- St Elizabeth
St. Elizabeth was the cousin of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the wife of Zachariah, and the mother of St. John the Baptist. In St. Luke’s Gospel, she is depicted with Mary at the Visitation, where Mary recited the Magnificat. A descendant of Aaron (Luke1:5), Elizabeth, with Zachariah, lived around Jerusalem. When the Virgin Mary came to her door, Elizabeth was made aware of the presence of Christ in the womb. Owing to the fact that she was possessed of the fullness of Old Testament piety, she was herself graced with a son even though she was seemingly long past the age of being able to conceive.

Owing to the fact that she was possessed of the fullness of Old Testament piety, she was herself graced with a son even though she was seemingly long past the age of being able to conceive. Luke 1:39-80 Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. And she cried out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.” And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. “For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed. “For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name. “And His mercy is upon generation after generation toward those who fear Him. “He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart. “He has brought down rulers from their thrones, And has exalted those who were humble. “He has filled the hungry with good things; And sent away the rich empty-handed. “He has given help to Israel His servant, In remembrance of His mercy, As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and his descendants forever.” And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home. Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had displayed His great mercy toward her; and they were rejoicing with her And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zacharias, after his father. But his mother answered and said, “No indeed; but he shall be called John.” And they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.” And they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called. And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, “His name is John.” And they were all astonished. And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak in praise of God. Fear came on all those living around them; and all these matters were being talked about in all the hill country of Judea. All who heard them kept them in mind, saying, “What then will this child turn out to be?” For the hand of the Lord was certainly with him. And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people, And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of David His servant— As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old—Salvation from our enemies, And from the hand of all who hate us; To show mercy toward our fathers, And to remember His holy covenant, The oath which He swore to Abraham our father, To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days. “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; For you will go on before the Lord to prepare His ways; To give to His people the knowledge of salvation By the forgiveness of their sins, Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us, To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace.” And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

- St Charles Borromeo
St. Charles Borromeo, born in 1538 to a noble family in Arona, Italy, was the nephew of Pope Pius IV. A brilliant scholar, he became a cardinal and papal secretary of state at a young age, playing a major role in the Catholic Reformation and the Council of Trent. As Archbishop of Milan, he reformed clergy, founded seminaries, and served the poor. He heroically cared for plague victims in 1576, risking his life daily. Wounded by an assassin and undeterred, he remained faithful to his mission. He died in 1584, remembered as a courageous and selfless shepherd. St. Charles Borromeo Time Period: 1538-1584 Feast Day: November 4 Title/Attributes: Bishop and Cardinal, Confessor Location of Relic: Back Right Reliquary - Right Section Type of Relic: From the Cassock St. Charles Borromeo was a Cardinal and one of the towering figures of the Catholic Reformation. He was born on October 2, 1538, the son of Count Gilbert Borromeo and Margaret de Medici, the sister of Pope Pius IV. The castle of his family was called Arona and was located on Lake Maggiore, in Italy. At the age of twelve, Charles was sent to the Benedictines of Arona for his education, having received the clerical tonsure. He studied in Milan and Paris, receiving his doctorate in civil and canon law in 1559. The following year he was named secretary of state by his uncle, Pope Pius IV, who also appointed him a cardinal and administrator of Milan. Charles served as a papal diplomat and urged Pius IV to reconvene the Council of Trent, which had been suspended in 1552. He played a leading role in the council, directing the writing of decrees and taking part in its deliberations. His father died about that time, and Charles refused to assume the titles of his family. He was ordained a priest in 1563 and made bishop of Milan. He delayed going to his new see until the catechism, breviary, and missal called for by the Council of Trent were completed. Finally reaching Milan in 1566, Charles reformed the diocese in every capacity, aided the English College in Douai, France, and held six provincial councils and six diocesan synods. In 1578, he founded the Oblates of St. Ambrose, now called the Oblates of St. Charles. In 1559, Charles was wounded by an assassin, Jerome Donati Farina, one of the many enemies of Charles’ rigorous reforms. The following year a famine struck the region, and he fed three thousand men, women, and children every day for three months. In 1576, he mobilized resources to aid Milan during a plague. The clergy and religious joined him as he went through the streets, caring for the stricken (the local government officials had fled the city). For almost a year, Charles cared for plague victims, going into debt to buy the necessities for the suffering. A vision informed him of the plague’s end. In 1580, he aided the English priests going back to the British Isles, and in 1583 he served as apostolic visitor to Switzerland. He died on the night of November 3, 1584 in Milan.

