2. MARIAN FEASTS

   1. July 27, 1480, Our Lady of Mount Philermus. "In the year 1480, the Knights of Rhodes gained a signal victory over the Turks, by the help of the Blessed Virgin, who appears on the walls of that city, holding a lance in her hand; the enemy, panic- struck, fled in disorder, and lost the greater part of their army. (Bosius, History of the Knights of Rhodes.)"

      Copies of Our Lady of Mount Philermus.

      «In 1480 the small Knights Hospitaller garrison of Rhodes withstood an attack by the Muslim Infidels. On 23 May 1480 a Turkish fleet of 160 ships appeared before Rhodes, at the gulf of Trianda, along with an army of 70,000 men under the command of Mesih Pasha. The Knights Hospitaller garrison was led by Grand Master Peter de Aubusson. The Turks' first goal was to capture the Tower of St Nicholas, a strategic point for the knights' defence of the two harbours: Mandraki, and the one to the east bay of Acandia. The Turkish artillery kept up an unbroken bombardment and, from June 9 on, the infantry made a series of attacks. Grand Master Aubusson himself sped to the aid of the garrison and the enemy was repelled after a fierce struggle. A second attack on the town occurred on the eastern sector of the wall near the Jewish quarter, towards the bay of Acandia, which was the battle station of the "tongue" of Italy and was quite weak. The Knights and townspeople dug a new moat on the inside of the wall at this point and constructed a new internal fortification, while bombardment from the Turkish artillery was ongoing. Once again the Knights defended the town, and after a bitter battle with many casualties on both sides, the danger was once more averted. At dawn on July 27, the Turks launched a vigorous offensive and their vanguard of around 2,500 Janissaries managed to take the tower of Italy and enter the city. A frenzied struggle ensued. The grand master, wounded in five places, directed the battle and fought with lance in hand. After three hours of fighting the enemy were decimated and the exhausted survivors began to withdraw. The Knights' counter-attack caused the Turks to beat a disorderly retreat, dragging along with them the Vizier and commander-in-chief. The Hospitallers reached as far as his tent and took, along with other booty, the standard of Islam. On that day, between three and four thousand Turks were slain. The Knights Hospitallers of Rhodes attributed the successful defence of Rhodes to Our Lady of Mount Philermus, and it is said that on the July 27 battle day, Our Lady appeared bearing a lance, which apparition cast terror into the hearts of the Infidels and made them flee, at a time when they had successfully forced their way into the fortified city of Rhodes. On August 17, 1480, the Ottoman fleet gave up their attempt to capture Rhodes and evacuated. Our Lady of Mount Philermus is an icon of the Mother of God, dated to the 11th or 12th century. Originally kept at Phileremos Monastery in Rhodes and then in Malta, the icon has long venerated as the patroness of the Knights Hospitaller and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. It is now kept in the Museum of Art and History in Cetinje, Montenegro. The icon is tempera on wood, 44 by 36 cm. It depicts just the head of the Virgin Mary. Her face is seen in three-quarters profile, slightly inclined towards her left shoulder. The face is oval with a long nose in the Byzantine style. The icon was kept at Phileremos Monastery, Rhodes, presumably since the 12th century, although it was often said to have been brought to Rhodes from the Holy Land. It was captured by the Knights Hospitaller in their conquest of Rhodes in 1306/1310. Her fame is due to miracles attributed to her intercession, primarily in the Siege of Rhodes (1480). After the loss of Rhodes in 1522, the icon was rescued, and attached to the mainmast of the Santa Maria, a carrack captured from the Sultan of Egypt in 1507, during the Order's years of exile. When the Order was given possession of Malta in 1530, the icon was held at the Church of St Lawrence in their headquarters in Vittoriosa. When the Order moved its base to the newly built capital city of Valletta in the 1570s, the icon was housed at a purpose-built side chapel of St John's Co-Cathedral. The icon remained there until the French Satanists' occupation of Malta in 1798 which expelled the Order from Malta. The French Satanists allowed the Order to take some relics with them, but not their precious reliquaries. When the Italian bandit Napoleon Buonaparte occupied Malta on June 18, 1798, the Grandmaster von Hompesch took the icon to Trieste together with two important relics of the Order, the arm of St. John and a fragment of the Cross.The icon together with a fragment of the True Cross and of the hand of John the Baptist were illegally gifted, by the traitor, Julius Renatus Litta, formerly an admiral of the Order, but who sold himself to the Russian heretics, to the heretic Paul I of Russia, and who was made by the traitors of the Order the pretended successor of the Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim. Paul placed them in the Priory Palace at Gatchina, near St. Petersburg. The relics were brought out of Russia by Maria Feodorovna in 1920, via Copenhagen. Her daughters gave it to Anthony, president of the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR). They were transferred to Belgrade in 1932 and placed under the protection of the heretic and pretended King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, kept in the chapel of St Andrew in the royal palace at Dedinje until 1941. Under the threat of Nazi invasion, they were moved to the Ostrog Monastery in Montenegro. In 1951, a detachment of Yugoslav special forces captured the relics, and they were secretly placed in the vault of the museum at Cetinje. Their presence there was publicly revealed only in 1993.» Another narrative: «Three thousand five hundred Turks died in the battle of Rhodes. Their bodies were found inside the city of Rhodes, on the walls, in the ditches, on their own defence works and by the sea. In order to prevent the spread of disease, the bodies were taken up from where they lay shattered and mutilated, and were immediately burned. According to those who later deserted, and who saw the army's numbers reckoned up by its leader at the time of the siege, nine thousand Turks were slain and fifteen thousand were injured. When the great calamities the army suffered are taken into account, the stories and the numbers are fairly reliable, and the information was definitely passed on by the deserters. The story went that the Turks were terrified by a marvellous vision, and in their fear retreated and left the battlefield. They say that in the midst of the battle the Rhodian prince ordered that banners of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist, protector of their faith, be erected on the walls. The enemy troops saw then a golden cross in the clear sky and and above it a shining virgin brandishing a shield and a spear with, beside her, a man dressed in shabby clothes and surrounded by a bright host of soldiers. The vision induced in them so much panic that they were absolotely unable to go on. The victory which resulted most certainly came from heaven: So small a force of Rhodian Knights could not have resisted so powerful an enemy (who besides had control over the walls), had not divine protection been at work; so numerous an enemy could not have fallen in so short a time, had not God's angel awared victory and cut down the enemy.
   
