome the mortal remains of Saint Juventius, Martyr, which had been taken from the catacombs, as well as the relics of Saint Parthenius. The transfer was undertaken by the Bishop of Evreux, Henri de Maupas du Tour; the sacred remains arrived from the eternal city with papal certificates and were solemnly installed at the monastery church there, whereupon many extraordinary healings and answers to prayers soon began to take place. (I. 45).

FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. 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.

At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder.

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

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...
