doors at dawn. He had become so ten- as
dirly devoted to the Passion of our Lord, Nt
that at Mass he seemed quite wrapt out of er
mimsself, and his charity to the poor and Gi
saieated knew no bounds. His love for

ST. JOHN JOSEPH OF THE CROBS. ti
Whilst but a schoolboy John Joseph fe
urged his companions to hate sin, sternly e1
rebuked careless livers, and gave to the C
poor-the better half of his meals. At the w
age of sixteen he had left Ischia, his birth- h
place, and received the habit of St. Francis t(
in Naples, and three years later was sent h
by his superiors to erect a new house of It
the Aleantarines in Piedmont. In the hope n
of leading a solitary life he now retired to A
a hermitage at the foot of the Appenninee; e:
but his superiors soon summoned him e:
thence, and in 1676 he was made first a
novice master and then superior, being h
at the time only twenty-four years of age. ft
He was a man of strong feelings, a fond ti
and devoted son, and all the affection of ti
his nature was poured out on his brethren d
in religion. His faith, his austerities, and h
his prayers endowed his charity with mir- o
aeulous efficacy. In times of famine he fed J
the friars with bread that multiplied and a
baherbs that grew at his command. No suf- h
fering seemed too trivial for his wonder- v
working sympathy; when a poor sick i
woman wished for peaches in the depth of 2
winter they were found on a chestunt A
branch which the Saint had planted, and a
every ill of mind and body was in turn
healed at his word. In 1702 his firmness a
and charity saved the very existence of his
Order, which was imperilled by internal h
dissensions. He worked to his life's end, f
an e a Zhe br hint; tOl -
1734.
The Saint was not content to relieve a
others of their cares and sorrows, but at
times took them upon himself. A priest, I
in great suffering from two ulcers, and t
with a painful operation in view, begged
his prayers, whereupon St. John Joseph
besought God to transfer the malady to
himself. He was at once smitten with the t
sufferings of the sick man, who was at the i
same time freed from his disease. Again, 1
a man plunged in vice made a general con
fession to the Saint, who, moved by his
contrition, gave him only a light penance,
binding himself to fulfill what still remain
ed due for his crimes.

ST. COLETTE, VIRGIN.
After a holy childhood, Colette joined a
society of devout women called the Be
guines; but not finding their state ouffic
lently austere, she entered the Third Order
of St. Francis, and lived in a hut near her
parish church of Corbie in Picardy. Here
she had passed four years of extraordinary
penance, when St. Francis, in a vision, bade
her undertake the reform of her Order,
then much relaxed. Armed with due an
thority she established her reform through
out a large part of Europe, and, in spite of
the most violent opposition, founded seven
teen convents of the strict observance. By
the same wonderful prudence she assisted
in healing the great schism which then af
flicted the Church. The Fathers in Counn
eil at Constance were in doubt how to deal
with tbe three claimants to the tiara
John XXIII., Benedict XIII., and Gregory
XII. At this crisis Colette, together with
St. Vincent Ferrer, wrote to the Fathers to
depose Benedict XIII., who alone refused
Shis consent to anew election. This was
done, and Martin V. was elected, to the
great good oftheCbhurch. Colette equally
assisted the Council of Basle by her ad
Svice and prayers; and when, later, God re
r- veasled to her the spirit of revolt that was
rising, she warned the bishops and legatee
-retire from the Council. She died March
6th1, 1447, in a transport of intercession for
sinners and the Church.
St. Colette never ceased to pray for the
Church, while the devils in turn never
ceased to assault her. They swarmed
Sround her as hideousne Insects, buzzing and
atinging her tender skin. They brought
into her cell the deca5ing corpses of pnb
lie criminals, and assueming themselves
monstrous forms strock her savage blows; y
or they would appear in the most seductive
guise, and tempt her by many deceits to
sin. Yet the virgin of Christ triumpbed
alike over their threats and allurements,
and said she would count that day the un
happiest of her life n which she sunffered
nothing for her G ,d.