- St Paul of the Cross
Saint Paul of the Cross, a mystic and founder of the Passionists, was born in 1694 in Italy. From a young age, he felt a burning desire to devote his life to God. Paul endured spiritual trials and temptations, but through fervent prayer and austere penance, he found solace in the Passion of Christ. In 1720, he founded the Passionist Congregation, dedicated to preaching the love and mercy of Jesus Crucified. Paul’s deep contemplation of the Cross inspired profound conversions and miraculous healings. His unwavering faith and zeal for souls led to his canonization, leaving an enduring legacy of devotion to the suffering Christ. His feast day is October 20th. St. Paul of the Cross Time Period: 1694-1775 Feast Day: October 20 Title/Attributes: Confessor, Founder Location of Relic: Back Left Reliquary - Right Section Type of Relic: Body Paolo Francesco Danei was born in Ovada, a small town in the Alessandria area, in Piedmont, and was the first of 16 children who brightened the home of a family of noble origins, but in economic difficulty. From an early age he showed a great interest in religion and a very solid faith, nourished by daily participation in Mass, frequenting the Sacraments and the continuous practice of prayer, but to help the family he began to work with his father. His vocation, however, took him elsewhere. In 1713 something happened in the life of Paolo Francesco and he decided to live as a hermit monk, even though he did not belong to any Order. At the age of 26, the bishop allowed him to settle in a cell behind the church of Castellazzo Bormida. Here he developed the idea of ??founding a new Congregation, called the Poor of Jesus. Inside the cell, for over a year, he committed himself to writing the Rule which would be inspired by love for the Cross. This, in fact, would be the typical spirituality of the religious men that Paolo would guide: in an era of weak faith, embracing the most unpopular choice, the one that passes through the cross and sacrifice. He began to call himself "Brother Paolo of the Cross" and to help the poor and sick in whom he was able to contemplate the face of Jesus crucified. Finally in 1727 Benedict XIII authorized Paul to gather around him some companions to help him. The first was his blood brother, John the Baptist: the two were ordained priests in the same year. Thus was born the first nucleus of the Order of the Discalced Clerics of the Holy Cross and the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, later called Passionists. At the base was a radical belonging to the cross of Jesus and the concept that His Passion was not only an inevitable prerequisite for redemption from sin, but "the maximum expression of God's love for man". The first religious were trained as preachers: they would not fight the Turks with weapons, but with the word they would defeat ignorance, irreligion and abandonment of the Gospel. Paul of the Cross spoke and wrote a lot: perhaps ten thousand letters or more; his preaching during the Jubilee of 1750 is historic. His life, however, was spent largely in solitude, in the retreat on Monte Argentario where he moved and where he founded the first convent. From here he left for missions directed to the poorest areas of the Maremma and to the most remote islands of the Tuscan archipelago where it is difficult to make the Word of God penetrate. In 1771, thanks to the collaboration of Mother Crocefissa Costantini, she founded the female branch of the Congregation in Tarquinia: the cloistered nuns who would become the Passionist Sisters of Saint Paul of the Cross, a congregation of apostolic life consecrated to the educational mission, especially of women who were victims of violence and exploitation. Paul died in Rome in 1775; he was canonized by Pius IX in 1867. https://www.causesanti.va/it/santi-e-beati/paolo-della-croce.html Next Item Previous Item

- St Pier Giorgio Frassati
Pier Giorgio Frassati, born in 1901 in Turin, Italy, was a devout Catholic known for his deep love for the poor, his joy, and his dedication to justice and holiness. Raised in a wealthy but spiritually divided family, Pier Giorgio embraced a life of prayer, service, and social action. A student of engineering, he intended to serve Christ among miners. He was active in Catholic organizations, promoted Eucharistic devotion, and gave generously to those in need. Despite his hidden acts of charity, he was beloved by many. He died in 1925 at age 24 from polio, contracted while helping the sick. St. Pier Giorgio Frassati Time Period: 1901-1925 Feast Day: July 4 Title/Attributes: Confessor, Dominican Location of Relic: Back Left Reliquary - Right