Born at Montepulciano, Italy, died in Rome. Proclaimed Doctor of The Church on 15 August 1931.
Successively, Professor of Theology and Preacher at Louvain (1569 - 1576), Director of the Course of Controversy in Rome, where Saint Aloysius Gonzaga was his Penitent, Provincial of The Jesuits at Naples, sent by Pope Sixtus V on a Diplomatic Mission to France, Bellarmine was raised to the Cardinalate in spite of his unwillingness in 1599.
Pope Clement VIII alleged as motive for this promotion that his (Editor: Bellarmine's) equal in learning was not at that time to be found in The Church.

Apart from the three years he spent in Capua as its Archbishop, he passed his life in Rome, where he rendered signal services to Pope Clement VIII, Pope Paul V, and Pope Gregory XV.
By his controversial books, he dealt formidable blows to Protestantism, while, by his Catechism, translated into forty languages, he spread the knowledge of Christian Doctrine in all Countries of the World.
As a Religious, he shone by his Angelic purity, humility, and obedience, and, as Bishop, he was a model of watchful care and Charity to the Poor.
Towards the end of his life, he obtained leave of the Pope to retire to the Noviciate of Saint Andrew, the cradle of his Religious Life, where he prepared for a happy and holy death.

Nereus and Achilleus, Officers of the household of Flavia Domitilla, a niece of the Emperors Titus and Domitian, were Baptised by Saint Peter. The Gospel praises their Faith when it praises that of the Officer who obtained the cure of his son and believed in Jesus.
These Saints, having inspired Domitilla with the resolution to consecrate her Virginity to God, Aurelianus, her betrothed, accused them, all three, of being Christians. Out of hatred for Christ, they were put to death under the Emperor Trajan, at Terracina, about 100 A.D.
Their bodies rest in Rome in the Church of Saints Nereus and Achilleus. This Church was Stational on Monday in Holy Week, but the bad state of the building caused the Station to be transferred to Saint Praxedes's in the 13th-Century. Saints Nereus and Achilleus Church was restored in the 16th-Century.
Saint Pancras was arrested in Rome at the age of fourteen and put to death towards 275 A.D., under Emperor Diocletian, for having refused to sacrifice to the Roman Gods. His constancy earned him a place among The Saints, whose joy he shares (Epistle, Communion).

Bendix, Hoffman, Stout Prototypes Lead
Portland Museum’s Streamliners Exhibit.
The advent of Streamlining not only enabled Car Designers to radically experiment with both the style and substance of the automobile, it practically encouraged them to "go nuts". Fitting, then, that three of the most experimental takes on the automobile’s form from that period will highlight an upcoming exhibition of the Streamlining Era’s most provocative Cars.
While the format and the location of The Portland Art Museum’s “The Shape of Speed: Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930-1942” resembles prior autos-in-art-museum exhibits curated by renowned automotive journalist Ken Gross, Gross said the Streamlining Theme is brand new. “This is a substantially different show in terms of Cars,” he said. “It’s fun to change ‘em up.”
As David Rand wrote in the exhibition catalogue, Streamlined and Aerodynamic Cars aren’t necessarily one and the same: “While (Streamlined) Cars embraced the appearance of aerodynamics, in most cases there was little reality behind this effort, despite there having been attempts to optimize vehicle aerodynamics going back to the beginning of the Century.” Among those earliest attempts to cheat the wind were racing machines designed to break the land-speed record, Barney Oldfield’s Golden Submarine, Edmund Rumpler’s Tropfenwagen, and Paul Jaray’s patented designs.
Streamlining as a matter of aesthetics, however, came on strong by the early 1930s as industrial designers rose to prominence and as automakers began to pay more attention to the automobile’s form rather than just its function. GM’s recently established Art and Colour design department showcased the Cadillac Aerodynamic Coupe at the 1933 Century of Progress in Chicago, Pierce-Arrow debuted the Silver Arrow at the same time, Chrysler introduced the Airflow a year later, and Ford’s consideration of John Tjaarda’s rear-engine Briggs prototype from the first part of the decade later led to the sleek Lincoln Zephyr. Over in Europe, Hans Ledwinka adopted Jaray’s patents when designing the 1934 Tatra T77.
Against that background, and unbound by traditional notions of automobile construction, three independent designers – Alfred Ney, Rod Hoffman, and William Bushnell Stout – set out to essentially reinvent the automobile.

It is in the Basilica of Saint Peter's, Rome, Dedicated to one of the chief witnesses of Our Lord's Ascension, that this Mystery, which marks the end of Our Lord's Earthly Life, is "this day" (Collect) kept.
In the forty days, which followed His Resurrection, Our Redeemer laid the foundations of His Church, to which He was going to send The Holy Ghost.

All The Master's teachings are summed up in the Epistle and Gospel for today. Then, He left this Earth and the Introit, Collect, Epistle, Alleluia, Gospel, Offertory, Secret, Preface and Communion, celebrate His Glorious Ascension into Heaven, where the Souls He had freed from Limbo escort Him (Alleluia), and enter in His train into The Heavenly Kingdom, where they share more fully in His Divinity.
The Ascension sets before us the duty of raising our hearts to God. So, in the Collect, we are led to ask that we may dwell with Christ in Spirit in The Heavenly Realms, where we are called one day to dwell in our Risen Bodies.
During The Octave, the Credo is said: "I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God . . . Who ascended into Heaven . . . He sitteth at The Right-Hand of The Father". The Gloria speaks in the same sense: "O, Lord Jesus Christ, The Only-Begotten Son . . . Who sittest at The Right-Hand of The Father, have mercy upon us."
The Gloria at The Ascension Day Latin Mass,
at The Institute of Saint Philipp Neri, Berlin, Germany.

In the Proper Preface, which is said until Pentecost, we give thanks to God because His Son, The Risen Christ, "after His Resurrection, appeared and showed Himself to all His Disciples; and, while they beheld Him, was lifted up into Heaven".
In the same way, during the whole Octave, a Proper Communicantes of The Feast is said, in which The Church reminds us that she is keeping the day on which The Only-Begotten Son of God set at The Right-Hand of His Glory the substance of our frail human nature, to which He had united Himself in The Mystery of The Incarnation.

We are reminded daily in The Liturgy, at the Offertory Suscipe Sancta Trinitas, and in the Canon Unde et memores, that, at Our Lord's command, The Holy Sacrifice is being offered in memory of "The Blessed Passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord," and also His Resurrection from Hell and His Glorious Ascension into Heaven.
The truth is that man is saved only by The Mysteries of The Passion and Resurrection united with that of The Ascension. "Through Thy Death and Burial, through Thy Holy Resurrection, through Thy Admirable Ascension, deliver us, O Lord" (Litany of The Saints).
The Credo at The Ascension Day Latin Mass,
at The Institute of Saint Philipp Neri, Berlin, Germany.
Available on YouTube at
Let us offer The Divine Sacrifice to God in memory of The Glorious Ascension of His Son (Suscipe, Unde et memores); while we nourish within our Souls an ardent desire for Heaven, that "delivered from present dangers," we may "attain to Eternal Life" (Secret).
Every Parish Priest Celebrates Mass for the people of his Parish.