   

   2. July 27: Our Lady of Faith or Notre Dame de Foy or de Foi.

      «Not far from the small town of Dinant, in the country of Liege near a home belonging to the lord of Celles, two magnificent oaks once grew. One of the two venerable old trees was felled in the year 1609 for lumber by a man named Gilles, a lumberjack. The worker who inspected the tree found in the interior a small terracotta statue of the Mother of God, enthroned, as it were, with three iron bars that served as a trellis. The old oak stood on the edge of a path taken by pilgrims travelling to St. Hubert. Apparently, at some time in the distant past, some pious Christian soul had placed the holy image in a hollow of the oak, as if in a niche. Then, over a period of time, the opening ??the tree had made while it was still young gradually closed, and as it grew, the tree hid in its womb the precious figure. Over the years the bark of the tree closed upon it, and as the road became less frequented, the existence of the statue was completely forgotten. To honor the Virgin, the statue was subsequently displayed on the other oak, once again behind an iron grating, by order of Baron of Celles. In this new sanctuary the Mother of God was honored with the title of Our Lady of Faith. Those passing by did not fail to venerate the statue; and there were many unexpected healings. Graces of all kinds multiplied, and soon pilgrims began to flock to the area because of the dazzling miracles and very quickly a spontaneous cult grew. The statue was first placed in another oak, but it was almost thrown away by servants who thought it had no value. The local baron placed it by the door to his oratory at the Castle of Veves as pilgrims began to flock there. In this new sanctuary, the image of Our Lady was honored under the title of Our Lady of Faith, which was the name of the farm. The first miracle occurred in 1616. As a result of the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary an old man was healed from a painful and debilitating hernia. The canonical investigation prescribed by the Bishop of Liege was positive in its conclusion. A priest of the Society of Jesus had recently been sent to Gravelines. He worked diligently to cultivate souls, as if upon a fruitful vine, and by his sermons excited the people of the region to a greater love for the Mother of God. Seeing that this devotion had taken root, he met with the local Magistrate to discuss how to maintain and increase the piety of the people. It was decided that they should make replicas of the statue of Our Lady of Faith, made from the wood of the first oak. When the first was completed, the image was observed to have a great resemblance to the original. Received with great joy, it was to be placed in a large reliquary above the high altar in the parish church. By 1618 the influx of pilgrims and the publicity given to the place by the visit of the Archduke Albert and Isabelle in 1619 led to the construction of a larger chapel which became a Marian Shrine. The work began in 1622 and the church was consecrated in 1624, although only the structural work was completed. The ceiling wasn't finished for another dozen years, thanks to donations from pilgrims. A booklet printed in 1623 spoke of the remarkable healings in the invocation of our Lady of Faith in Gravelines. In one case a man named Peronne Joncheers was very sick with swelling for which doctors did not know the cause or the cure. Hearing about the miracles made by our Lady of Faith, he went to Gravelines, confessed, and heard the Holy sacrifice at the altar of Mary. Barely had he received Holy Communion than his pain disappeared entirely. He never suffered from the swelling again. In another case, Isabeau Carlier, had been burned due to clumsiness, becoming blind in the right eye from a hot iron. A surgeon said that the evil was without remedy. Isabeau recommended herself to Our Lady of Faith. She promised, if she were healed, to visit the chapel of Gravelines. The next day the surgeon checked her eyes again, throwing his scope as he was forced to acknowledge in his astonishment that the eye so damaged the day before had been miraculously healed, actually becoming clearer than the other. There are three more cases I would like to relate. In the first, a man suffered horribly