St. John Francis Regis, SJ. A Jesuit missionary at heart, John Francis Regis longed for distant lands but found his mission in rural France. Traveling village to village, he preached tirelessly, reconciled sinners, and cared for the poor and forgotten. His life shows that sanctity lies not in where we serve, but in how faithfully we answer God’s call.

Saint Germaine Cousin was born in 1579 of humble parents at Pibrac, a village about ten miles from Toulouse and died in her native place in 1601. From her birth she seemed marked out for suffering; she came into the world with a deformed hand and the disease of scrofula, and, while yet an infant, lost her mother. Her father soon married again, but his second wife treated Germaine with much cruelty.

Germaine was kept away from the homestead, and thus the child was employed almost from infancy as a shepherdess. When she returned at night, her bed was in the stable or on a litter of vine branches in a garret. In this hard school Germaine learned early to practice humility and patience. She was gifted with a marvelous sense of the presence of God and of spiritual things, so that her lonely life became to her a source of light and blessing. Bread and water were her daily food. Her love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and for His Virgin Mother presaged the saint. She assisted daily at the Holy Sacrifice; when the bell rang, she fixed her sheep-hook or distaff in the ground, and left her flocks to the care of Providence while she heard Mass. Although the pasture was on the border of a forest infested with wolves, no harm ever came to her flocks.

She is said to have practiced many austerities as a reparation for the sacrileges perpetrated by heretics in the neighboring churches. She frequented the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist, and it was observed that her piety increased on the approach of every feast of Our Lady. The Rosary was her only book, and her devotion to the Angelus was so great that she used to fall on her knees at the first sound of the bell, even though she heard it when crossing a stream. Whenever she could do so, she assembled the children of the village around her and sought to instill into their minds the love of Jesus and Mary.

The villagers were inclined at first to treat her piety with mild derision, until certain signs of God’s signal favor made her an object of reverence and awe. In repairing to the village church she had to cross a stream. The ford in winter, after heavy rains or the melting of snow, was at times impassable. On several occasions the swollen waters were seen to open and afford her a passage without wetting her garments.

Notwithstanding her poverty she found means to help the poor by sharing with them her allowance of bread. Her father at last came to a sense of his duty, forbade her stepmother henceforth to treat her harshly, and wished to give her a place in the home with the other children, but she begged to be allowed to remain in the humbler position. At this point, when men were beginning to realize the beauty of her life, God called her to Himself. One morning in the early summer of 1601, her father finding that she had not risen at the usual hour went to call her; he found her dead on her pallet of vine-twigs. She was then twenty-two years of age.

A tireless preacher and confessor, Saint Anthony of Padua realized in his life a perfect balance and synthesis of hands-on pastoral work and retreat into intense spiritual solitude, love of neighbor and love for God. His memory is kept on June 13.

The Church celebrates the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary every year on the Saturday following the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This feast holds profound significance that extends far beyond a simple devotion. The Immaculate Heart represents Mary herself and serves as our pathway to holiness.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary mirrors the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jesus’s Sacred Heart is Jesus himself, which is why we celebrate a feast for the Sacred Heart. Mary’s Immaculate Heart is Mary herself, which is why we celebrate this memorial.
