It would be interesting to have a new thread where we can post information about "modern" ie Twentieth Century Saints. Who would like to start it? |

Will try to find some information re. twentieth saints but in the meanwhile we are abundantly blessed today 3rd November with : Saint Martin de Porres. (1639) He was South American, born of a Spanish father and an Indian mother. He became a lay brother in the Dominican Order in Lima, Peru. So great was his holiness that his light shone all through the New World. Saint Malachy O'More. (1148) He was a noble Irish saint who was born at Armagh in the year 1095. He was the Primate of Armagh in his day. Armagh was the first see to be established in Ireland by Saint Patrick. On a pilgrimage he made to Rome, Saint Malachy stopped at the Abbey of Clairvaux, and died in the arms of Saint Bernard, its abbot. Saint Bernard wrote the life of Saint Malachy. Saint Bernard and Saint Malachy were buried in the same grave. Saint Malachy O'More is well known for his famous prophecies concerning the end of the world. Saint Sylvia. (572) Saint Sylvia was the mother of Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Universal Church. She was one of the most beautiful widows Rome has ever known. Saint Gregory's sanctity and intellectual brilliance are in no small way due to t precious mother. A chapel has been built on the Caelian Hill in Rome on the spot where her house was when she lived there. Saint Winifred. (650) She was a niece of Saint Bueno, a bishop of Wales. She was murdered and her head cut off by Caradog of Hawarden who wanted to violate her purity. Thr spot where her head fell on the ground caused the rising of a holy well, called St. Winifred's Well. It stilol pours forth nine and one-half million gallons of water every day, and miracles still occur there. Saint Bueno wrapped Saint Winifred's body and severed head in his cloak, and laid them at the foot of the altar where he was to say Mass. When the Mass was neded, Saint Winifred was restored to life again, with her head rejoined to her body. She is perhaps the greatest glory of Wales. From Saints to Remember from January to December By the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (The one I have has Copyright 1961 in the front and came from America. Does anyone know of a more up to date version?) Josephine |

Nonemebr 16th., Saint margaret of Scotland. before the pedantic wordsmiths plowter on in .yes she was born Hungarian; and yes she was the first canonised saint in Scotland;p the previous ones were made saints by acclamation. And if there are those still whimsically pondering the date- the Church in its " wisdom" changed the date from June 10th.,the November change took place because of literigal reforms in 1872. Albeit I was around in 1972,but this had nothing to do with me. So Folks-remember November 16th., daughter of the English Prince,Edward in Exile and she suaght the protection of the Scpttish King, Malcolm of Canmore the third. She founded several churches and conveded a new Scottish Synod which institutes several reforms. So feminism was on the go after 1066- -ah me sorry I mentioned that date. Tomais in the current windy Capital. PS I amost forgot; od her eight children was one Saint David; Pope Innicent 1V canonised her 1250. Along with much else the Bodlian Library has ther jeweled book of the Gospels; get it back? No comment TWR |

Who would you like for your patron, Rose? Saint Rose of Lima (1617). Saint Rose of Lima in Peru, the patroness of South America and the Phillippines, was the first saint canonised whowas born in the New World. Her great model was Saint Catherine of Siena. Her baptismal name was Isabel, but because of the miraculous rose seen over head one day and because of the beautiful and flower-like charm of her face, she was called Rose. And , her bishop, at her Confirmation, gave her that name. Her full name religiously, was Rose of Saint Mary, a name miraculously given her by Our Blessed Lady one day as she prayed. Saint Rose of Lima was a Dominican of the Third Order. She died when she was only thirty-one years old. Through her intercession a dead person was raised to life. OR Saint Rose of Viterbo (1252). Saint Rose of Viterbo was a little peasant girl who wanted to become a Poor Clare nun, but was not received in any of their convents. She died when she was only eighteen years old. After her death, she was buried in a Poor Clare convent by order of the Pope. She is one of the noted saints who raised a dead person to life. OR (not quite twentieth century but more recent than the above) Blessed Rose Philippine Duchesne (1852). She was a French girl born at Grenoble who became a Visitation nun. After her Order had been violently attacked and dispersed during the French Revolution, under the guidance of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat she incorporated her community into the Madams of the Sacred Heart. Blessed Rose Philippine's great desire was to go and labour in foreign missions. When she was forty-nine years old, she set sail for America. She landeed at New Orleans, and then went north to Saint Charles, not far from Saint Louis, Missouri. She later worked among Indians at Sugar Creek. The Indians called her "the woman who prays always." It is one of the glories of the United States that the body of this saintly nun remains in that country where she died when she was eighty-one. She is buried in Saint Charles, Missouri. Your avatar makes me think of Saint Rose of Lima but the choice is yours, Rose. Josephine |

Ill plump for Blessed Rose Philippine Duchesne. She led a hectic life. Considering the average life expectancy of her era, she lived to a very grand old age. |

Saint Margaret of Scotland Queen and patron of Scotland. Born in 1046, St Margaret was educated mainly in Hungary, where her family were exiled during the rule of the Viking kings in England. As one of the last members of the Anglo Saxon royal family, she was in danger after the Norman Conquest and took refuge at the court of Malcolm II of Scotland. Intelligent, beautiful and devout, she married Malcolm in 1069 and the union was exceptionally happy and fruitful for Scotland. The present royal family can trace their descent to Margaret and her daughter Matilda. Margaret took a keen interest in the country. Through her, the Scottish courts were reformed and the church was revitalised. She founded many monasteries, hostels and churches. Her private life was devoted to prayer, reading, embroidery and lavish almsgiving (including the liberation of slaves). She is said to have had a very civilising effect on her husband who was initially considered a rather rough character. Her biographer wrote: "He saw that Christ truly dwelt in her heart. What she rejected he rejected. What she loved, he for love of her loved too." Malcolm could not read but liked to see the books she used at prayer and would have them embellished with gold and silver binding. One of her books survives in the Bodleian library. Margaret had eight children. Alexander and David became kings of Scotland her daughter Matilda married Henry I of England. She lived just long enough to learn of the tragic death of Malcolm and one of her sons on a military expedition against William Rufus who had confiscated Edgar Atheling's estates. She died at just 47 in 1093. Margaret was buried beside her husband in Dunfermline. Following many miracles, she was canonised in 1250. At the Reformation, both bodies were taken to the Escorial in Madrid. She was named patron of Scotland in 1673. The sky is clear. This is a cold, crisp night. I just had to bear tomais to it |

St. Andrew - Patron Saint of Scotland and Russia. Andrew was St. Peter's brother, and was called with him ''As [Jesus] was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ' Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.' At once they left their nets and followed him. [ Matthew 4; 18-20]. Jonn the Evangelist presents Andrew as a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John said, ''Behold , the Lamb of God.'' Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus. ''Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, 'What are you looking for? ' they said to him, 'Rabbi' [which translated means Teacher], 'where are you staying?. He said to them, ' Come, and you will see'. So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day'' [ John 1: 38-39]. Little else is said about Andrew in the Gospels. Before the multiplication of the loaves, it was Andrew who spoke up about the boy who had barley, loaves and fishes. When the Gentiles went to see Jesus, they came to Philip, but Philip then had recourse to Andrew. Legend has it that Andrew preached the Good News in what is now modern Greece and Turkey and was crucified at Patras. St. Andrew's relics were translated from Patrae to Constantinople and deposited in the Church of the Apostles there, about AD 375 when Constantinople was taken by the French in the beginning of the 13the century. Cardinal Peter of Capau brought the relics to Italy and placed them in the Cathedral of Amalfi, where most of them still remain. St. Andrew is honoured as their chief patron by Russia and Scotland.