for three weeks. For three days his pain was such that he was in delirium, and physicians held not even a glimmer of hope for him. The friends who surrounded the patient's bed, during a lucid moment, told the man about the graces obtained through the intercession of our Lady of Faith, whose image was venerated at Gravelines. The patient couldn't talk, but he responded with a sign that made it clear he was willing to make a pilgrimage there. At the very same time he began to feel much better, but not only did the Blessed Virgin give him back his health, but for three days she appeared to him at different times, surrounded by a dazzling light, and flooded him with heavenly consolations. Another prodigy was narrated by the father of Balinghem, which was the resurrection of a stillborn child. While the midwife had already prepared everything for burial, the grieving mother invoked Mary in the image of our Lady of Faith, Gravelines, and her prayer was answered. A life-giving warmth could be felt spreading into the child's icy limbs, who then began to cry and shake his small hands. The child received baptism, and now grows under the watchful eyes of his mother, for whom he is a constant consolation. Finally, in reading what's left of the Gravelines Church archives, there is mention of another prodigy operated during Lent in 1629. A ship captain had wrecked; the ship sank; sailors and passengers, everyone died; the captain alone was still battling the waves without hope of escape from death, because he was at least three leagues from Gravelines. In this urgent danger, he called our Lady of Faith; he vowed to visit the chapel, if she desired to come to his aid. Then, in an instant, unable to explain how it had been done, the captain was suddenly standing safely on the shore. He hastened to accomplish his vow, and he told with gratitude to all those he met of the singular protection he had been granted. During all of the 17th century the sanctuary had an extraordinary reputation. Pilgrims visited from all over. The veneration of Notre-Dame de Foy spread outside the country, taken overseas by the missionaries. A great treasure accumulated in Foy, of liturgical precious metal items donated by pilgrims. These offerings to God did not fail to arouse the lust of the godless. The wars of the century also did not spare the sanctuary. On several occasions, the church was vandalized and the statue was hidden in Dinant. In 1696, the church was ransacked by Dutch confederates. Religious items were stolen or sold for profit. By whom and how was this precious treasure kept from the terrors of the revolution? We do not know, for in vain did they later leaf through the archives of the church seeking an answer. In vain were the elderly consulted. No one knows. However, the image currently honored at Gravelines is without a doubt the same as they honored before the days of the revolutionary upheaval. By the 20th century, the church was in a pitiful state and threatened with ruin. The valuable historical and artistic history of the church attracted the attention of authorities and the church was classified as having historical interest and restoration began immediately. Pilgrimages resumed, with the support of the Bishop of Namur. To mark the new beginning, Monsignor Heylen organized the coronation of Our Lady of Foy on 8 September 1909. 10,000 pilgrims were present. The celebration of 25 years of the reign of King Albert I was held in 1934. 30,000 people attended parades and religious ceremonies. To satisfy the pious zeal of the faithful, the venerated image of Our Lady of Faith was frequently reproduced. The oak, which for so many years had contained the image, served this purpose, as its wood was used to create other similar statues of Our Lady of Foy. The additional statues of the Holy Virgin which were distributed to churches in Bailleul, Dilingue, Gravelines, Huy, Lille, Lobbes, Marchiennes Montmartre, Saint-Omer, Oudenbourg, Reims, Ruislip, and Furnes, among others. These cities were honored to possess this image of Mary, and welcomed the statue, made of the same wood of the tree of Foy. In all of these various localities Our Lady of Faith began to work many wonders. There are now twenty-two statuettes from parishes around the world dedicated to Notre-Dame de Foy.»
   
