St. Casimir
Feast Day: March 4
Casimir grew up in a world where his life was not his
own. As a prince of Poland, the second son of King
Casimir IV and Elizabeth of Austria, his life was
scheduled to cement his father's authority and increase
Poland's power.
Casimir realized from an early age that his life belonged to someone else, but to a much higher King
than his father. Despite pressure, humiliation, and
rejection, he stood by that loyalty through his whole
life.
Born the third of thirteen children in 1461, Casimir
was committed to God from childhood. Some of that
commitment was the result of a tutor, John Dlugosz,
whose holiness encouraged Casimir on his own journey.
It may be hard for us to imagine royal luxury as a
pressure. But for Casimir, the riches around him were
temptations to forget his true loyalties. Rebelling
against the rich, fashionable clothes he was expected
to enjoy, he wore the plainest of clothes.
Rejecting even ordinary comforts, he slept little,
spending his nights in prayer. And when he did sleep,
he lay on the floor, not on a royal bed. Even though he
was a prince, many of those around him must have
laughed and joked at his choices. Yet, in the face of
any pressure, Casimir was always friendly and calm.
Though his father must have wondered about him, he
must have seen and admired Casimir's strength. He
showed that he misunderstood this strength when he
sent Casimir as head of an army to take over the throne
of Hungary at the request of some nobles there. Casimir felt the whole expedition was wrong but was
convinced to go out of obedience to his father. He
could not help but feel at every step that it was disobedient to his other Father. So when soldiers started
deserting, he was only too glad to listen to the advice
of his officers and turn back home. His feelings were
confirmed when he discovered that Pope Sixtus IV had
opposed the move.
His father, however, was furious at being deterred
from his plans and banished Casimir to a castle in
Dobzki, hoping that imprisonment would change
Casimir's mind. Casimir's commitment to what he
believed was right only grew stronger in his exile and
he refused to cooperate with his father's plans any
more despite the pressure to give in. He even rejected
a marriage alliance his father tried to form. He participated in his true King's plans wholeheartedly by praying, studying, and helping the poor.
He died at the age of 23 in 1484 from lung disease. He
was buried with his favorite song, a Latin hymn to
Mary called "Omni die dic Mariae" which we know as
"Daily, Daily Sing to Mary." Because of his love for
the song, it is known as the Hymn of St. Casimir
though he didn't write it.
Relacion Personal con Jesus
Personal Relationship with Jesus
En medio de la cuaresma la Iglesia nos regala el
Evangelio de la transfiguración. Este evangelio es
un llamado a la vida contemplativa, a la oración.
En estos tiempos solo serán llamados de verdad
cristianos, los que tienen una relación personal
con Jesucristo. La relación con Dios nace y crece
con el trato; uno comienza a rezar todos los días,
cada uno a su manera: hay gente que le gusta
rezar el rosario, a otros rezar la Coronia a la
Divina Misericordia, a otros leer un Salmo, otros
con una meditación, cada quien tiene su estilo.
Despues viene el compromiso: en tu hogar, el
apostolado, ya quieres ser servidor etc. En el caso
mio fue irme al seminario, Uno siempre da un
paso mas para amar a Dios. Despues de esto llega
el matrimonio espiritual, es decir, un conocimiento mas profundo. En el matrimonio después de 15
anos, ya no se dicen nada, una mirada basta, ya se
conocen, las palabras sobran.Y con Dios es igual,
llega un momento que la oración es un puro silencio, un puro amor.
In the middle of lent the Church gives us the Gospel
of the Transfiguration. This Gospel is a call to the
contemplative life of prayer. This is the only time we
will be called true Christians, the ones who have a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A relationship with God is born and grows with treatment; one
begins to pray every day, each in their own way:
there are people who like to pray the Rosary, others
pray The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy, others read a
Psalm, others with a meditation but each has their
style. Then comes the commitment: in your home,
the apostolate, or maybe the server you want to become etc. In my case it was to go to the seminar, one
always goes a step further to love God. After this
comes the spiritual marriage, in other words, a more
in-depth knowledge. In a marriage after 15 years,
there is no need for words, a gaze is enough, and they
already know. It is the same with God; there comes a
time that prayer is pure silence, a pure love.
