Biography

Ilie Lăcătușu was born on December 6, 1909 in Crăpăturile village ( Vâlcea county ) (currently Țepești village in Tetoiu commune), being the second child - out of the seven - of Marin and Maria Lăcătușu, simple peasants. His father was a church singer, which brought the child closer to the Church from a very young age.

Wanting to become a priest, after graduating from school in his native village, he enrolled in the Theological Seminary "Saint Nicholas" in Râmnicu-Vâlcea (1923-1930), whose courses he graduated with the Diploma of Virtues "for soul skills that distinguish between his colleagues ".

Between 1930-1934, he studied at the Faculty of Theology in Bucharest, whose courses he graduated with excellent results. During this time, on July 5, 1931, he married the teacher Ecaterina Popescu, having five children.

After graduating from theological studies, on September 1, 1934, he was ordained as a priest on behalf of Osica de Jos Parish in Caracal district ( Olt county ), until November 1, 1934, when he was transferred as a parish priest in the village of Buicești. from Olt county.

In 1942 he was seconded to the Romanian Orthodox Mission in Transnistria, preaching the word of the Holy Gospel in Odessa and Sersenița Parish in Rîbnița County. He ended his career as a missionary priest in the spring of 1943, returning to the country where his two children and a sick wife were waiting for him.

On July 19, 1952, Fr. Ilie Lăcătușu was arrested, sent and placed in the MAI Galeșu labor colony, at Canal, until October 1952 when he was employed in the MAI Peninsula labor colony, where he was part of the "famous brigade of priests". A year later, in September 1953, due to his deteriorating health, he was transferred to the prison in Târgu Ocna , where Valeriu Gafencu , nicknamed "the saint of prisons", lived his last days .

His two-year detention was executed "on the basis of the administrative decision of the Ministry of Interior", without having had a single day of conviction.

He was released on April 26, 1954, returning to the Church in Buicești Parish, where he served until July 1, 1959, when he was arrested again and sentenced to five years in prison. In August 1955, the Lăcătușu family lost their fourth child. He was sent to forced labor in the Periprava colony in the Danube Delta, in a formation in which the group of Oltenian priests was included.

Here he met Father Iustin Pârvu . He was released from prison only on May 6, 1964, by MIA Order no. 502/1964, having the qualification of bricklayer, category of Va. At the time of his release, his health was deteriorating.

After his release, he was forced to live in Bolintinu (Titu district), where he was forced to work as a bricklayer. Starting with December 20, 1964, Father Ilie Lăcătușu served in the Gârdești parish (Protoieria Videle) in Teleorman county , and in 1970, he was transferred to Cucuruzu village from Răsuceni commune ( Giurgiu county ), from where, on January 11, 1978, was retired on request.

The difficult years of imprisonment greatly affected his health and for this reason he spent the end of his life in the hospital. On his hospital bed, he demanded that his wife, if she died in 15 years, be buried next to him.

Father Ilie Lăcătușu passed away after a great suffering on July 22, 1983, on a bed of the Panduri Hospital in Bucharest. The body of the father was not embalmed, because the church canons forbid this to the ordained priests and monks. He was buried in the family crypt in the "Assumption" Cemetery in Bucharest.

His exhumation and canonization preparations
change

In September 1998, the widow of Father Ilie Lăcătușu died. On the occasion of his burial, the priest's tomb was opened.

On September 29, 1998, 15 years after passing among the righteous, the body of priest Ilie Lăcătușu was found intact and spreading a good scent. The rotten body weighed 7–8 kg, and was found in the conditions of holy relics: incorruptible, fragrant, dry and light, hazel-colored skin, retaining its size and appearance, which, looking at it, does not cause fear, but spiritual joy, giving the impression of a sleeping man.

At the time of the discovery of the incorruptible body of Father Lăcătușu, Mihai Spirache, the father's nephew, touched Ilie Lăcătușu, and for a week, Mihai Spirache's right hand kept the smell of myrrh, specific to holy relics. "I wasn't the only one who smelled that special smell: and those around me noticed it! ... " .