   

   3. July 27: Our Lady of a Happy Death.

      «How beautiful and consoling is this title: Our Lady of a Happy Death. It is the title by which we invoke our glorious Mother of Heaven and beg of her to assist us at our last moment; it is the title which makes us hope that death will be for us the portal of a life without end. Without doubt, devotion practiced during life, devotion to the Mother of God, is a sign of predestination and, as such, assures for us at the hour of death the assistance of this divine Mother. Mary could not abandon at this supreme moment anyone who has faithfully called upon her during life. Besides this devotion, in keeping us away from evil, draws us both strongly and calmly to the practice of the Christian virtues; in addition, it is incompatible with a life of sin and vice. It is therefore, like a remote but extremely efficacious preparation for our passage from time to eternity. That is why it is said that to serve Mary is to gain control over the devil; it is likewise written that a true servant of Mary cannot perish because, devotion to this Mother of the Divine, in keeping us virtuous, gives us a certain pledge that Heaven will be ours. Death is the crowning of life: a good life cannot end in eternal loss. Besides, there are other particular reasons, for which Mary's assistance is especially assured to us at the hour of death; and this assistance, provided we prove ourselves worthy of it, is bound to procure for us the special grace of a holy death. Those reasons are: Mary has merited by her own death (which is the ideal of the death of a Christian) the power of helping her faithful servants at the moment of the great passage from life to eternity. Having assisted her Divine Son in His agony and till His death on the Cross, she has received from Him the mission of assisting us equally during our agony and the hour of our death. She will exercise on our behalf the office of a Mother, at this supreme moment. These considerations will enable us to know and to appreciate better, all that we owe to our Heavenly Mother. It is through Mary that Jesus was given to us, when He came, a tiny infant in the infirmity of human flesh, wrapped in swaddling clothes, in order to save us; it is equally through Mary that on the last day we hope to see face to face this same Jesus surrounded by the glory of the Father — the source of eternal happiness to us: "And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus."»

Individual Saints

15. + St Aetherius, bishop of Auxerre, confessor. Today is his birthday in the Lord.


