The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.

The Devotion to The Sacred Heart (also known as The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, “Sacratissimum Cor Iesu”, in Latin) is one of the most widely-practised and well-known Catholic Devotions, wherein The Sacred Heart of Jesus is viewed as a symbol of “God's boundless and passionate love for mankind”.[1]

This Devotion is predominantly used in The Catholic Church, followed by High-Church AnglicansLutherans, and some Western Rite Orthodox. In The Latin Church, the Liturgical Solemnities of The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus are Celebrated on The First Friday after Corpus Christi, or nineteen days after Pentecost Sunday.[2] The twelve Promises of The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus are also devoutly remembered and followed.

The Devotion is especially concerned with what The Church teaches
to be the long-suffering love and compassion of The Most Sacred Heart of Christ towards humanity.

The popularisation of this Devotion, in its modern form, is
derived from a Roman Catholic Nun from France, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, who said she learned the Devotion from Jesus during a series of Apparitions between 1673 and 1675,[3] and, later, in the 19th-Century, from the mystical revelations of another Catholic Nun, in Portugal, Blessed Mary of The Divine Heart Droste zu Vischering, a Religious of The Good Shepherd, who requested, In The Name Of Christ, that Pope Leo XIII Consecrate the entire World to The Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Predecessors to the modern Devotion arose unmistakably in
The Middle Ages in various facets of Catholic mysticism, particularly
with Saint Gertrude the Great.[4]

Saint Irenæus. Bishop And Martyr. Feast Day, Today, 28 June.

(Wikipedia)

Towards the end of the Second Century A.D., when Gnostic Sects endeavoured to undermine the basis of The Christian Religion, God raised up Saint Irenæus to oppose them. "He granted him the Grace to destroy the Heresies by the Truth of his doctrine" (Collect).

Succeeding Saint Pothinus in the See of Lyons, in 177 A.D., Saint Irenæus "Preached in Season and out of Season", as Saint Paul prescribes (Epistle) and constituted himself defender of Christ (Gospel) and of His Spouse.

"The Church", he declares, "disseminated throughout the World, to the extremities of the Earth, professes The Faith she has received from The Apostles, who themselves received it from The Son of God." This Church has its centre at Rome. "With her, every Church must be in agreement because of her primacy; for, through the succession of Roman Pontiffs, the Apostolic Tradition of The Church has come down to us."

An ardent apologist, Saint Irenæus was also a profound Theologian. He has been called the Father of the Catholic Theology and the golden link binding the spirit of the Gospel to the Doctrine of The Fathers. With his ears still full of the last echoes of Apostolic Teaching (Alleluia), he was the first to write a reasoned summary of our Faith. His Treatise "False Doctrine Unmasked and Refuted", also called "Against Heresies", gave the death blow to the Gnostic Heresy.

Saint Jerome gives him the glorious title of Martyr. He died, as is believed, during The Persecution of Emperor Septimus Severus in 202 A.D. Pope Benedict XV extended his Feast to the Universal Church.

Saint John the Baptist.
Illustration: PINTEREST


The Church, honouring The Saints in proportion to the part they played in The Mystery of The Incarnation of The Word, gives to Saint John the Baptist a special place.

[Editor: The Rubrics which accompany The Papal Bull “Divino Afflatu”, of Pope Saint Pius X, establish the following order among The Feast Days: “The Feasts of The Lord; of The Blessed Virgin Mary; of The Angels; of Saint John the Baptist; of Saint Joseph; of The Holy Apostles.”]

Each day in The Mass, as well as The Confiteor, at “The Suscipe” and at “The Nobis Quoque Peccatoribus”, the name of Saint John the Baptist precedes that of The Apostles.


It is the same in The Litany of The Saints. His Feast Day immediately precedes that of The Apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul. By ending the Mission of The Prophets and commencing that of The Apostles, he is the link between The Old Testament and The New Testament.

Let us, also, give to Saint John the Baptist the place of honour which is due to him in our Veneration of The Saints. The Veneration must, indeed, be hierarchically ordered so that we may never forget that Jesus is the principal author of our Redemption, and that The Saints are, more or less, great as they are more or less united to Him as secondary instruments.