Seeing this, the daughter of Father Ilie Lăcătușu, Maria Sabina Spirache, the only surviving successor at the time, submitted a memorandum on October 5, 1998 to the Archdiocese of Bucharest about this discovery. On July 16, 1999, the Press Office of the Romanian Patriarchate stated the following position regarding the canonization file of Father Ilie Lăcătușu:

"The Church has not established terms, neither precise nor approximate, for the verification of holiness. but it is too true that the Church never put any special haste into the acts of canonization, except when the avalanche of popular piety imposed it on her. , as before ".

The father's body was kept secret until February 27, 2000, because the Patriarchate of the Romanian Orthodox Church had not given a blessing to be seen.

The father's descendants asked priests and hierarchs in the country and abroad to perform release services. From May 1, 1999, at the Frasinei Monastery , release services were held for 40 days, after the Holy Mass.

On the occasion of the one-year memorial service (September 29, 1999), in a mysterious atmosphere, His Eminence Theodosius Snagoveanul , vicar-bishop of the Archdiocese of Bucharest, read a hierarchical prayer for the release of any great sins or anathemas that would hinder the body. the priest to rot.

On February 6, 2000, Metropolitan Seraphim Joant of Germany, Central and Northern Europe, officiated a religious service, accompanied by prayers for release. The body remained incorruptible and, as a result, the Patriarchate opened a canonization file to Father Ilie Lăcătușu, giving a blessing to open the crypt that houses his body.

A few months after the discovery of Father Lăcătușu's incorruptible body, on the national television station, the documentary film "Signs", made by the director Cornel Ciomazga, was broadcast, in which the discovery was presented.

The news of finding the relics of Father Ilie Lăcătușu spread throughout Romania, he being honored by the faithful as a saint. The first icon of Saint Elijah the Confessor was painted on the exterior wall of the church of Petru Vodă Monastery, where the abbot was his former prison colleague, Archimandrite Iustin Pârvu . He had spent 17 years in prison and, knowing Father Elijah, was deeply impressed by his spiritual life.

Currently, the relics of Father Ilie Lăcătușu are in the crypt from the "Assumption of the Mother of God" cemetery in the Giulești neighborhood of Bucharest, where he was buried. His incorruptible body was placed in a new glass coffin so that anyone could see it.

Her father was unable to move her body, so he confessed his sin and begged assistance from the Archbishop of Trnovo. The archbishop and his priests were likewise unable to move the body. Realizing the martyr did not want to remain in her native country, the archbishop began listing monasteries and churches.

Saint Hilaria

Saint Hilaria was the mother of Saint Afra. Both worked around the year 304 (under Emperor Diocletian) in a brothel in Augsburg (now Germany, then Roman Empire).

When Bishop Narcissus, an itinerant bishop, and his deacon Felix entered the restaurant one night, thinking it was a 'normal' tavern, they ordered something to eat and said grace. Then Jesus Christ appeared to them in the light and Afra and Hilaria were converted. They were baptized that same night and have not pursued the 'horizontal trades' ever since.

They founded the first Christian community in Augsburg. But the displeasure of the male population brought Afra before the court, she was executed. Afra's body was brought to Hilaria, who buried her in a stone coffin. During the funeral service, the Roman soldiers found Hilaria and the rest of the community, and they were all burned.

According to legend, Hilaria clung to her daughter's coffin, and that's how her bones were found. While St. Afra still lies in her stone coffin in Augsburg today, the bones of St. Hilaria were brought to Vienna around 1720.

St. John Bonus:

Johannes de Bone (Bonus or Bonatus), was born in 1168 in Mantua, Italy. His father's name was John and his mother's name was Bona. At the age of 20 he left his parents' house and hung around in knight's castles as a court jester. After a serious illness in 1208, he was converted and made a penitent confession to the Bishop of Mantua.

