his usual readiness, and when he asked
their errand, they answered that they
were looking for Phocas. and begged his
help. The servant of God invited them
to rest there that night, promising to be
their guide next day. After they had re-
tired to rest he dug his own grave, made
everything ready for his burial, and pre-
pared his soul for death.
When the morning broke, and the lictors
ready tn set out again, asked his assistance
to find Phocas, "I" said the Saint, "am be,
''do what you have to do" tuspite of
their amazement and horror at staining
their hands with the blood of their host,
they obeyed the order given them. They
severed his head from his body, and re-
warded him unawares for his hospitality
by procuring him the martyr's crown.
Rome, parts of his relics were placed in
other churches, and devotion to him spread
all over the world. The sailors on the
Black Sea and the Mediterranean chose
him as their special patron. The Saint
often came to help them in their need, and
they preserved by q pious and touching
custom the memory of his epecal virtue
Day by day on their voyage they used to
set aside portion of each meal for the
martyr, nor would they touch it themselves
till they had laid by the email coin which
was it's equivalent. Ga reaching port they
distributed the whole sum thus collected
among the poor.

A WONDERFUL CHAPEL AT VERSAILLES
"A great work, of which Catholic France
may we'll be proud, has recently been com
pleted at Versailles. 1t is the chapel of
1899. in the reign of King Louis xiv, by
the great architect Mansard, aud was fin-
ished on May II. I70S. the very day of
Mansard's death. In 1910 Mgr. de Noailles,
Archbishop of Paris, consecrated this
chapel to st. Louis, King of France, whose
relics were deposited in sacred stones be.
meath the high altar. 1t rebounds to the
glory of the late National Assembly, in
which the Catholic element predominated,
to have voted the restoration of this beau
tiful edifice. This was to have been the
forerunner of the restoration of the dynas,
ty of st. Louis, which in the idea of many
is yet to come. On Thursday, June 18Th,
the achievement of this great work was
celebrated at Versailles by solemn re-
ligious service.

ST. ROSE OF LIMA.

SIs ROSE OF LIMA
This lovely flower of ssnctity, the fret
| canonized Saint of the New World, was
born ae Lima in 1886. She was christened
Isabel, but the beauty of her infant face
earned for her the title of Rose, which che
ever after bore. As child, while still in
the cradle, her silence under painful sur
gical operation proved the thirst for suffer
ing already consuming her heart. At an
early age she took service to support her
impoverished parents, and worked for
them day and night. In spite of hardships
and austerities, her beauty riceced with
increasing age, and she was much and
openly admired. From fear of vanity sbe
cut off her hair, blistered her face with
pepper and her bands with lime. For
further security she enrolled herself in
the Third Order of st. Dominic, took St.
Catharine of Sena as her model, and re-
doubled her penapce. Her cell was gar
den hut, her couch a box of broken tiles.
More than once when she shuddered at the
prospect of a night of torture, a voice
said, "My Cross was yet more painful"
The Blessed Sacrament seemed almost
her only food. Her love for 1t was in
tense. When the Dutch feet prepared to |
attack the town Rose took her place before |
the tabernacle, and wept that she was not !
worthy to die in Its defence. All her suf-
sinners, and the thought of the multitudes
in he'll was ever before her soul. She died
A. p. 1917, at the age of thirty-one.

By her veil, silver crown armed with

ST. GENEsIUs, MARTYR.

o4. OEN EoAOog 1AAhA rs
st. Genesius lie the patron of Aries, the
city of his birth and of his martyrdom,
which took place about the beginning OF
the fourth century. He was young and
still o catechumen when Christ perfected
him once for all in the baptism of blood.
He was employed as a writer in the law
courts, and he was there one day when the
impious DEGREES which the emperor had
issued for the persecution of the Church
were read aloud. 1t was the business of
Genesius to copy them out, but he had
NO heart to hear or write the words of
sacrilege.
He flung down his tablets at the feet of
the judge, and fed, faithful to the pre-
cept of our Lord. from the penalty that
was sure to follow. Again and again he
changed his hiding place, till the persecu-
tors gave orders that he was to be slain at
once wherever he might be found. During
this time he sought the sacrament of Bap
tism, but was still waiting for it when
overtaken by the enemy. He fed towards
the Rhone, flung himself into the stream,
and had just reached the other bank when
he was struck down by the sword. In one
moment he became a member of the church
on earth for which he shed his blood and
passed to the Church of the first born
whose names are written in heaven.
Prosecutions pass away, but yet the
Church.o Christ endures, and those who
have loved her best are held even upon
earth in perpetual honor. In the time of
Genesius the city of Aries stood upon
either side of the Rhone. The stain of
his blood was preserved on the side where
he fell his relics were enshrined upon the
other, in order that each part of the city
might secure his patronage. Two illustri-
GUS bishops of the city, st. Honoratus and
Isl. Hilary, were buried by his side as in
b sacred place. The latter OF these tells
ms that about the year 427 he saw a bridge
over the Rhone break under the multitude
who were crossing they were saved from
Browning by the invocation of st. Gene
1sius.

ST. JOSEPH CALAsANCrIUs.

81 st. Joseph Calasanctius was born in
! fArragon, A. d. 1856. When only FIVE years
old he led q troop of children through the
etreets to find the devil aud kill him. He
Became priest and was engaged in vari-
Dus reforms, when he heard voice eayinp,
sGo to Rome" and had a vision of many
children who were being taught by him
Ind by q company of angels. When he
teached the Holy City, his heart was
moved by the vice and ignorance of the
ehildren of the poor. Their need mastered
hie humility, aud he founded the Order of
Clerks Regular of the Pious Schools. He
hinself provided all that was necessary
for the education of the children, receiv-
ing nothing from them in payment, and
sshere were soon above thousand scholars
fevery rank under his care. Each Lesson

Nbpe and charity, and towards the end of
Nehool time the children were instructed
tn the Christian doctrine. They were
then escorted home by the masters, 30 as to
eseape all harm by the way. But enemies
rose against Joseph from among his own
9ubjects. They accused him to the holy
Office, and at the age of eighty six he was
fcd through the streets to prison. At last the
Order was reduced to a simple congregs-
ZION. 1t was not restored to it's former
privileges till after the Saints death. Yet
be died full Of hope. My work, he said, |
fswas done solely for the love of God"
Soon after the Pious Schools were found !
ed, bishop was passing by q garden in |
Rome when he heard the voice of little |
ehild reciting an act of contrition. He |
burned and saw the child's father hanging
rom a tree in imminent peril. The at
sendants rescued the father, and then the
bishop asked the child where he had learn
ia the prayer. The boy said that he went
Ia the pious schools, where he was taught
III every danger to make an act of contri-
fIon to God. Thus did his children con.