The Feast of The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist falls in the Season when The Cycle shows us that The Church, which, as this Saint foretold, was born in The Baptism of The Holy Ghost and of fire at Pentecost, and goes on continually developing herself. It is, indeed, to The Holy Precursor that she owes it to have known Jesus, The Spouse that makes her the fruitful mother of many Souls.


As with the Jews, a friend was the intermediary between the bride and the spouse and prepared the wedding-feast. Saint John the Baptist is called, in the Gospel, "the friend of The Spouse". It is he whom God has chosen to prepare for The Lord, by his Preaching and Baptism of Penance, a perfect people.

And, after having adorned the bride, he presents The Spouse to her. "John was the man sent as a witness, so that, through him, all should believe in Jesus."

Jesus comes to him in the waters of The Jordan and, at this Divine Contact, the water acquired the Virtue which, in Baptism, causes our Souls to be born to supernatural life. As Saint John the Baptist Baptises Christ in The Jordan, he hears the voice of The Father proclaiming that Jesus is His well-beloved Son. He sees The Holy Ghost hovering over Him in the form of a Dove and he reveals that Jesus is "The Lamb of God".


Let us remember that, after having Baptised The Master, the one who is called John the Baptiser has also presided over our own Christening, for all The Baptistries (particularly that of Saint John Lateran, in Rome) are Dedicated to him, and his image is to be used for the adornment of Baptismal Fonts.

Having thus been brought by him to Jesus, let us also, through Saint John the Baptist, approach The Eucharist, reciting the words of the Agnus Dei, by which he indicated The Saviour.

Mass: As on The Feast Day.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (reporting mark CBQ) was a Railroad that operated in the Mid-Western United States. Commonly referred to as The Burlington Route, The Burlington, or  The Q,[1][2] it operated extensive trackage in the States of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and also in New Mexico and Texas through subsidiaries Colorado and Southern Railway, Fort Worth and Denver Railway, and Burlington-Rock Island Railroad.

Its primary connections included Chicago, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Denver. Because of this extensive trackage in the Mid-West and Mountain States, the Railroad used the advertising slogans "Everywhere West", "Way of The Zephyrs", and "The Way West".

The two brothers, John and Paul, were Romans and in the service of Constantia, daughter of Emperor Constantine. Julian the Apostate, having invited them to be among his familiar friends, they refused, so as to remain faithful to Jesus.

Ten days were allowed for them to deliberate, and they used them in distributing all they possessed to the Poor. They were then arrested and "without fearing those who can only kill the body, and beyond that can do nothing more" (Gospel), they became, in 362 A.D., brothers more than ever, by the same Faith and the same Martyrdom (Collect, Gradual, Alleluia).

The Church compares them "to the two olive-trees and to the two candle-sticks, mentioned in The Apocalypse, which shine before The Lord." [Response at Matins.]

"These Just Men," she [Editor: The Church] adds, "have stood before The Lord and have not been separated from one another." [Antiphon at The Magnificat.] Wherefore, both their names, mentioned in The Canon of The Mass (First List), pass on from generation to generation, while their bodies rest in peace (Epistle) in the ancient Church erected in their honour on Mount Coelius at Rome. It is there that The Station is held on The Friday after Ash Wednesday.

Let us enjoy today, with The Church, the double triumph of Saints John and Paul (Collect) and let us, like them, courageously confess Jesus before Men, so that He may recognise us for His own before His Angels (Gospel).

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.

John and Paul were Saints in The Roman Empire. They were Martyred at Rome on 26 June. They should not be confused with the famous Apostles of the same names (see Saint Paul; Saint John the Apostle). The year of their Martyrdom is uncertain according to their Acts; it occurred under Julian the Apostate (361 A.D. – 363 A.D.).

