Saint William
Archbishop of Bourges
(† 1209)
W
illiam Berruyer, of the illustrious family of the ancient
Counts of Nevers, was
educated by Peter the Hermit,
Archdeacon of Soissons, his maternal
uncle. From his early childhood Saint
William learned to despise the folly
and emptiness of the world, to abhor
its pleasures, and to tremble at its
dangers. His only delight was in
exercises of piety and his studies,
with which he employed his whole
time in an untiring application.
Saint William was made a canon, an
ecclesiastic attached to a cathedral
church, first at Soissons and
afterwards in Paris; but he soon
resolved to abandon the world and
retired into the solitude of Grandmont, where he lived with great
regularity in that austere Order.
Finally he joined the Cistercians,
flourishing with sanctity at the time,
and later was chosen to be Prior of the
Abbey of Pontigny, then made Abbot
of Challis.
On the death of Henri de Sully,
Archbishop of Bourges, William was
chosen to succeed him. The announcement of this new dignity which
had fallen on him overwhelmed him
with grief, and he would not have
accepted the office had not the Pope
and his own Cistercian General, the
Abbot of Citeaux, commanded him to
do so. His first care in his new posi-
tion was to conform his life to the
most perfect rules of sanctity. He
redoubled all his austerities, saying it
was incumbent on him now to do
penance for others as well as for
himself. He always wore a hair shirt
under his religious habit, and never
added to his clothing in winter or
diminished it in summer; he never
ate any flesh meat, though he had it
at his table for guests.
When he drew near his end, he was,
at his request, laid on ashes in his
hair cloth, and in this posture
expired on the 10th of January, 1209.
While this holy bishop was laid out
for veneration, an infirm young boy
who wanted to venerate him, but
had to be carried to the church by
his mother, was completely cured of
his infirmities, and ran about
proclaiming the miracle. The stone
of his tomb in the Cathedral Church
of Bourges cured mortal wounds
and illnesses and delivered
possessed persons; the deaf and
dumb, the blind, the mentally ill
became sound. So many miracles
occurred there that the monks could
not record them all, and he was
canonised nine years after his death,
in 1218, by Pope Honorius III.

SAINT MARTIN OF PORRES

THE NEW LAY BROTHER
M
artin did not take very long
eating his dinner. As soon as
possible he left his place and
went into the kitchen. There was a
platter of vegetables on a table and a
few loaves of bread in a wicker basket.
He picked them up and started off
toward the back door of the convent. It
was just one o’clock. His friends, the
poor, would be eager for this food. He
must not keep them waiting.
There was a great
shout of welcome as
Martin appeared at
the back gate. At
least fifty men and
women were waiting
for him, and even
some little children.
Most of them were
beggars, but Martin’s quick eyes saw
that a familiar little group was also
present. These were servants whose
masters were no longer rich, and who
could not bring themselves to come in
person for charity at Martin’s hands.
“Brother, could I have a little bread?”
cried one old woman, pushing her way
to the front.
“Something for me!” begged a ragged
little boy, pulling at Martin’s habit with
both hands.
“A little fruit, if you have it,” one of the
servants whispered in Martin’s ear.
“My good mistress is ill… although no
one knows it…”
January 2016
The story of the little
doctor of Lima, Peru
By Mary Fabyan Windeatt
Martin smiled at the crowd. Then he
spoke a few words over the platter of
vegetables and the loaves of bread.
Everyone there knew what those words
were, for Martin never failed to say
them:
“MAY THE LORD BLESS AND
INCREASE THIS FOOD, AND SATISFY ALL THOSE WHO COME.”
For at least an hour, Martin stayed at
the gate and gave out the food to the
poor. A stranger might have been
amazed that the vegetables on the
platter and the loaves in the basket
never seemed to grow any less, even
though fifty hungry people ate their fill
and gathered up what they wished to
take home. But Martin never looked
into his basket or at the platter to see
how things were going. He acted as
though there were no doubt that he had
brought enough for everyone.
“Bless you, Brother Martin!” cried the
crowd, when they had eaten all they
could hold. “May you stay with us
many years!”
Martin smiled. “Thank you, my friends.
Don’t forget the prayers you have
promised to say for me.”
There was still quite a little of the food
left. Martin offered a quick little
prayer of thanks to God for making
possible such a wonder. Then, when the
gate was shut, he turned his steps
toward the barn. Here it was that others