t8. Thomas was born ot noble parents at
AiQo.la Italy, A. D.. 18. At the age of
nineteen be received the Dominican balt wai
at Naples, where he was studying. Seized der
by his brothers on his way to Parise, he suf- a p
fered a two years' captivity in their castle to i
of Rocca.Secca; but neither the caresses of pla
his mother and sisters nor the threats and the
stratagems of his brothers could shake him son
3n his vocation. Having at length escaped, "F
be went to Culogee to study under B. Al- con
bert the Great, and after that to Paris, Th
where he taught for many years philosophy sol
and theology. The Church has ever vene- me
rated his numerous writings as a treasure- the
house of sacred doctrine; while in naming we
him the Angelic Doctor she has indicated thli
that his science is more divine than human. at I
The rarest gifts of intellect wese combined cot
in him with the tenderest piety. Prayer, anc
he said, had taught him more than study. at
His singular devotion to the Blessed Sac- the

for Corpus Christi, which he composed. the
To the words miraculously uttered by a ren
crucifix at Naples, "Well hast thou written atif
concerning me, Thomas; what shall I give the
thee as a reward 9" he replied, "Nought
save Thyself, 0 Lord." He died at Fossa- sol
Nnova, A. D. 1274, on his way to the Gen- cols
eral Council of Lyons, to which Pope awl
Gregory X. had sanaonned him. bre
While St. Thomas was in confinement at ant
Rocca Secca his brothers endeavored to tha
entrap him into sin, but the attempt only his
ended in the triumph of his purity. ma
Snatching from the hearth a burning brand, ted
the Saint drove from his chamber the hiu
wretched creature %hom they had there iot
concealed. Then marking a cross upon the Bigi
wall, he knelt down to pray, and forthwith, to
being wrapt in ecatacy, an angel girded boc
him with a cord, in token of the gift of
perpe ua chi w
him. The pain caused by the girdle was
so sharp that St. Thomas uttered a piercing
cry, which brought his guards into the we
room. But he never told this grace to any Ii
one save only to Father Raynald, his con
fessor, a little while before his death. of
Hence originated the Confraternity of the Th

ST. JOBN OF GOD. an
Nothblg in John's early life foreshadewed thi
his future sanctity. He ran away as a boy m.
from his home in Portugal, tended sheep ca
and cattle in Spain, and served as a soldier let
against the French, and afterwards against an
the Turks. When about forty years of age,
feeling remorse for his wild life, he resolv- we
ed to devote himself to the ransom of the an
Christian slaves in Africa, and went thither pit
with the family of an exiled noble, which pa
he maintained by hislabor. On his return in.
to Spain he sought to do good by selling wi
holy pictures and books at low prices. At wi
f length the hour of grace struck. At Gra- a
nada a sermon, by the celebrated John of an
Avila, shook his son! to its depths, and his co
expreesions of self-abhorrence were so to
extraordinary that he was taken to the of
asylum as one mad. There he employed th
himself in ministering to the sick. He had at
found his vocation. On leaving he began m
to collect homeless poor, and to support
them by his work and by begging. By hb
degrees helpgilowed in ; the bishop became pt
his patron, and gave him the name of John
of God. When his hospital was on fire, di
John was seen rushing about uninjured w,
amidst the flames until he had rescued all at
his poor. Atter ten years spent in the ser- te
vice of the suffering, the Saint's life was tt
fitly closed. He plunged into the river as
Xenil to save a drowning boy and died tt
A. u. 1550 of an illness brought on by the tb
attempt, at the age of fifty-five. cc
One night, St. John found in the streets at
a poor man who seemed near death, and, ni
as was his wont, he carried him to the as
hospital, laid him on a bed, and went to bh
fetch water to wash his feet When he bad ol
he knelt to kiss them, and "
started with awe; the feet were pierced, t
a and the print of the nails bright with an tc
t unearthly radiance. He raised his eyes to ri
look, and heard the words: "John, to Me o0
thou doest all that thou doest to the poor p
a in My name; I reach forth My hand for the e;
h alms thon givest; Me dost thou clothe; tt
n Mine are the feet thou doet wash." And n,
e then the gracious vision disappeared, leav n
ing St. John filled at once with confusion si
and consolation. a

