POPE SAINT PIUS X AUGUST 21 Born poor and humble of heart Undaunted champion of the Catholic faith Zealous to restore all things in Christ Crowned a holy life with a holy death Inscription on his tomb in the crypt of the St. Peter’s Basilica Italian Pope Throughout his priestly life he held numerous roles bringing a richness of pastoral experience to his papacy. On his first encyclical he laid down the sole aim of his pontificate: “to restore all things in Christ“, condemning Modernism as the root of faithlessness. In 1905 he issued a decree inviting the faithful to receive Holy Communion frequently and even daily. Pope Pius X.

ST. JOSEPHINE BAKHITA FEBRUARY 8 “I invite the whole Church to invoke the intercession of St. Bakhita upon all our persecuted and enslaved brothers and sisters…From her may [we] be able to draw renewed encouragement for generous dedication in the service of God and neighbor.” Pope John Paul II Homily at the Canonization of Josephine Bakhita, October 2000 Sudanese Slave, Religious, and Saint Abducted and sold into slavery at the age of seven, suffered much at the hands of cruel masters. Sold in the markets she was bought by a catholic Italian consul, at his residence she was treated with love. She moved to Italy with the family, there she came to know about God and came to understand the profound truth that God is the true Master of every human life. She joined the Canossian Sisters.

BLESSED ÓSCAR ARNULFO ROMERO MARCH 24 “Wherever there is someone who has been baptized, that is where the church is… Let us not hide the talent that God gave us on the day of our baptism and let us truly live the beauty and responsibility of being a prophetic people.” Blessed Oscar Arnulfo Romero Archbishop of El Salvador, Central America He was assassinated at the altar while celebrating the Eucharist for defending justice, reconciliation and the cause of the poor. From his installation until his death he spoke loud and clear during his Sunday Homilies of the injustices and cruelty that the underprivileged class was undergoing.

ST. GIANNA BERETTA MOLLA APRIL 28 “The extreme sacrifice she sealed with her life testifies that only those who have the courage to give of themselves totally to God and to others are able to fulfil themselves.” Saint John Paul II Homily Canonization Mass of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, May 2004 Italian Pediatrician, Mother and Wife She gave her life so her child might live. Pregnant with her fourth child, doctors discovered a cancerous tumor that needed to be removed, the surgery would mean her unborn baby would die. She wanted the baby be allowed to live. She died seven days after her baby girl was born. Her life, and moreover, her death is a remarkable testimony of professional and moral commitment to life.

ST. PIO OF PIETRELCINA SEPTEMBER 23 “You must speak to Jesus, not only with your lips, but also with your heart; actually, on certain occasions, you should speak with only your heart.” Saint Pio of Pietrelcina Italian Capuchin Priest He bore the wounds of Christ up to some months before his death. Famous confessor, renowned for his understanding of the spiritual life and the struggles human beings face; was always there for anyone who needed him. He enjoyed the grace of reading the remorseful hearts. Was accused of being an impostor by some, and asked by Church officials not to celebrate Mass for several years. He was exonerated with the passing of time. Thousands of miracles have been attributed to him. St. Pio of Pietrelcina

MARY MACKILLOP AUGUST 8 “Mother Mary knew that behind the ignorance, misery and suffering which she encountered there were people, men and women, young and old, yearning for God and His righteousness. Her story reminds us of the need to welcome people, to reach out to the lonely, the bereft, the disadvantaged.” Pope John Paul II Homily Beatification Mass of Mary MacKillop Australia’s First Saint In her youth she was drawn to religious life. Founded a new community of women, the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, also known as the Josephite, who have been setting up schools all over Australia and New Zealand, bringing education to those who could not afford it, working in orphanages, with unmarried mothers and amongst aborigines. Accused of disobedience, she was briefly excommunicated by the local Bishop, who eventually rescinded his order. Pope Leo XIII officially approved the congregation.

This demands strength of character…a constant, persistent, and relentless effort is asked of us right up to the moment of our death. This may be conceived as a slow, steady martyrdom.” Pope Pius XII, Homily at the Canonization of Saint Maria Goretti Italian Peasant Girl At the young age of 12, died a martyr to preserve her purity. Born into poverty, lived a virtuous life born out of her deep love for God, stabbed by a young man when she prevented him from violating her. Her courageous resistance, heroic death, the conversion of her murderer and canonization with her mother and her murderer in attendance makes her life story a story of victory, remaining us of Jesus victory on the cross.

31ST. TERESA BENEDICTA OF THE CROSS (Edith Stein) AUGUST 9 “Things were in God’s plan which I had not planned at all. I am coming to the living faith and conviction that—from God’s point of view the whole of my life, has been mapped out in God’s divine providence and makes complete and perfect sense in God’s all-seeing eyes.” Saint Therese Benedict of the Cross Holocaust Martyr, Jewish Convert, Philosopher and Educator After her conversion to Catholicism she became a Discalced Carmelite nun taking the name of Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Her faith journey took her from Jew, to atheist, to Catholic, to Religious life and finally to Sainthood. Recently she was named Doctor of the Church.

MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA SEPTEMBER 5 “We will allow the good God to make plans for the future—for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served. Our Lord told us not to fret about tomorrow, which is in God’s hands. So we do not worry about it.” Saint Teresa of Calcutta Beloved Saint of Modern Times Entered religious life as a Sister of Loreto, while riding on a train in India, she heard the Lord’s invitation to tend to the poorest of the poor. Her belief that that physical and the spiritual hunger need to be attended for humans to live as God intends, led her to found the Missionaries of Charity Family.

Open wide the doors for Christ.” Saint John Paul II Homily for the Inauguration of his Pontificate, October 1978 Extraordinary Pope He prepared the Church for the Third Millennium. First non-Italian Pope in centuries, who as a young priest and bishop stood up to the communist regime in Poland. He traveled all over the world to bring the good news of Jesus. Started World Youth Day as he saw in the youth the future of the church. Miraculously escaped an assassination attempt, and good- naturedly lived his life-limiting illness until his death.