of his friends lived, the rats and mice
who had once caused the sacristan such
trouble by eating holes in the altar
linens. But the little creatures had not
entered the convent since the day when
Martin had ordered them to stay away.
The barn smelled of fresh hay. Martin
stepped inside with his vegetables and
bread. There was a mother dog here
with her puppies and a cat with her
kittens.
“Here’s your dinner, little friends,” he
called cheerfully.
At once a sleek gray cat left her kittens
to come and purr at Martin’s side, while
a small white dog ran up to the plate
which Martin was filling with vegetables. The lay Brother smiled to himself
as both started to eat from the same
dish. Dogs and cats were said to be
natural enemies, but these two were the
best of friends.
5
He stood there for a moment watching,
and thinking what a lesson men might
learn from this picture. If dumb animals
could learn to live peacefully together,
why not the different races of the
world? But he knew that this can only
happen through God’s grace, since only
people in the state of Sanctifying Grace
can love their neighbour the way God
wants.
Then a little squeaking noise made
Martin turn away for a moment. There,
peeking out from a hole in the barn
floor, was a tiny mouse. It was hungry
and had smelled the food, but it was
plain to see that it dared not come close
to the dog and cat. Its bright eyes
sought Martin’s face, and the lay
Brother stretched out his hand.
“Come on,” he said kindly. “No one
will hurt you.”
The dog and cat stopped eating and
made as though to chase the tiny
creature back into its hole, but Martin
shook his head. “Let the little thing
alone. God made it, even as He made
you and me.”
Quietly then, he coaxed the little mouse
toward the dish, and presently there
were three animals happily eating the
food which Martin had brought.
When Martin finally returned to his
cell, the black dog was ready for his
dinner, too. Martin fed him, attended to
his lame leg, then brought him to the
barn to join the other animals there.

EUCHARISTIC DEVOTION
6
January 2016
The Mystery of Faith
T
he Holy Eucharist is the touchstone of faith. Our Divine Saviour wishes to
remain with us under the insignificant appearance of bread, so that everything
we do toward uniting ourselves to Him should be a pure act of most meritorious faith. Our faith is only then an act of homage to the Divine Majesty and a meritorious act of adoration when it is based on the authority of Divine Revelation.
Everything concerning the Blessed Sacrament is
shrouded in deep mystery. No created spirit, not even
the Seraphim or Cherubim, is capable of penetrating
the mystery which hovers about this sublime Sacrament.
Our reason is suspended before this unsolved problem;
our senses protest against a doctrine which is beyond
their sphere. Natural knowledge fails in this case. Here
avails only humble faith in our Saviour’s words: “This
is my body, which is given for you” (Luke 22:19). “The
bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the
world… my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink
indeed” (John 6:52, 56).
If, then, a man founds his unshaken faith solely on the words of Christ, that faith is, in
truth, supernatural – a faith such as God expects from him. Such faith is unyielding; it
stands the test of the touchstone which Christ has left to us in the Most Blessed
Sacrament. We may say in all truth that our zeal and fervour towards the Most
Blessed Sacrament is a reliable barometer of our whole spiritual life. The true
Christian is known by his faith in the Blessed Sacrament.
How is it that so many Christians who assist even daily at Holy Mass and receive
Holy Communion are, nevertheless, so cold, indifferent and full of distractions when
they are in church before the Tabernacle?
It is because their faith is so weak that it does not deserve the name “faith.” True,
they believe that Jesus is present in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, but they
are not penetrated by the presence of God in such a manner as to feel themselves
drawn to the Tabernacle when they enter the church. Their conduct in church and the
way in which they make the geneflection show clearly their weakness and lack of
faith, typical of so many Catholics.