In the second half of the 4th-Century A.D., Byzantius, the Roman Senator, and Saint Pammachius, his son, fashioned their house on The Cælian Hill into a Christian Basilica. In the 5th-Century A.D., the Presbyteri Tituli Byzantii (Priests of The Church of Byzantius) are mentioned in an Inscription and among the signatures of The Roman Council of 499 A.D. The Church was also called the Titulus Pammachii, after Byzantius's son, the pious friend of Saint Jerome.

In the ancient apartments on the ground-floor of the house of Byzantius, which were still retained under the Basilica, the tomb of two Roman Martyrs, John and Paul, was the object of Veneration as early as the 5th-Century A.D.

The Sacramentarium Leonianum already indicates, in the Preface to The Feast of the Saints, that they rested within the City walls ("Sacr. Leon.", ed. Feltoe, Cambridge, 1896, 34), while, in one of the early itineraries to the tombs of The Roman Martyrs, their grave is assigned to the Church on The Cælian (De rossi, "Roma sotterrania", I, 138, 175).

The Titulus Byzantii, or Pammachii, was consequently known at a very early date by the names of the two Martyrs (Titulus SS. Joannis et Pauli). That the two Saints are Martyrs of The Roman Church is historically certain; as to how and when their bodies found a resting-place in the house of Pammachius, under the Basilica, we only know that it certainly occurred in the 4th-Century A.D. The year and circumstances of their Martyrdom are likewise unknown.

According to their Acts, the Martyrs were eunuchs of Constantina, daughter of Constantine the Great, and became acquainted with a certain Gallicanus, who built a Church in Ostia. At the command of Julian the Apostate, they were beheaded secretly by Terentianus in their house on The Caelian Hill, where their Church was subsequently erected, and where they were buried.

The rooms on the ground-floor, of the above-mentioned house of Pammachius, were rediscovered under the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome. They are decorated with important and interesting frescoes, while the original tomb (“Confessio”) of Saints John and Paul is covered with paintings, of which the Martyrs are the subject. The rooms and the tomb form one of the most important Early-Christian Memorials in Rome.

Since the erection of the Basilica, the two Saints have been greatly Venerated, and their names have been inserted in The Canon of The Mass. Their Feast Day is kept on 26 June.

The Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, in Rome, is Dedicated to them, as well as the Basilica di San Zanipolo in Venice ("Zanipolo" being Venetian for "John and Paul").

The Lüeneberg Manuscript (circa 1440–1450) mentions "The Day of John and Paul" in an early German account of The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

A small village next to Caiazzo, in the Campania Region of Italy, is named Santi Giovanni e Paolo, in honour of these Martyrs. Many residents of this village bear the family name "San Giovanni," as do the descendants of immigrants to The United States from this village (in particular, in Michigan, New York, and Florida).

(“I Devoutly Adore You”).
Available on YouTube at

Adoro te devote, latens deitas,
Quæ sub his figuris vere latitas;
Tibi se cor meum totum subjicit,
Quia te contemplans totum deficit.

Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur,
Sed auditu solo tuto creditur.
Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius;
Nil hoc verbo Veritátis[5] verius.

In Cruce[5] latebat sola Deitas,
At hic latet simul et Humanitas,
Ambo tamen credens atque confitens,
Peto quod petivit latro pœnitens.


Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor:
Deum tamen meum te confiteor.
Fac me tibi semper magis credere,
In te spem habere, te diligere.

O memoriale mortis Domini,
Panis vivus, vitam præstans homini,
Præsta meæ menti de te vívere,
Et te illi semper dulce sapere.

Pie Pelicane, Jesu Domine,
Me immundum munda tuo Sanguine[5] :
Cujus una stilla salvum facere
Totum mundum quit ab omni scelere.

Jesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio,
Oro, fiat illud quod tam sitio:
Ut te revelata cernens facie,
Visu sim beátus tuæ gloriæ.

Amen.

“Adoro Te Devote” is a Eucharistic Hymn, written by Thomas Aquinas.[1] 

“Adoro Te Devote” is one of the five Eucharistic Hymns which were composed and set to music for The Solemnity of Corpus Christi, instituted in 1264 by Pope Urban IV as a Solemnity for the entire Roman Catholic Church.

