At this Season of the Church's Liturgical Year, when Jesus, by His Triumph, has realised His name of Saviour, The Liturgical Cycle Celebrates The Feast of Saint Bernardine, who was consumed "by the very ardent love of The Divine Name (Jesus)" (Collect).
Born of a noble family of Siena, Italy, Saint Bernardine renounced all his possessions. He kept his Chastity intact, in spite of the dangers to which his handsome features exposed him. The Church applies to him the words of Holy Scripture: "He had it in his power to violate The Commandment of God, and he did not violate it" (Epistle).

"Not placing his hope in money and treasures" (ibid), he left all, to follow Christ (Gospel), and entered The Order of Saint Francis, one of whose glories he is. Travelling through towns and villages, everywhere he Preached the name of Jesus (Collect) and thereby wrought many Miracles.
Saint Peter Celestine [Editor: See yesterday's Feast] appeared to him, to warn him of his approaching end, which came on Ascension Eve, 1444.
Let us ask God to grant us, through the intercession and merits of Saint Bernardine, a great love for the name of Jesus and, thereby, to kindle in us the flame of Divine Charity (Collect).

Macedonia Presents His Holiness Pope Francis With A Beautiful Papal Tiara. Handmade By The Nuns Of Rajcica Monastery.
Illustration: UCATHOLIC
For more than a thousand years, the Papal Tiara was as symbol of the authority of the Papacy. But, when Pope Paul VI left his Tiara on the Altar of Saint Peter’s during the closing of The Second Vatican Council, no Pope has worn the Three-Tiered Crown. However, subsequent Popes have received Tiaras, but have not worn them publicly (or likely at all.)
On 16 May, during an audience with Trajko Veljanoski, The Speaker of The Assembly of The Republic of Macedonia, The Holy Father was presented with a beautifully ornate Tiara, handmade by the Nuns of Rajcica Monastery, with Pearls from Ohrid Lake. Up until this point, Pope Francis had not received a Tiara.
Solemn Pontifical Mass, Celebrated by Pope Saint John XXIII, in Saint Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Rome. Photo probably taken in 1962, at the beginning of The Second Vatican Council. The presence of a lit Paschal Candle in front of the Ambo indicates that The Mass was Celebrated during The Easter Season. Note The Papal Tiaras and the assistance of Eastern Rite Clergy.
Date: 1963 or earlier.

Tiaras are generally received by Popes as gifts from a group of people; for example, Pope Saint John Paul II received a Medieval-Style Tiara on behalf of The People of Hungary.
The Vatican’s Web-Site states that: “The Tiara is a head-dress ending in an Ogive and made of Silver, and, during the time of Pope Boniface VIII (1294 - 1303), two Crowns were on the Tiara, and, from 1314, three Crowns were on the Tiara (the reason it is called "The Triregnum"), topped by a small Globe with a Golden Cross. Among the various interpretations, we shall mention the one that says that The Three Crowns represent The Militant, The Suffering and The Triumphant Church.”

At the death of her father, she distributed all her riches to the Poor, in agreement with her sister, and she was barely sixteen years old when she died, in the Reign of Emperor Antoninus.
Her remains rest in her house, which she had converted into a Church. Her father had received Saint Peter there and she had placed it at the disposal of Pope Pius I, who Celebrated The Holy Mysteries there during "The Persecution".
This is the "Title-Church" of Pudentiana, where The Station is held on the Tuesday in The Third Week of Lent. ["Title-Churches", bearing as Title the name of their Founder or Foundress, were the usual Meeting Places of Christians in Rome, and became the first "Parish Churches".]
