May 25th - Bede, Priest, Doctor (RM) Born in Northumbria, England, 673; died at Jarrow, England, on May 25, 735; named Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIII in 1899.
In the days when Northumbria was a great scholastic center with famous schools at Jarrow and York, Bede was the most distinguished of its scholars. Beginning at age seven (or three?), he was educated at the newly-founded monastery at Wearmouth-Jarrow under Abbots Benedict Biscop and Ceolfrid. In 703, he was received as a monk by Saint Benedict Biscop and ordained a priest at age 30 by Saint John of Beverley. Except for a few brief visits elsewhere, Bede spent the rest of his life in Jarrow; never going further afield than Lindisfarne and York.... more »

On Ardent Love and Eager Desire to Receive Christ [II]
Although I am not fit to enjoy such feelings of devotion as the Saints yet I offer Thee all the love in my heart, as though I alone were moved by these most fitting and ardent longings. So, whatever a pious heart can conceive or desire, that I offer Thee with all reverence and love. I wish to withhold no part of myself, but freely and most gladly to make an offering to Thee of all that I am or have. 0 Lord my God, my Creator and Redeemer, I wish to receive Thee today with that affection, reverence, praise and honour, with that gratitude, worthiness, and love, with that faith, hope, and purity with which Thy most holy Mother, the glorious Virgin Mary, desired and received Thee, when she devoutly and humbly answered the Angel who brought the joyful message of the Mystery of the Incarnation: `Behold, the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to Thy word.' (Luke 1:38)... more »

May 21st - St. Crispin of Viterbo, OFM Cap
(Also known as Peter Fioretti)
Peter Fioretti was born at Viterbo, Italy, on November 13, 1668. His father, Ubald, died when Peter was very young. The raising of the boy and his stepsister was left in the hands of his mother, Marsha, who had already been widowed once when she married Ubald. When Peter was five years old, his mother dedicated him to the Virgin Mary at the shrine of Our Lady of the Oaks near Viterbo. "Look," she told her son, "this is also your mother. I have made you a gift to her." Peter never forgot that experience, and throughout his life referred to Mary as his "momma." Since his mother could not afford to educate him, Peter's paternal uncle, Francis, provided for his schooling. After working as a cobbler for his uncle, the frail, lean 25-year-old Peter asked to join the Capuchins, desiring to imitate Felix of Cantalice.... more »

The Value of Adversity
IT IS good for us to have trials and troubles at times, for they often remind us that we are on probation and ought not to hope in any worldly thing. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction, to be misjudged by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be humble and shield us from vainglory. When to all outward appearances men give us no credit, when they do not think well of us, then we are more inclined to seek God Who sees our hearts. Therefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.... more »
