VEN. URSULA BENJNCAsA.

Ursula was consecrated at3her birth to
Mary Immaculate whose glory she was to
spread among men. Being left early an
orphan, she lived with her brother and
sister in extreme hardships, yet she was
always willing and cheerful she would
leave her sick-bed to carry her brother
his dinner and the three children Thus
led, with no other guidance. lives of
religious exactness and prayer. As she
toiled at her loom, she had the picture of
Mary before her, and was constantly rapt
in ecstacy by visions Of the Mother of God.
On the death Of her brother she retired to
a cell at Mt. st. Elmo, above Naples, her
native city, where by her extraordinary
Influence che caused q church to be built
in honor of Mary Immaculate. Moved by
the Spirit of God, she visited Gregory XIII
at Rome, and declared that unless peHance
were done God would scourge the world
for its sins. st. Philip Neri was charged
to try her spirit he treated her as an
impostor, kept her in close confinement,
had her head shaved, exercised her daily,
and severely punished her for her constant
ecstacies. After seven months of search
ing trials he formally approved her sane
tity, and with his usual holy pay fulness
crowned her With his biretta ia token of
her victory. U,snls, foil of gratitude to
Philip, returned to Naples, and there iksti-
tuted q Congregation Of the Theatine nuns

Once when U,snla was in ecstacy on
the feast of the Fabrication our Lady
appeared with the Divine Child in her arms
clothed in a white robe and light blue
mantle, and surrounded by maidens in like
dress. "Weep no more, Ursula," she said
"but listen to what my Jesus and yours
will cay to you" The Holy Child then
told her of the Order she was to found, of
it's rule, and what blessings were to be
gained by wearing the blue habit. Ursula
thereupon asked whether devout servants
of Mary Immaculate, living in the world,
might not have like benefits, and knew
her prayer was granted when she saw
angels scattering sespulars about the earth.
To gain the indulgences it is sufficient to
be duly enrolled, and to wear the scapular
bat immense additional indulgences can
be obtained by reciting six Paters, Aces,
and Glorias in honor of the Holy Trinity
and of Mary conceived without sin.

ST. PETER CHRYsoLoGUs.


Peter WAS born at Imola near Revenna.
He was brought up as = monk by Cornelius,
his spiritual father, who afterwards, when
Bishop of Imola, ordained him deacon. On
the death of John, the Archbishop of Ra-
VIENNA, the clergy and people elected sue
cessor, and sent deputies to Rome to gain
the Pope's confirmation of their choice.
But the Pope, warned by a heavenly vision,
cancelled their election, and appointed
Peter instead. The life of the new arch
bishop was henceforth that of q zealo1s
pastor, preaching earnestly on fasting,
almsgiving, and the frequentation OF the
Sacraments, and practising what he taught.
A single incident in hard-wOrking but
uneventful life illustrates his simple faith.
The heresiarch Eutyehes had written cir
cUlar letters to the Western bishops in ap-
peal against his condemnation. "We ex-
submit Obediently TO all that is written by
the most blessed Pope. st. Peter, V no
lives and presiden in his own see, gives to
all who seek it the true faith" Peter is
chiefly famous for his sermOns-short,
pitby, and full Of solid instruction. These
golden spesch,) not because he pleased the
ear with more 0lOQuence, but because his
words were good, true, and Of priceless
worth. He preached often, sometimes
thrice in day but his sermons were never
long. He reApsd the reward OF his apostle
late about the year 450.
st. Peter once broke OF in the middle Of
q sermon as If struck dumb. The people,
seeing something amiss, began to weep and
pray for him. In . subsequent sermon the
holy preacher. when discoursing on the
9umbnesS Of Zachary took occasion to
draw q lesson from what had befallen
himself. "Sermons," he said, "unlike all
other speeches, are tho word of God. They
are not under the command of man, but of
God. God bestOwS facility of speech and

ST. FRANCIS XAVIER.

A young Spanish gentleman, in the dan
gerous days of the r sformatiop, was max
ing o name for himself as professor of
philosophy in the University of Paris. He
had seemingly no higher aim, when St.
Ignatius of Loyola won him to heavenly
thoughts. Then, and forever after, Fran
cs gave himself unreservedly to gain souls
to God. After brief spostolate amongst
his countrymen in Rome, he was sent by
st. Ignatius to the Indies, where for twelve
years, like another st. Paul, he was to
wear himself ont, bearing the gospel to
Though vested with the dignity of Nuncio
Apostolic and Superior over his religious
brethren, he only used his authority to take
for himself the largest share of the tolls
and dangers of the work. Thwarted by
the jealousy, covetousness and carelessn ess
of those who should have helped and en-
couraged him, neither their opposition nor
the difficulties of every sort which he
encountered could make him slacken his
labors for souls. He was ever preaching,
baptising, hearing confessions, discussing
with the learned, instructiDg the ignorant;
and yet all this was done with the greatest
pains, as the elaborate instructions and
the long letters which he has left behind
prove. The vast kingdom of China ap.
pealed to his charity, and he " as resolved
to risk HIS life to force an entry, when
God took him to Himself, and he died,
like Moses, in sight of the land of promise
A Portuguese gentleman once sailed in
the same ship with St. Francis Xavier,
and was very anxious to see the famous
missionary. Great was his disappoiutme mt
on being shown a person standing in a
group round chess- table, chatting fami
liarly with the soldiers, crew and passen
gers like any ordinary priest. At the end
of the voyage, however, he sent his servant
to see what became of him. Francis went
aside into a wood and began to pray, and
the servant soon ran to call his master to
see the Saint in an ecstacy lifted from the
ground in his prayers.

ST. THEODoRET, MARTYR.

SIs 1hhSDonbAb "AR44hs
About the year 36I Julian, uncle to the
emperor of that name, aud like his nephew
an apostate was made Count of the East.
He closed the Christian churches at Anti
ooh, and when st. Theodoret assembled
the Christians in private, he was summon
ed before the tribunal of the count. The
only charge against him was his zeal for
the house of God and when he refused to
offer the beathen sacrifices, he was basti-
padoed, struck in the face, and tortored
again and again, till the blood streamed
from his aides. But for himself be feared
neither death nor torments, and it was
the prosecutors who had cause to fear 80
most wretcbed man." he said to his judge,
"yol know we'll that at the day of judg-
ment the crucifisd God whom yon bias
pheme will send you and the tyrant whom
you serve to hell" And God did indeed
strike the ministers of iniquity with fear.
The executioners who came to burn the
side Of the martyr with lighted torches saw
four angels standing by him clothed in
white they refused to do their Office, con-
fessed the faith, and were cast into the sea
rather than renoapee it. Julian himself,
though he hardened his heart, trembled
when Theodoret prophesied the awful
death which was soon to evertake him,
and was glad to rid himself of the Saints
presence. He had him despatched quickly
BY the sword, and in little while the
Judge bimsetf was arraigned before the
Judgment seat of God.
"You, o Julian" said Theodoret, "will
die in torments on your bed. Your master
is setting out in hope Of victory against
the Persians. He will never return he
will be slain in strange land, and no one
will be able to tell who struck the blow"
This prophecy met with terrible fulfill
ment. Shortly after, Count Julian went
from an idolatrous sacrifice to his own
houaa and died eaten by Worms. with cir
cumstances too horrible to relate. The
emperor was struck down by a strsy ar
row in the Persian war, and died, as the
acts of st. Theodoret tell us, confessing
that Christ had conquered, and yet bias
phemiug Him to the last.