Section Type of Relic: Piece of Linen Pier Giorgio Frassati was born in Turin on April 6, Holy Saturday, 1901, to Alfredo, founder of the daily newspaper “La Stampa” in 1895, and Adelaide Ametis. His mother stands out for her strong character and artistic temperament. A year later the Frassatis will give Pier Giorgio a sister, Luciana, who will become his inseparable playmate and study companion. The Frassati family can be considered to belong to the local upper middle class and is culturally liberal in feeling, with the agnostic father and the mother a formal believer: from her Pier Giorgio receives the first rudiments of Catholicism, while faith, instead, will mature in him in an unexpected way, becoming the very foundation of his life. He received his scholastic education at the public school “Massimo d'Azeglio” and then, the “Istituto Sociale” of the Jesuits. The contact with Ignatian spirituality and the formation imparted led the young Pier Giorgio to take Communion every day, and subsequently to enter the Conferences of St. Vincent. Although he came from a bourgeois family, as a young man he chose to be close to the needy by becoming the “porter” of the poor, dragging carts loaded with household goods of the evicted through the streets of Turin. As a member of the Conference of St. Vincent he visited the neediest families to whom he offered comfort and tangible help. His deep faith is nourished by daily Eucharist, prayer, frequent confession. He is in love with the Word of God: in his time it is reading reserved in fact for consecrated people, but he obtains the texts to read them personally. Trusting completely in the words of Jesus, he sees the presence of God in his neighbor, he considers himself "poor like all the poor": he is generous with words and gestures of fraternal charity, both alone and in the organized form of the Conferences of Saint Vincent, in the streets of Turin, in the poor neighborhoods, at Cottolengo. In 1918 he enrolled in Mechanical Engineering (with a specialization in mining) to be able to dedicate himself to Christ among the miners, who were among the humblest and least qualified workers. In 1919 he joined the FUCI (Italian Catholic University Federation). He joined Catholic Action by participating in the Milites Mariae circle , adopting the PAS motto “Prayer, Action and Study”. In the strong tensions of the first post-war period, he was involved in a social apostolate, which also saw him present in factories. Convinced of the need for social reforms, in 1920 he joined the Italian Popular Party, which he considered a useful tool for creating a more just society. In the same period, his father was appointed Ambassador to Germany. In Berlin, Pier Giorgio visited the poorest neighborhoods and came into contact with the circles of young German Catholic students and workers. In September 1921 in Rome, during a large demonstration of the Catholic Youth, he defended the flag of his circle from the assault of the Royal Guards, being arrested. The writings of Saint Catherine of Siena and the fiery speeches of Savonarola encouraged him to enter the Third Dominican Order in 1922, taking the name of Brother Girolamo. As a fervent disciple of Saint Dominic, he recited the Rosary every day, declaring that “I always carry my will – showing the rosary – in my pocket”. He is a member of numerous ecclesial associations, into which he pours the many interests of his ardent Christian life. His days were therefore divided between prayer, helping the needy, studying and friends. After his death, his parents learned from their son's friends, and from those who had received his help, the lifestyle of this boy who ran through the streets of Turin, always on foot because he offered the money for the tram in alms, to buy medicine for the sick, even donating his clothes for those who did not have them. His parents often scolded him because he always arrived late, being unaware of their son's charitable life. The young Pier Giorgio had also thought about priestly consecration but chose to live his vocation to holiness in the lay state because this lifestyle allowed him to share up close the world of workers and the poor through personal social action. He is passionate about mountains and sports, and joins the Italian Alpine Club and the Giovane Montagna association. He often organizes trips with friends (the Società dei Tipi Loschi) that become occasions for apostolate. He goes to the theater, the opera, visits museums, loves painting and music, knows entire passages of Dante by heart. He is always attentive, however, to the needs of others, especially the poor and the sick, to whom he gives