Souls who are well grounded in faith on earth should bear a close resemblance to the
Blessed in Heaven. What the Blessed in Heaven behold unveiled, the same we will
behold on earth in the light of faith, if we are penetrated with a lively sense of the
presence of God.
Lack of a lively faith in the Holy Eucharist is the reason lukewarm Catholic lose their
faith and turn their backs upon the Church. We shall never be able to lead a spiritual
life and attain to familiarity with God, nor draw abundant fruits from Holy
Communion, if the virtue of faith is wanting. And alas, how many are lacking in a
firm, lively faith!
O Faith, thou marvelous virtue! O sublime virtue, how little art thou known! Oh, let
us pray for a most fervent, lively faith! Then will the Holy Eucharist be our life and
our All, and our souls will be enriched with heavenly treasures. The just man lives by
faith. Experience has proved that lukewarmness in devotion to the Most Blessed
Sacrament precedes indifference to the practice of one’s holy religion.
A Pledge of Life Everlasting
There is a magic word that never fails to open the doors of God’s mercy; a mighty
river that carries all who sail thereon unto the borders of the Promised Land. There is
a spreading palm tree whose cooling shade protects the weary exile from the scorching heat of the noonday sun, a shining star that guides the wanderer to the wished-for
goal. There is a heavenly dew that infuses new life into the limbs of the struggling
pilgrim, a living tree whose wood sweetens the bitter waters of this valley of tears and
reminds those who taste it of the heavenly Palestine. There is an unfailing Sacrifice
whose clouds of incense ever soar aloft and spend themselves before the throne of the
Most High.
This magic word, this mighty river, this spreading palm tree,
this unfailing Sacrifice is the Holy Eucharist.
The Holy Eucharist! Let those who will, seek a more sure
pledge against death––there is none to be found. “Heaven and
earth shall pass,” said He who spoke as never man spoke.
“Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not
pass” (Matthew 24:35). None of His words will pass away,
and what is more: “If any man eat of this bread he shall live
forever” (John 6:52).
With this unfailing promise enshrined in our hearts, our eyes shall look calmly even
upon death itself. Thy power, O Death, is broken! The Holy Eucharist has vanquished
thee. “O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?” (I Corinthians
15:55).

ENGLISH AND WELSH MARTYRS

January 2016
Blessed Cuthbert Mayne
C
uthbert Mayne was born at Youlston,
near Barnstaple in Devonshire. He was
brought up outside the Church, and
became a heretical minister at the age of
nineteen. He then went to Oxford, where he
took the degree of M.A. at St John’s College in
1570. After he had passed several years there,
some friends – who had left Oxford in order to
avoid heresy, and among whom was Blessed
Edmund Campion, that afterwards was a martyr
– persuaded him to yield to the Catholic Church and to pass over to the
seminary at Douai, in France. There he devoted himself to the study of
theology, and took the degree of Bachelor; he was ordained Priest, and
in the year 1576 he was sent to England along with Blessed John
Payne, who also was afterwards a martyr, by William Allen, the
President of the College. Each of them prepared himself for the
ministry of souls, by the health-giving exercises of St. Ignatius.
He went into Cornwall to see to the souls left among the heretics, and
took up his abode in the house of a most godly Catholic named Francis
Tregian, whose steward he was supposed to be. But he had only
worked for one year when he fell into the hands of the heretics. The
High Sheriff, Grenville, came with a body of armed men on 8 June,
1577 to the house of Master Tregian. The sheriff’s men seized him and
opened the breast of his clothes where they found hung round his neck
a waxen image of the Lamb of God; this they seized and called him a
traitor. He was brought to Launceston, where he was confined in a dark
prison, where he was not only most cruelly loaded with fetters, but
even chained to his bed. When his adversary offered him his choice, to
swear that the Queen was the head of the English Church, or to be
executed, he kissed the Holy Bible and said that the Queen never had
been, was not, and never would be the head of the English Church.

After about three months Cuthbert was convicted by a jury and
condemned to death, ostensibly for having in his possession a Papal
Bull, blessed beads, and waxen figures of the lamb of God, but in
reality because he was a Catholic priest. He remained in prison until
the arrival of the royal warrant for his execution. He was warned by a
servant three days before to make ready for the end. He thanked him
heartily and thenceforth gave himself up wholly to the consideration of
things heavenly. On the night of 27 November his cell was seen by the
other prisoners to be full of a strange bright light. They shouted out to
enquire about the light.. “It pertaineth not to thee,” they were told.
On 29 November He was drawn by a hurdle to the place of execution
in the town square at Launceston; at the gallows he knelt down and
prayed for the help of God, and thereafter went up the ladder, and when
the noose was round his neck was fain to speak to the people but the
justices hindered him. While he was commending his spirit into the
hands of God after the example of the Saviour, he was turned off the
ladder, and when he had hung a little while the rope was cut, his inner
parts were taken out, and he was quartered. Thus did he give up his
soul to the Chief Shepherd, being the first martyr among the Papal
students. Gregory XIII first permitted the same honours to be paid to
him as are given to martyrs, and Leo XIII confirmed the same. The
hangman is said to have died raving mad a month after the execution of
the proto-martyr of the English College, Douai.

KINDNESS: THE BLOOM OF CHARITY
12
January 2016
By this rubric giving thoughts on Fraternal Charity, the Crusaders
ought to find help in the practice of their motto: Pray—Make
sacrifices—Receive Holy Communion—Be an Apostle. Indeed, these
four practices are simply four ways of practising the great virtue of
Charity, which is the link of perfection. These thoughts can be used,
as well, as source of meditation for knights and handmaids.
Reflection on Kindness
I
f we reflect upon it, kindness is but the outcome and exemplar of the divine
precept: “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” There is nothing we personally so much appreciate as kindness. We like others to think of us kindly, to speak
to us kindly, and to render us kindly actions and in a kindly manner. Now we should
know how to put ourselves in the place of others, and thus we should testify to them
that kindliness that we value so much ourselves.
When our divine Lord came down upon earth, He came not only to save us by
shedding His blood for us, but to teach us by His example how to cooperate with Him
in extending the kingdom of His Father. And one of the most powerful means which
He employed for this purpose was kindness, gentleness, and forbearance. “The
goodness and kindness of God our Saviour appeared,” by which words we learn that
kindness is not altogether synonymous with goodness, but, as it were, a luster, a
bloom, an attraction superadded to it.
We might regard this sweet reflection from the Heart of Jesus from many points of
view, but it is especially under one aspect that we have been considering it; namely,
as a powerful weapon in our hands for the efficacious exercise of our apostolate.
Kindly thoughts of others will be productive of prayer in their regard, at once fervent
and affectionate – prayer such as the loving Heart of Jesus willingly listens to; kindly
words and deeds will draw souls to the love of Him whose spirit they behold so
attractively reproduced in His members. As the wood-violets give forth their perfume
from beneath the brush-wood that conceals them from view, telling us of their unseen
nearness, so kindness reveals to us the nearness of Jesus, the sweetness of Whose
spirit is thus breathed forth.
Such is the kindness which is that great missioner sent by the Heart of Jesus to
exercise an apostolate of love upon earth, and so to promote the glory of God and the
salvation of souls. To exercise this apostolate will be the endeavour of all true lovers
of the divine Heart, and thus they will reproduce and perpetuate the life of the Heart
of Jesus upon earth, so that it may be said of them: “The goodness and kindness of
God our Saviour has appeared” in His members.

HOLY SOULS CORNER
January 2016
13
B
y an extraordinary favour an angel conducted me
deep into Purgatory. There I could see amid the searing flames a poor soul suffering excruciating agonies.
In my compassion for him in these terrible sufferings I could
just discern that he was repeating over and over the Holy
name of Jesus. I understood that, when he was on earth, he was in the habit of taking Our
Lord’s Holy Name in vain. This particular blasphemy was punished by his having to
repeat with the utmost reverence, the Holy name over an inordinate length of time.
We on earth can help souls suffering this type of punishment by repeating the Holy Name
with love and reverence specifically for such Holy Souls. Recitation of Jesus Psalter is an
excellent method of honouring the Holy Name. It is composed of fifteen petitions. The
Holy Name should be repeated with great reverence, and each petition said with perfect
recollection.
"There is no other Name under heaven given to men whereby we may be saved."
(Acts 4:12.)
The Jesus Psalter is believed to have been composed in England by the Brigittine monk,
Richard Whitford, who called himself "the Wretch of Sion." This devotion was near and
dear to the hearts of English Catholics in the days of persecution. It was printed and sold
separately as early as 1520.
Tenth Petition
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - send me here my purgatory.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - send me here my purgatory.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - send me here my purgatory.
Jesus, send me here my purgatory, and so prevent the torments of that cleansing fire which
attend those souls in the next world, that have not been sufficiently purged in this.
Vouchsafe to grant me those merciful crosses and afflictions, which Thou seest as necessary for
the taking off my affections from all things here below.
Since no-one can see Thee who loveth anything which is not for Thy sake, suffer not my heart
to find here any rest but in sighing after Thee.
Too bitter, alas! will be the anguish of a soul that is separated from Thee, that desireth, but
cannot come to Thee, being clogged with the heavy chains of sin.
Here then, O my Saviour, keep me continually mortified in this world; that being thoroughly
purified by the fire of Thy Love, I may immediately pass hence into Thine everlasting possessions.
Have mercy on all sinners, O Jesus, I beseech Thee; turn their vices into virtues and, making
them true observers of Thy law and sincere lovers of Thee, bring them to bliss in everlasting
glory.
Have mercy also on the souls in Purgatory, for Thy bitter Passion, I beseech Thee, and for Thy
glorious Name, Jesus.
O Blessed Trinity, one Eternal God, have mercy on me.
Our Father ... Hail Mary ...
"At the Name of Jesus, let every knee bow, of things in heaven, of things on earth, and
of things under the earth; and let every tongue confess that Our Lord Jesus Christ is in
the glory of God the Father"

MY CATHOLIC FAITH
Chapter 21. Actual Sin
Christ permitted Himself to be tempted by the devil. After Our Lord's
forty days' fast in the desert, the devil appeared to Him and tempted
Him to gluttony, to pride, and to avarice. But Our Lord resisted the
devil and sent him away. Then angels came to minister to Him. God wishes to show us that temptation, far
from being a sin in itself, is a source of merit if we resist firmly. Then God will send us His blessings and
consolations, and we shall be dearer to Him after our successful fight against temptation.
What is actual sin?
Actual sin is any wilful thought, desire, word, action, or omission forbidden by the law of God.
1.
There are two general classes of sins: original and actual. Original sin is the kind of sin
that we inherit from Adam. Actual sin is the kind of sin that we ourselves commit. In
general, when we speak of "sin" we mean actual sin.
Sin is an offense against God, a violation of His commandments. To sin is to despise God, to disobey Him, to
offend Him. One who sins takes the gifts that God has given, and uses them to insult Him.
2.
No person exists who does not sin, however holy he may be. The only human being who
was created without sin, and never committed sin, was the Blessed Virgin; this was a
special privilege bestowed on her because she was to be the Mother of our Saviour.
St. John says: "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8).
In what way do we fall into sin?
We fall step by step from temptation into sin.
The different steps at times follow each other rapidly and are accomplished in the twinkling of
an eye.
1.
Sin is not committed without temptation. First an evil thought comes
into the mind. This in itself is not sinful; it is only a temptation.
A man may be in a jewellery store looking at some jewels. The salesman turns away to talk
to someone else, leaving a precious diamond ring on the counter. The thought enters the
man's mind that it would be easy for him to take the ring and walk away unnoticed. This is
temptation, not sin.
2.
If we do not immediately reject the thought, it awakens in the mind an affection or liking
for it.
If the man in the above example does not resist and reject the thought, but plays with it, and becomes pleased with
the idea, he thereby gives partial consent, and commits a slight sin.
3.
Next the thought is followed by an evil desire in which we take pleasure.
If, still playing with the thought, the man wishes that he could take the diamond ring without being noticed, the
consent is complete, and he commits a sin in his heart (interiorly).
4.
The resolution to commit the sin when occasion presents itself follows. Then the exterior
act is committed.
Finally, tile man glances to see if the salesman is still busy. Then he takes the ring and walks away with it. Thus the
wish or desire has been translated into an exterior act. Even should the man be prevented from stealing, he is guilty
of grave sin.