Then he settled in Budriolo near Cesena as a hermit. A number of companions soon gathered around him, who at first lived as hermits, like Johannes Bonus; however, he soon encouraged them to share a religious life. The community called itself Johannboniten or Jamboniten. Gradually, 26 monasteries that lived under the Augustinian rule emerged during his lifetime. John Bonus died on October 23, 1249.

He was illiterate and, out of humility, did not want to learn to read or write or become a priest. Pope Alexander IV summarized the monasteries with other groups of hermits in 1256 to the Order ofAugustinian hermits together. The order spread quickly, in 1256 there were already the 5 order provinces of Italy, France, Germany, Spain and England.

Ioasaph of Belgorod

Saint Ioasaph of Belgorod (Ukrainian: Йоаса́ф Бєлгородський, Russian: Иоасаф Андреевич Белгородский; also spelt Joasaph, secular name Ioachim Andreievich Gorlenko; 8 (19) September 1705 – 10 (21) December 1754) was an 18th-century Russian Orthodox hierarch, bishop of Belgorod from 1748 until his death.

Feast 10 December

His remains were found to be incorrupt, and after many miracles he was glorified by the Eastern Orthodox Church in 1911. Stolen from his shrine in 1917, the saint's body was thought to be lost but was eventually found in storage in a museum and returned to Belgorod in 1991.

Early life

Born at Priluki, in the Russian Empire′s Cossack Hetmanate (present-day Ukraine), Ioachim Gorlenko was the son of Colonel Andrei Dmitrievich Gorlenko of the Pryluky Regiment, by his marriage to Maria Danylovna, a daughter of Danylo Apostol (1654–1734), a notable military leader and ruler, Hetman of the Cossack Hetmanate from 1727 until his death.

The young Gorlenko thus had influential connections. After attending the Kiev Theological Academy, in 1725 he was tonsured a monk of the Mezhyhirya Monastery, under the name of Hilarion.

Career and miracles

In 1727 Hilarion (as he then was) took monastic vows and received the name of Ioasaph, and in 1728 he was ordained a deacon. By the end of that academic year he was teaching at the Academy.

In 1737 he was appointed archimandrite of the Mhar Monastery near Lubny. In 1744, by command of the Empress Elizabeth, Iosaph was advanced to the rank of archimandrite and translated to become head of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, the most important Russian monastery and the spiritual centre of the Russian Orthodox Church. On 2 June 1748 he was consecrated as bishop of Belgorod and Oboyanska.

Glorification of Ioasaph, Belgorod,
4 September 1911

After his arrival in Belgorod, Ioasaph was noted for his untiring efforts for his diocese and especially for his work to help those in need, often visiting the poor and the sick.

He died on 10 December 1754, aged only 49, at a village in the Graivoron district. On 15 December his body was taken from there to Belgorod and was placed in his Holy Trinity Cathedral. Not until 28 February 1755 was the coffin transferred to a crypt in the cathedral which had been made on Ioasaph's orders. Some years later the body was found to be incorrupt, and news of this spread.

The sick began to visit the coffin of Ioasaph, many reporting cures. The miraculous power of Ioasaph's relics became known throughout the Russian Empire, and every year more people came to Belgorod to seek help. Ioasaph thus gained the aura of a saint, and portraits of him became popular. In 1883, the Holy Trinity Cathedral became a monastery cathedral, and a series of requests for Ioasaph's glorification began to be made.

Finally, in 1910, Tsar Nicholas II asked the Holy Synod to glorify Ioasaph as a saint, which it agreed to do. On 4 September 1911 the glorification was celebrated in the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Belgorud, attended by more than 200,000 people, many of whom had come from all over the Empire and beyond.

Before the First World War, Ioasaph's relics were greatly venerated and were brought out for the curing of the sick, when great crowds came hoping for a miraculous cure. One who attended such an occasion wrote

"Now, it is hard to imagine that sight: thousands and thousands of sick, bent, crippled, possessed, and blind people stood and lay on both sides of the road, along which the saint's relics were to be carried." A substantial shrine, made of silver, was created in the Holy Trinity Cathedral.