ST. FRANCES OR ROM. B.
Frances was born at Rome in 1384. Her a
parents were of high rank. They over
ruled her desire to become a nun, and at
twelve years of age married her to Lorenzo I
Ponciano, a Roman noble. During the 5
a forty years of their married life they never
ae had a disagreement. While spending her v
a- days in retirement and prayer, she attend i
er ed promptly to every household duty,
ar saying: "A married woman most leave t
re God at the altar to find Him in her domes- I
ry tic cares ;" and she once found the verse of r
Is a psalm in which she had been four times a
r, thus interrupted completed for her in let
i- ters of gold. Her ordinary food was dry t
i- bread. Secretly she would exchange with n
of beggars good food for their hard crusts;
n- her drink wra water, and her cap a human
ly skull. Daring the invasion of Rome in
,d 1413, Ponziano was banished, his estates
f-. conftiscated, his house destroyed, and his
n- eldest son taken as a hostage. Frances
sl saw in these losses only tie hfoeer of God, I
- and blessed Bis holy name. When peace
y was restored Por ziano recovered his estates
th and Frances founded the Oblates. After
o her husband's death, barefoot and with a
ad cord about her neck, she begged admission
as to the community, and was soon elected
e Superioress. She lived always in the
ly presence of God, and amongst many vis
- ions was given the constant sight of her
- angel guardian. She died on the day she
as had foretold, March 9th, 1440.
e St. Frances's angel appeared to her
ch under the form of a lovely child about
r eight years of age; his eyes were fixed on
heaven, his arms reverently crossed on his 1
e breast; he shed such a brigtnese around
er him that the Saint could read her midonight
d Office by this light alone. He shielded her
d in the hour of temptation, and directed her
t in every good act. Busoe when she was
- betrayed into some defect, he faded from
a her hight; and when some light words
a; were spoken before her, he covered his
e face in shame.

ts, THE FORTY MARTYRS 01O SEBASTE.
0 The Forty Martyrs were soldiers quar
ed tered at Sehaste in Arumenia, about the
3ear 320. When their legion was ordered
from the rest, aid formed a company of
martyrs. After they had been torn by
at soourges and iron books they were chained
of together, and led to a lingering death. It
bit was a cruel winter, and they were con
ed downed to lie naked on the icy ourface f.f
if- a pond in the open air till they were frozen
tie to death. But they ran nndismayel to the
of place of their combat, joyfully staipped off
ad their garments, and with one voice be
im sought God to keep their ranks unbroken.
d, "Forty," they cried, "we have come to
Ll- combat; grant that forty may be crowned."
is, There were warm bathes hard by, and a E
by soldier stood on guard, ready at each mo
e- ment to bring to the fire any one amongst
e- them who would deny Christ. As he
ug watched he saw angels descending with
ed thirty-nine crowns, and while he wondered
on. at the deficiency in the number, one of the
ed confessors lost heart, renounced his faith,
or, and crawling to the fire died body and soul
ly. at the spot where he expected relief. But
,c- the soldier on guard was inspired to con
ns fees Christ and take his place, and again )
Ad. the number of forty was complete. They a
a remained steadfast while their limbs grew
en stiff and frczen, and died one by one, till
ve the last of the forty entered heaven.
'bt Among the Forty there was a young
a. soldier who held out longest against the
n- cold, and when the officers came to cart
pe away the dead bodies they found him still T
breathing. Tney were moved with pity,
at and wanted to leave him alive in the hope
to that he would still change his mind. But
ly his mother stod by, and this valiant wo
y,. man could not beat to see her son separa
d, ted from the band of martyrs. She exhorted
he him to persevtre, and lifted his frozen body
ire into the cart. 11ie was just able to make a
he sign of recognition, and was borne away
hb, to be thrown into the flames with the dead
ed bodies of his brethren.