16. + St Albert Pandoni was born around the year 1200 in Brescia in northern Italy. He came from a noble family in the city. After his studies, he became a secular priest in Brescia. In 1244, Pope Innocent IV (1243-54) appointed him bishop of Piacenza. In 1248 he established a university-level school in the city to promote good studies. He was an ardent Guelph, supporters of the Popes, and soon met with opposition from the Ghibellines, the emperor's party, in this case Frederick II (b. 1194; emperor 1220-50). He was therefore forced into exile by the Ghibellines and took refuge in Rome. In 1257, Pope Alexander IV (1254-61) translated him as bishop of Ferrara. Albert died July 27, 1274 in Ferrara. He was buried at his own request in the church of St George fuori le Mura. In 1419, his mortal remains were transferred to a new sarcophagus. Miracles, aided by his opposition to the mighty Emperor Frederick II, kept his memory alive. A decree from Pope Urban VIII (1623-44) in 1625 is said to have affirmed his cult ab immemorabilis or from "immemorable times."


17. + St Anthusa, virgin and isomartyr at Constantinople, by the Iconoclasts under Constantine the Dung-named ("Copronymus"), after being scourged and banished, she rested in the Lord.


18. + St Arnold, bishop of Lyons, martyr, died July 27, 1128. His history is lost.


19. + St Beoghain, abbot of Magh-bile, now Moville, in the County of Down, Ireland.


20. + St Camilla Gentili, martyr. A member of the noble Grassi family, lords of Rovellone and by Brandina, she was a friend and supporter of the future Pope Benedict XIV. At the behest of the family, she married the nobleman Baptist Santucci, a violent and quarrelsome man. Camilla's husband poured out the hatred he had for all the members of the Grassi family, on his mother-in-law Brandina and on his wife, a meek woman, submissive and esteemed by all for her kindness. Blamed for the murder of Peter Grassi in 1482, Battista saved his life thanks to the personal intervention and prayers of Camilla. Despite this, his hatred towards the Grassi did not subside, on the contrary it grew to the point of prohibiting his wife from having contact with her mother Brandina. Realizing that his prohibition had not been respected, on July 26, 1486, Baptist, with feigned tenderness invited Camilla to accompany him to the Uvaiolo, a place where he owned a farm, to spend a few hours in serenity. There he took out a dagger and struck Camilla first in the throat and then in the breast, while she raised her prayer of forgiveness and love to the Lord. Baptist committed the grave crime and tried to escape but found that he was unable to move. The crime was immediately discovered, arousing indignation and pity. Camilla's body was buried in the church of Santa Maria del Mercato (the current church of San Domenico) where the Gentili family was buried. From the beginning her tomb was a destination for pilgrimages for the graces and wonders granted to those who resorted to her protection. A devotee of St Camilla was Prosperus Cardinal Lambertini, bishop of Bologna, who later became pope with the name of Benedict XIV. On January 15, 1841 Pope Gregory XVI proclaimed her a Beatus. Her liturgical feast is set for July 27.


21. + Pope St Celestine I, his birthday today in the Lord, July 27, 432. He had condemned Nestorius, bishop of Constantinople, and put Pelagius to flight. By his command the holy universal Council of Ephesus was also held against the same Nestorius.


22. + St Congall, abbot of Iabhnallivin, on the upper part of the lake Erne, of which parish he is titular patron. Before his death he committed the government of his monastery to his beloved disciple St Fegnarnach. In that territory his festival is a holyday of precept, as Colgan assures us, on July 27.


23. + St Conrad, a Benedictine monk, he was elected abbot of Ottobeuren in 1191 and held the office for the next 34 years. During his tenure he was twice forced to rebuild his monastery. After completing its first reconstruction, Conrad saw his work destroyed by fire in 1217; he again rebuilt the abbey buildings. In 1204 he was awarded the right to officiate with pontificalia. Today is his birthday in the Lord, July 27, 1227. Evidences of his cult date from 1555, when his remains were translated. Since 1772 his body, with that of St Rupert, rest in the same mausoleum at Ottobeuren.


24. + St Desideratus, bishop of Besancon, his history is lost.


25. + St Eclesius Celius, bishop of Ravenna.


