Saint Blaise

Also known as

Biagio, Blase, Blasius

Profile

Physician. Bishop of Sebaste, Armenia. Lived in a cave on Mount Argeus. Healer of men and animals; according to legend, sick animals would come to him on their own for help, but would never disturb him at prayer.

Agricola, governor of Cappadocia, came to Sebaste to persecute Christians. His huntsmen went into the forests of Argeus to find wild animals for the arena games, and found many waiting outside Blaise's cave. Discovered in prayer, Blaise was arrested, and Agricola tried to get him to recant his faith. While in prison, Blaise ministered to and healed fellow prisoners, including saving a child who was choking on a fish bone; this led to the blessing of throats on Blaise's feast day.

Thrown into a lake to drown, Blaise stood on the surface and invited his persecutors to walk out and prove the power of their gods; they drowned. When he returned to land, he was martyred by being beaten, his flesh torn with wool combs (which led to his association with and patronage of those involved in the wool trade), and then beheading.

Blaise has been extremely popular for centuries in both the Eastern and Western Churches. In 1222 the Council of Oxford prohibited servile labour in England on his feast. He is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers

Saint Marie Rivier

Also known as

• Marinette Rivier
• Anne-Marie Rivier
• Marie-Anne Rivier

Profile

At the age of sixteen months, Marie broke her hip in a fall that left her crippled. Her mother, refusing to give up, carried the child to a local Pieta statue each day to pray. On 8 September 1774, having seen her mother spend hours in prayer, Marie was suddenly able to walk. However, the effects of her early immobility, and the rickets she suffered, stayed with her, and even as an adult she stood only four foot, four inches tall.

At age seventeen Marie tried to join the Sisters of Notre Dame, but was refused due to her poor health, and returned to her parents' home. By age eighteen Marie was devoting herself to evangelization and care for the poor in her home parish. She started her own school in 1786, a place that welcomed the well-off and the impoverished.

When the French Revolution began in 1789, and religious expression was suppressed, Marie held covert Sunday prayer services when there was no priest available to celebrate Mass. In 1794 the government confiscated the Dominican house her school had been using, sold it, and kicked out Marie and her teachers. As they left, the convent's statue of the Virgin Mary smiled at them and moved; the little group took it as a sign, and decided to stay together. When all other convents were being closed, Marie and four like-minded friends opened a new one on 21 November 1796 near Thueyts, Ardeche, France. They became the foundation of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary (White Ladies). The Sisters devoted themselves to teaching and home evangelization, care for orphans and the abandoned, bringing Jesus to anyone who would listen, and in their words "to pass on hope".

By the time of Marie's death, there were 350 Sisters and 114 houses; today there are over 3,000 Sisters working in France, Switzerland, Canada, United States, England, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Mozambique, Japan, Philippines, Senegal-Gambia, Ireland, Peru, Brazil, Cameroon, and Ecuador.

Readings

Either make Jesus Christ known or die! – Saint Marie

So what is the secret of Marie Rivier's zeal? One is struck by her boldness, her tenacity, her expansive joy, her courage. Her life demonstrates well the power of faith in a simple upright soul which surrenders itself entirely to the grace of baptism. She relied on God. – Pope John Paul II, from the beatification homily for Saint Marie

Blessed Helena Stollenwerk

Also known as

• Anna Helena Stollenwerk
• Maria Stollenwerk
• Maria Virgo
• Maria Elena

Additional Memorial

28 November (Roermond, Netherlands)

Profile

Anna grew up in a pious farm family that was always involved in parish life. Feeling a call to religious life in her youth, Anna joined the Society of the Holy Childhood. She was interested in missionary work in China, and wrote about the desire to Saint Arnold Janssen, founder of the Society of the Divine Word who had sent missionaries to China in 1879. Though Saint Arnold had no immediate plans for missionary sisters, he took on Helena to work in the mission kitchen where she met three others with the same calling, doing the same work.

In 1889, to further the missionary work in Argentina, Saint Arnold founded the Sisters-Servants of the Holy Spirit. Helena became one of the first 12 Sisters, joining on 17 January 1892, taking the name Sister Maria, making her profession on 12 March 1894, and is considered their co-founder. She was a natural leader with a sense of responsibility for the mission, treated everyone, including fellow sisters, with motherly care, and became a servant to all.

The Sisters began working in Argentina in 1895, and then in Togo in 1897. In 1896, Saint Arnold founded a cloistered, contemplative branch of the Sisters; in 1898, Helena left the missions for the cloister. She contracted tubercular meningitis in 1899, made her profession as contemplative Sister on 31 January 1900, and died three days later. Her good work continues today as the Order she helped found has nearly 4,000 sisters working in 37 countries.

Our Lady of Suyapa

Also known as

• Nuestra Señora de Suyapa
• Our Lady of the Conception of Suyapa
• The Dear Dark One
• Virgen de Suyapa
• Virgin of Suyapa

Profile

A title and image of the Blessed Virgin Mary popular in Honduras. The statue of this representation is in the Basilica of Suyapa, Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The sculptor and date of creation are unknown, but the statue was found by a farm worker on 3 February 1747. His family kept it as a focus for personal devotion. In 1768 a miraculous healing was attributed to Our Lady from this devotion. A chapel was built for the statue in 1777 to make public devotion possible.

The statue was stolen in 1936 by a mentally ill woman who lived close by; it was located at her home and quickly returned. The quick end of the Football War in 1969 between Honduras and El Savador was attributed to the intercession of Mary following the outpouring of prayers to her under this title. The staute was stolen against on 1 September 1986; the thief stripped it of its gold, silver and jewels, and then abandoned it in a restaurant men's room in Tegucigalpa.

The Orden de los Caballeros de Suyapa (Order of the Knights of Suyapa) is a group of men who care for the statue and its chapel, and guard it full time when it is toured around Honduras each February.

Additional Memorial

Profile

Studied for the priesthood at Douai, France, beginning at age 39. Ordained at Binche, Hainault (in modern Belgium) on 11 June 1576. Two of his four brothers followed him into the priesthood. John returned to England on 7 November 1576 as a missioner to London. Joined the Jesuits at some point; though the date has been lost it was probably close to the time of his arrest.

In November 1577, he performed an exorcism on one of his parishioners; during the ceremony, the person predicted Father John's impending doom. A week later, in the evening of 1 December 1577, John was arrested while at prayers, charged with Catholicism. On 30 January 1578 he managed to celebrate Mass in Newgate prison, apparently with materials that had been smuggled in. Condemned on 1 February 1578 for the treason of Catholic priesthood and refusal to acknowledge the Queen's supremacy in spiritual matters; he was thrown into the pit of the Tower of London for two days, and then excuted. His dying words were "I forgive the queen and all the authors of my death."