Since the beginning of its composition and it being set to music, “Adoro Te Devote” was chanted as a Eucharistic Hymn during The Divine Holy Mass “in honorem SS. Sacramenti” (“in honour of The Most Blessed Sacrament”), as it was written in the Latin Manuscripts. It is also chanted for Eucharistic Adoration.


The authorship of the Hymn, by Saint Thomas Aquinas, was previously doubted by some scholars.[2] More recent scholarship has put such doubts to rest.[3] Aquinas seems to have used it also as a Private Prayer, for a daily Adoration of The Blessed Sacrament.[4]

“Adoro Te Devote” is one of the Mediæval poetic compositions, being used as spoken Prayers and also as chanted Hymns, which were preserved in The Roman Missal, published in 1570, following The Council of Trent (1545–1563).

The Hymn is still sung today, though its use is optional in the Post-Vatican II Ordinary Form [Editor: Why “optional” and not “de rigueur” ? Modernism at its best ?]

Like Moses, to whom God gave His Law on the mountain (Epistle), under the guidance of Heaven, he gave to the Congregation of Hermits, whose father he became (Communion), a Rule, inspired, in a great measure, by that of Saint Benedict.

His holy life was entirely spent in the meditation of Divine things (Introit), and became renowned by his numerous Miracles.

After having foretold the moment of his death, he fell asleep in The Lord in 1142, and in Heaven his brow was encircled with "the Crown of Precious Stones" (Gradual, Offertory), the symbol of his virtues.

Let us walk in the footsteps of Saint William, with the help of his Prayers (Collect).

English: The Abbey of San Guglielmo al Goleto, in what is now Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, Italy, was Founded by Saint William of Vercelli in 1114. It was started as a female Cloister, with a small attached Monastery for the spiritual guidance and economic assistance of the Nuns.

The period 1135-1515 was known as The "Age of the Nuns." The Cloister became wealthy from 1135 to 1348 until The Black Death struck and the Cloister began to decline. On 24 January 1506, Pope Julius II declared that, upon the death of the last Abbess, the Cloister would be closed, which occurred in 1515.

The “Age of The Nuns” was followed by the “Epoch of The Monks” from 1515 to 1807. When the Cloister closed in 1515, the Monastery merged with that on Montevergine and began to grow. Pope Sixtus V, who was also Superior of The Franciscan Convent of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, accelerated this growth. The Monastery reached its peak between the 17th- and 18th-Centuries.

In 1807, The King of Naples, Joseph Bonaparte, ordered the Abbey closed. Saint William's body was moved to Montevergine and the furnishings of the Abbey were looted. The Abbey remained abandoned until 1973, when a Monk of Montevergine, Lucio M. De Marino, obtained permission to relocate to Goleto, re-occupying the Abbey and beginning its restoration. In 1989, the Abbey was entrusted to The Little Brothers of Jesus

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.

Saint William of Montevergine, or, Saint William of Vercelli, (Italian Guglielmo) (Latin Gulielmus) (1085 – 25 June 1142) was a Catholic Hermit and the Founder of The Congregation of Monte Vergine, or, "Williamites".

He was born into a noble family of Vercelli, in North-West Italy, and brought up by a relation after the death of his parents. He undertook a Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Catholic Tradition states that, on his Pilgrimage to Compostela, William encircled his body with iron bands to increase his suffering.

He then lived as a Hermit on the summit of Monte Vergine (then known as Monte Vergiliana), between Nola [Editor: See Saint Paulinus of Nola - Feast Day two days ago, 22 June] and Benevento. Here, he attracted a number of followers and founded the Monastery of Montevergine.


While at Montevergine, William of Vercelli is stated as having performed Miracles. King Roger I of Sicily served as a Patron to William, who Founded many Monasteries for men and women in Sicily. The Catholic Encyclopedia states that King Roger I built a Monastery opposite his Palace at Salerno, Italy, in order to have William always near him.

Saint William died at Goleto, a Daughter House of Montevergine, near Nusco, Province of Avellino. Catholic Tradition states that William foresaw his own imminent death “by special revelation”