time, energy, and his very life. Almost at the finish line of his degree, with two exams to go, he died of fulminant polio, probably contracted while assisting the poor. The first symptoms, migraine, loss of appetite and fever, appeared on June 30. He died in Turin on Saturday, July 4, 1925. Two days later, the overflowing crowd at the funeral began to reveal to his family and the world the greatness of his Christian testimony. Thus began, starting from this great fama sanctitatis, the path that would lead to his beatification, presided over by the Holy Father Saint John Paul II, in a Saint Peter's Square packed with the faithful. https://www.causesanti.va/it/santi-e-beati/pier-giorgio-frassati.html Next Item Previous Item
- St Catherine Labouré
St. Catherine Labouré, born in France in 1806, was deeply devout from a young age. After her mother’s death, she felt a special connection to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom she regarded as her spiritual mother. She entered the Daughters of Charity in 1830 and experienced visions of the Virgin Mary. In one vision, Mary gave her a mission to create the Miraculous Medal, promising great graces to those who wear it. The medals spread quickly. Catherine spent 40 years caring for the sick and elderly. She died in 1876, and her body was found incorrupt. Her feast day is November 28. St. Catherine Labouré Time Period: 1806-1876 Feast Day: November 28 Title/Attributes: Daughter of Charity of SVDP, Marian Saint Location of Relic: Back Left Reliquary - Right Section Type of Relic: Bones St. Catherine Labouré was born in France on May 2, 1806 as the ninth of 11 children to Pierre and Madeleine Labouré. In 1815, Catherine's mother passed away, leaving her 9-year-old daughter with the responsibility of caring for the household. After her mother's funeral, Catherine returned home and picked up a statue of the Blessed Virgin. Holding it close, she said, "Now you will be my mother." Growing up, Catherine was known for being a quiet and practical child, though she was extremely devout. A couple of years after her mother's death, Catherine experienced a dream of an old priest motioning her to a room of sick people. "It is a good deed to look after the sick. God has designs on you. Do not forget it." Years later, during a visit to the Daughters of Charity hospital, Catherine saw a picture of the old priest on the wall. She discovered it was of their founder, St. Vincent de Paul. Catherine immediately knew she would become a member of St. Vincent's order. In January 1830, Catherine Labouré entered the novitiate of the Daughters of Charity. Months later, on July 19, 1830, Catherine woke from her sleep after hearing a child's voice calling her to the chapel as the Blessed Virgin Mary was waiting for her. As Catherine approached the chapel, the door swung open revealing a brilliant light. The Blessed Virgin told Catherine she would be given a mission with all the graces necessary to complete it. Our Lady said, "God wishes to charge you with a mission. You will be contradicted, but do not fear; you will have the grace to do what is necessary. Tell your spiritual director all that passes within you. Times are evil in France and in the world." In November 1830, the Blessed Mother visited Catherine a second time during evening meditations. She showed herself inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe with rays of light coming from her hands toward the globe. Around the frame were the words, "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." Mary asked Catherine to take these images to her father confessor, Father Jean Marie Aladel, telling him they should be placed on medallions. "All who wear them will receive great graces." At first, the priest did not believe Catherine, but after two years, he brought her story to the Archbishop. The Archbishop ordered 2,000 medals struck. The medals were dispersed so rapidly and effectively it was said to be miraculous. Catherine Labouré spent the next 40 years of her life caring for the elderly, sick and disabled. On December 31, 1876, Catherine passed away at 70-years-old. Her body was encased in glass beneath the side altar in the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Paris. Her body was discovered to be incorrupt after being exhumed in 1933. She was beatified by Pope Pius XI on May 28, 1933 and canonized by Pope Pius XII on July 27, 1947. St. Catherine Labouré is often shown with the Daughters of Charity habit and the Miraculous Medal. St. Catherine Labouré is the patron saint of the elderly, infirmed people and the Miraculous Medal. Her feast day is celebrated on November 28. Next Item Previous Item
