Saint of the Day – 

Yesterday’s Saint of the Day Saint Anthony – The writing of “S.A.G.” (Saint Anthony Guide) on envelopes has its roots in a miracle. St. Anthony is well known as the Franciscan Friar who finds lost articles, but this is not the reason for the pious custom of giving him charge of our mail. In the early eighteenth century, a certain merchant sailed from Spain to Peru. His wife wrote him several letters, but never received a reply. At length, being at the end of her material sustenance and without hearing from her husband, she invoked the aid of Saint Anthony with childlike confidence. In the Franciscan church in Oviedo, she placed another letter to her husband into the hand of a large statue of the saint, begging him to have it safely delivered. She later returned to the church, and seeing the paper still in the statue’s hand, she began complaining to St. Anthony for not living up to her confidence. A priest, hearing her cries, came to see what the problem was. Upon hearing the story, he asked her to get the letter, for the statue would not relinquish it to him. The woman reached up for the letter, and not only could she take it easily, but several gold pieces fell to the floor. To her joy, the letter was not hers, but an entirely different letter from her husband, who expressed concern about not hearing from her sooner. He also related that a Franciscan father had brought his wife’s letter and had promised to deliver the reply. The letter may still be still be seen at Oviedo and is dated Lima, July 23, 1729.

Poverty, Chastity and Obedience – 

• They are a counsel and not a commandment. 
• We shouldn’t confuse the two.
• Albigensians were kind of a rebirth of the Manicheans.
• The Dominicans dealt w/ the Manicheans the way the Franciscans dealt w/ the Albigensians.
• It traps good spirits into evil bodies – Albigensians
• People voluntarily embrace a life of poverty, chastity and obedience.
• Chasity is a virtue and a counsel. 

HEADLINE: Saint Basil the Great (379) by The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary 

• Saint Basil is one of the thirty-two Doctors of the Catholic Church. He came from a family of saints. Saint Macrina the Elder was his grandmother. Saint Basil the Elder and Saint Emmelia were his father and his mother. Saint Gregory of Nyssa, Saint Peter of Sebaste, and Saint Macrina the Younger were his two brothers and his sister. He is called the father of eastern monasticism. He declared that he would not allow his soul to be turned aside from God by his love of any single earthly thing. Saint Basil is one of the four great Eastern Doctors of the Church. The other three are Saint Athanasius, Saint Gregory Nazianzen, and Saint John Chrysostom. Saint Basil was only forty-nine years old when he died. Five saints of the Catholic Church are commonly given the title “the Great” when they are referred to. These are: Saint Gregory the Great, Saint Leo the Great, Saint Basil the Great, Saint Albert the Great, and Saint Gertrude the Great.