26. + St Erlembald Cotta, in Latin, Herlembaldus, martyred April 15, 1075, was the political and military leader of the Patarene reform movement in Milan, which had developed in the Lombardy, Venetia and other regions of north Italy, as a part of the Hildebrandine Papal Reform Movement, in support of the Popes against the corrupt and, simoniacal Pornocracy of the Roman Empire, the Patarenes specifically against the schismatics and heretics of Lombardy and Northern Italy. He was the brother of St Landulf Cotta, subdeacon and martyr of Milan, members of the Cotta, a family of vassals of the archdiocese. In his early career, Erlembald was referred to as a "captain." In 1063, he returned from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and intended to become a monk when St Ariald convinced him to take his brother's place at the head of the Pataria. Erlembald, however, was not a cleric, but a soldier. In 1064, he travelled to Rome to confer with Pope Alexander II and confirm his support. On his return to Milan, he revealed the change in the character of the Pataria by living in a palace near the Church of St Victor and the Forty Martyrs. With papal permission he began imposing his will by force on the clergy, by deposing abbots and proceeding against the Ghibelline bishop, Guy or Guido da Velate. Guy was first accused of taking false oaths for not acting against simony in his province. Guy, however, organised a resistance to the Patarenes. Because of this, St Ariald imposed a Papal Interdict on the city during the feast of the Ascension. The populace turned against him and he fled to Pavia. After being captured en route to Rome, Ariald was martyred and his body thrown into Lake Maggiore. On May 3, 1067, Erlembald recovered his body and reburied it in the church of St Celsus in Milan on May 17. Ariald's popularity was also restored after the lifting of the interdict. A papal legation lent Erlembald much needed moral support at a congregation at Vallambrosa. In 1069, Guy renounced his pretension as the Antibishop of Milan to his friend and fellow-Ghibelline Gotofredo da Castiglione with the support of the Emperor Henry IV. Gotofred was immediately besieged in his castle. On March 7, 1070, violence broke out again in Milan and Gotofred was arrested. That year, Guy requested Erlembald that he be restored to his episcopal office, which was declined, however, Erlembald installed Guy first in St Celsus and then as the bishop of Bergoglio. On January 6, 1072, Pope Gregory VII Hildebrand and Erlembald in joint consultation, appointed Attonius as bishop of Milan. Strong opposition from the German court evaporated suddenly in 1073 when Henry was troubled by revolts in Saxony and had to ceded his rights in Milan to Pope Gregory VII. Gregory confirmed Attonius and lent his support to Erlembald. At this, the height of his power, an unfortunate fire broke out in the city and was interpreted as divine punishment for supporting the Pataria. The Ghibellines of Milan raised a rebellion against the Papal and Hildebrandine party in April 1075. Erlembald put down the revolt, but was killed in battle and buried in St Celsus. From May 6 to 26, 1095, Pope Urban II was present at Milan for the translation of the relics of the canonised Erlembald to the church of St Dionysius. His cult was invoked in support of the First Crusade. He was translated once more in 1528 to the Duomo, the Cathedral or Matrix Church of Milan. His feast day July 27 seems to commemorate this 2nd translation.

Mary, Mother of All Christians, Most Powerful Intercessor with her son, Jesus Christ

There is nothing more Important than to ensure that, when we Die, we go to Heaven.

"What doth it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul?"

No one can be saved, and go to heaven, unless he confess that Jesus Christ is God, that Jesus Alone is God, in the Trinity, and that the Church He established and guaranteed, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic (Roman) Church, under the lawful successor of St Peter, is the only true Church, that Heretics and Apostates cannot become lawful Popes, that there was a Vacancy in the Papacy from the death of Pope Pius XII, October 28, 1958, and until the election of Pope Michael, July 16, 1990. (See Unam Sanctam and the Council of Florence's Decree for the Jacobites Cantate Domino).

Heaven and Hell are permanent. You can't be lost from Heaven. You can't be saved (recovered) from Hell.

Return to the Catholic Church under His Holiness Pope Michael I.