Todos estamos llamados a la vida contemplativa,
a la vida de unión con Dios. Y en la oración hay
tres etapas.
1. Estapa Purgativa: Con Dios hay un momento de oración, alabanza y gloria, pero pronto
aparece la purificacion, pues uno viene arrastrando rencores, heridas, impurezas, malas
inclinaciones, entonces, lo primero que Dios
hace es limpiarnos, y en esa limpieza hay dolor. El quiere mostrarte su gloria, pero hay que
morir. También, cuando Dios no responde,
cuando lloramos, los santos le han llamado el
"desierto espiritual"; cuando uno dice: ”Dios
mio porque me has abandonado”. Santa Teresa
decía: “Asi tratas a tus amigos… por eso tienes
tan poquitos”.
2. Etapa Iluminativa: Despues que ya ha pasado el examen de la limpieza, viene lo mejor. Es
en este camino cuando usted tiene sueños, Dios
le va iluminando, “esto tienes que hacer…”
Usted encuentra un texto bíblico y luego entiende; de todas formas usted se entera que
Dios le esta hablando. Hay gente que en esta
etapa, Dios le da: una vision, una profesia,
hasta una levitación. Pero Santa Teresa decía:
“lo mas grande que uno puede tener en
oración, es querer lo que Dios quiere”.
3. Etapa Unitiva: Jesus dijo: “quien me ha
visto a mi ha visto al Padre”. Algo asi como
cuando las personas veian en San Juan Pablo
II, la gente lloraba, les transmitia a Dios. O una
madre Teresa de Calcutta, limpiando un leproso y dándole de comer. Un dia le dice un leproso a Madre Teresa: “Porque ase esto.. ella responde: porque te amo… y el leproso le dice: Si Dios tuviera rostro se parecería a usted”. A
esa etapa hay que anhelar, que estemos tan
unidos a Cristo, que los demás vean en usted a
Cristo. Admiro a esas padres estregados a sus
hijos, cuando veo a una hija dando de comer o
banando a su mama. A eso estamos llamados,
a unirnos tanto a Dios hasta decir como Pedro:
“Hagamos tres chozas”.
We are all called to a contemplative life, the life of
union with God. And there are three stages in prayer.
1. Purgative Stage: With God there is a moment of
prayer, praise and glory, but soon purification
begins. We’ve been dragging grudges, wounds,
impurities, bad inclinations, so the first thing God
does is to cleanse us, and in that cleansing comes
pain. He wants to show you his glory, but for that
we must die. Also, when God doesn't answer,
when we cry, the saints have called this the
"spiritual desert"; when one says: "my God why
have you forsaken me". St. Teresa said, “If this is
how You treat Your friends, it is no wonder You
have so few.”
2. Illuminative Stage: After you have passed the
test of cleansing, comes the best. In this path
you’ll start having dreams. God will illuminate
you, "this is what you need to do..." Maybe you’ll
find a biblical text and you will begin to understand; in any way you learn that God is speaking
to you. There are people who at this stage, God
gives: a vision, a prophecy even a levitation. But
St. Teresa said, "The greatest thing one can have
in prayer, is to desire what God wants.”
3. United Stage: Jesus said, "Whoever has seen
me, has seen the Father.” Almost something like
when people saw Saint John Paul II, people wept,
God was transmitted within him. Or a Mother
Teresa of Calcutta, cleaning and feeding a leper.
One day a leper tells Mother Teresa, "Why do you
do this?” She responds by saying, “…because I
love you” and the leper tells her, “If God had a
face He would look like you.” At this stage that
we yearn for to be so united with Christ, let’s hope
that others see Christ in you. I admire those parents bonded with their children, when I see a
daughter feeding or bathing her mother. To that
we are called, to unite with God so far as to say as
Peter: "Let us make three shelters".
Casimir is patron saint of Poland and Lithuania.