In the summer of 1914, when news came of the Austro-Hungarian monitor bombardment of the Serbian city of Belgrade beginning on 29 July 1914, one landowner, Prince Obolensky, spoke stirringly to his peasantry of the need for war with Austria, and they reacted enthusiastically. He later learned that his hearers had understood him to mean the Belgorod which held the relics of the recently glorified Ioasaph.

Loss and return of the relics

After the October Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks removed Saint Ioasaph's remains from his shrine in the cathedral at Belgorod, and for some seventy years their whereabouts remained unknown.

In 1927 the Holy Trinity Cathedral itself was demolished. In the late 1980s the remains were discovered in the Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Leningrad, and on 16 September 1991 they were solemnly returned to the new Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord in Belgorod, the occasion being marked by a service in which Patriarch Alexy II took part.The same year, Leningrad returned to its former name of Saint Petersburg.

Ioasaph's name is still revered by the Orthodox faithful, and above all by those from the Ukraine.

The Feast of the Opening of the Relics of St Ioasaph, Bishop of Belgorod, is celebrated on 4/17 September and also on 10/23 December, the date of his death.

He is also commemorated on: 19 July and 1 August

Dedications

The Orthodox Church of St Iosaph in Muddy, Illinois, was built in 1913 and dedicated to the newly consecrated St Ioasaph of Belgorod. The spelling "Iosaph" was chosen.

cadaveric incorruptibility

property attributed to divine intervention when a co**se does not decompose despite not having been preserved in any way


Incorruptibility is the property of a co**se (usually human ) not to decompose after death , despite not having been embalmed or preserved in any way. It is attributed in some religions to divine intervention .

Causes

natural mummification

oxygen isolation

It is a natural phenomenon, which consists of the desiccation of the co**se by evaporation of water from its tissues, which makes it impossible for germs to develop, thus stopping the putrefaction process.

The result is that the external shape of the body is preserved quite well, to the point that the features of the deceased can be recognized.

The isolation of the body from oxygen is an important factor for the preservation of its organs.

As explained by the forensic anthropologist, José Manuel Reverte Coma, in his studies for the Panamanian Gorgas Institute for Health Studies, these preserved co**ses have nothing of mysticism or magic,

"This phenomenon occurs in some places such as the crypts of some monasteries where the dryness of the environment and the absence of insects, together perhaps with the fact that the body was free of fat and the existence of an adequate internal environment to destroy the bacteria responsible for putrefaction, allows the body to dry out in natural form, remaining incorrupt for an indefinite time".

Petrification

Another case that can occur is petrification , transformation of the co**se into stone material due to infiltration by hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate. A clear example of the above is the case of the Guanajuato mummies .

adipocere

Another way, opposite to the previous one, is when the co**se remains in an environment of relative humidity, but sterile where the putrefaction stops to give way to natural mummification, either in a peat as is the case of the Mummy of the swamp , first there is a saponification (transformation of tissues into soaps through fat) and then a plastic phase, during which the soft parts are transformed into something similar to plasticine.

Corification

Corification : is a blockage of the putrefaction of a co**se when it is placed in a perfectly sealed coffin, in the absence of oxygen, the development of certain putrefactive bacteria is impossible , and the organic tissues remain preserved with a leather-like appearance.

This natural process generally occurs in co**ses that are placed in zinc or lead coffins hermetically sealed by welding, the putrefaction stops due to lack of oxygen, it is characterized by the fact that the skin of the co**se assumes a grayish color and acquires the typical consistency of fresh leather. tanned, the subcutaneous cellular tissue, the musculature and the viscera, especially the abdominal ones, are considerably reduced in volume, giving the co**se an appearance of marked malnutrition.

Corification occurs between the end of the first year and the second of conservation, although it has also been seen in a few months.

It would be a kind of natural embalming, which only takes place in the special hermetic environment in which the co**se is found. It is a kind of mixture between mummification and saponification and some authors consider that it is a previous or incomplete step to the phenomenon of saponification.

The corified co**se differs from the mummified one in that it is softer and more flexible.

Preservation by dehydration

In most cases, enzymes need a watery environment to work, but if the temperature is too high, the body dehydrates before the enzymes can take action, leading to mummification.

cryopreservation

It can also happen that due to a low environmental temperature the body is preserved with few important variations. The intense and prolonged cold can propitiate a practically indefinite conservation of the co**se. Continuous cooling at -40 °C allows the almost indefinite preservation of products of animal and vegetable origin.

On the other hand, the rapid freezing in liquid nitrogen at -196 °C, allows the preservation of biological material in vital conditions, for later use in transplants or research.

The perfect preservation of the co**se allows its identification, but once it has thawed, the cadaveric phenomena show an accelerated course, so the autopsy should not be postponed. An example of this situation is the finding of Ötzi .

Biography
Edit
Vincent Pallotti was born in Rome on 21 April 1795, to Pietro and Magdalena De Rossi Pallotti. He was descended from the noble families of the Pallotti of Norcia and the De Rossi of Rome. His early studies were made at the Pious Schools of San Pantaleone, and from there he passed to the Roman College. At the age of sixteen, he resolved to become a priest, and was ordained on 16 May 1818. Shortly thereafter he earned a doctorate in theology.[2] Pallotti is described as small of stature, slight of built, with big blue eyes and penetrating glance.[3]

He was given an assistant professorship at the Sapienza University but resigned it soon after to devote himself to pastoral work. Pallotti worked selflessly looking after the poor in the urban areas of the city for most of his life.

He organized schools for shoemakers, tailors, coachmen, carpenters, and gardeners so that they could better work at their trade, as well as evening classes for young farmers and unskilled workers. He soon became known as a "second Saint Philip Neri".

He once dressed up as an old woman to hear the confession of a man who threatened "to kill the first priest who came through the door".

Veneration

He was proclaimed blessed by Pope Pius XII on 22 January 1950. He was canonized in 1963 by Pope John XXIII.On 6 April 1963, he was named principal patron of the Pontifical Missionary Union of Clergy.

When Pallotti's body was exhumed in 1906 and 1950, examiners found his body to be incorrupt, a sign of holiness in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. His body is enshrined in the church of San Salvatore in Onda, in Rome, where it can be seen.

Legacy

Pallotti was deemed a patron of Vatican II for his efforts toward building unity in the church through such practices as inviting the people of his community to worship in the Roman parishes of Eastern Catholic Churches.

Pallottine sisters in Belize, where they have ministered to the Maya peoples since the 1930s

His followers are the Pallottines, still operating internationally. They follow his motto, "The love of Christ impels us" (Caritas Christi Urget Nos). Members of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate work as everyday missionaries to "renew faith and rekindle love."

They work to fulfill the mission of their founder in the modern world. The Pallottines have major houses in Britain, Germany, New York, Poland, India, Ireland. Belize, and several other locations.

The Congregation of the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate, commonly referred to as Pallottines, is an international community founded in Rome, Italy by Vincent Pallotti.

The Pallottine Sisters trace their beginnings to the Pia Casa di Ca**tà (Pious House of Charity) he established in Rome in 1838. This was a work dedicated to the religious and civil education of young girls who had been abandoned on the streets of Rome to procure food through begging. It is a work that is still operating today.

The Missionary Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate began in Germany as a response to the missionary needs in the Cameroons which were being administrated by the Pallottine Fathers.

During the Christmas Season, a nativity scene that Pallotti made himself is put on display at the Vatican, in the basilica's square, before the Christmas tree. Pallotti promoted the celebration of the Octave of the Epiphany as an act of unity with his Orthodox brethren who celebrated Christmas on 6 January at that time (now 7 January).
