ST BERNARDINO REALINO, PRIEST - 30 JUNE

SAINT BERNARDINO REALINO, PRIEST

Bernardinus Realini [Bernardino Realino] (June 30, July 2), of the Society of Jesus, was born in Carpi in Lombardy on December 1, 1530, and entered the Society of Jesus in Naples on October 13, 1564, which he glorified through his virtues. He died on July 2, 1616, in Lecce, where he spent the last 42 years of his earthly life. On July 31, 1828, Pope Leo XII declared the heroic nature of his virtues, and the process of his beatification is now pending in Rome. [The above text was originally written in the mid-19th century. Bernardine Realino's beatification took place in 1896 (Pope Leo XIII), and Pope Pius XII canonized him on June 22, 1947.]

His feast day is listed as June 30 by the Elenchus*/Bollandists*.

BLESSED LUKE KIRBY, PRIEST AND MARTYR 16th century houses, painted by Auguste Mayer He was born in the bishopric of Durham, according to Raissius ; others say at Richmond, in Yorkshire. He was master of arts in one of our universities; but going abroad to Douay, in Flanders, was received into the English college there, 1576, and made priest in 1577; and the year following sent upon the mission.

From thence he was sent upon the English mission, and behaved himself in such a manner as justly to acquire the character of a laborious missionary; being withal remarkably successful in bringing home many strayed sheep to the fold of Christ, to which his apostolical way of living did not a little contribute. He was several times apprehended and cast into prison, and twice banished. His name occurs amongst those who were transported in 1606; at which time, we are told, he took that opportunity of making a pilgrimage to Rome, there to pour forth his prayers at the tombs of the apostles, in behalf of thi...
