SUMMARY:1815: Founding of Sisters of Charity by Mary Aikenhead
DESCRIPTION:“In 1815\, Mary Aikenhead\, with Alicia Walsh\, after completing their novitiate\, founded the Religious Sisters of Charity in Ireland. They were the first\, so-called Walking Nuns who visited the sick in their homes and tried to alleviate the wide spread poverty.  Mother Mary Aikenhead’s dependence on Divine Providence – “God will provide” – was the driving force in all that she achieved for God’s poor. This is the legacy the Sisters of Charity of Australia hold dear.” Sisters of Charity\, Australia

SUMMARY:Saint Peter Claver
DESCRIPTION:“When he was 29 years old\, Peter left his home in Spain and went to Cartagena (in what is now Colombia)\, South America. There he continued his studies and was ordained a priest. Cartagena was the main market for the slave trade in the New World. Whenever a ship carrying Africans arrived in port\, Peter was there. He would hurry down with a jug of water\, and a basket full of medicine\, fruit\, bread\, and clothing. His first concern was to tend to their human needs — to ease their suffering and somehow restore their sense of dignity. He saw the suffering Jesus in the people he served.  A man of deep prayer\, unbounded energy\, and steady devotion\, Peter Claver realized that it was his relationship with Christ that nourished his spirit and gave him the courage to go on when so many problems surrounded his work. When he died the city that had opposed so many of his efforts honored him.” Loyola Press\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\nToday is a good day to learn more about modern slavery.   \n\n\n\nAnti Slavery Australia provides free legal services for those in situations of modern slavery\, undertakes research and advocacy\, and provides training and capacity building for organisations working against modern slavery. \n\n\n\nThe Anti-Slavery Taskforce of the Sydney Archdiocese helps church organisations to eliminate slavery from their supply chains. \n\n\n\nPray\n\n\n\nO God\, who made Saint Peter Claver a slave of slaves\nand strengthened him with wonder charity and patience\nas he came to their help\, \ngrant\, through his intercession\, that\,\nseeking the things of Jesus Christ\,\nwe may love our neighbor in deeds and in truth. \nThrough our Lord Jesus Christ\, your Son\,\nwho lives and reigns with you\nin the unity of the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever.\nAmen

SUMMARY:1981: Pope John Paul II's encyclical Laborem Exercens ('On Human Work')
DESCRIPTION:“Pope John Paul II issued Laborem Exercens to mark the ninetieth anniversary of Rerum Novarum. It is also known by the English title On Human Labour. John Paul II’s own experience as a manual labourer and his personalist philosophical ethics shape this social encyclical. \n\n\n\nUnemployment and the impact of technology on work are major concerns of this encyclical. As well as affirming a right to work\, to a just wage\, and to form unions\, Laborem Exercens introduces the concept of an ‘indirect employer’… \n\n\n\nLaborem Exercens concludes with a spirituality of work. This spirituality focuses on the role of work in the transformation of nature and in personal fulfillment\, the provision of the basis of family life\, and contributing to the common good. John Paul II values the subjective over the objective dimensions of work. Work is valuable because it is the free act of a human person who is a subject and not an object.” \n\n\n\nSandie Cornish\, Introduction to Laborem Exercens\, Social Spirituality.

SUMMARY:Saint Robert Bellarmine
DESCRIPTION:Robert Bellarmine was a Jesuit scholar who was eventually made a Cardinal. His major work Disputations on the Controversies of the Christian Faith\, helped to discredit the divine right of kings theory.

SUMMARY:Saint Vincent de Paul
DESCRIPTION:“Love the poor. Honour them\, my children\, as you would honour Christ himself.” – St Vincent de Paul \n\n\n\nThe St Vincent de Paul Society website explains that as a young man\, “St Vincent de Paul ministered to the wealthy and powerful. However an appointment as chaplain to a poor parish\, and to galley prisoners\, inspired him to a vocation of working with those most marginalised and powerless. Vincent urged his followers to bring God’s justice and love to people who were unable to live a full human life: ‘Deal with the most urgent needs. Organise charity so that it is more efficient…teach reading and writing\, educate with the aim of giving each the means of self-support. Intervene with authorities to obtain reforms in structure… there is no charity without justice‘.” \n\n\n\nSt Vincent de Paul Society was named after him and follows his teachings and compassion for people in need.

SUMMARY:Saints Michael\, Gabriel and Raphael\, Archangels
DESCRIPTION:The Franciscan Media Saint of the Day website notes that “angels—messengers from God—appear frequently in Scripture\, but only Michael\, Gabriel and Raphael are named.” It goes on to explain that “each of the archangels performs a different mission in Scripture: Michael protects; Gabriel announces; Raphael guides”. \n\n\n\nFor reflection:\n\n\n\nWhat are the names of some of the people through whom you experience God’s protection\, communication\, and guidance in your life? Do you ever think of them as angels?

DESCRIPTION:“Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face is the youngest of all the “Doctors of the Church”\, but her ardent spiritual journey shows such maturity\, and the insights of faith expressed in her writings are so vast and profound that they deserve a place among the great spiritual masters.” – Pope John Paul II \n\n\n\nPopularly known as the Little Flower\, Therese of Lisieux was canonized in 1925.

SUMMARY:Our Lady of the Rosary
DESCRIPTION:“The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it a compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus — his birth\, life\, death\, and resurrection. The Our Fathers remind us that Jesus’ Father is the initiator of salvation. The Hail Marys remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence. The Glory Bes remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.” Franciscan Media

SUMMARY:Saint Teresa of Avila\, Doctor of the Church
DESCRIPTION:“Teresa was a woman “for others.” Though a contemplative\, she spent much of her time and energy seeking to reform herself and the Carmelites\, to lead them back to the full observance of the primitive Rule. She founded over a half-dozen new monasteries. She traveled\, wrote\, fought—always to renew\, to reform. In her self\, in her prayer\, in her life\, in her efforts to reform\, in all the people she touched\, she was a woman for others\, a woman who inspired and gave life. Her writings\, especially the Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle\, have helped generations of believers. In 1970\, the Church gave her the title she had long held in the popular mind: Doctor of the Church. She and St. Catherine of Siena were the first women so honored.” Franciscan Media

SUMMARY:Saint Ignatius of Antioch
DESCRIPTION:Born in Syria\, Ignatius converted to Christianity and eventually became bishop of Antioch. Ignatius is well known for the seven letters he wrote on the long journey from Antioch to Rome. Ignatius’s great concern was for the unity and order of the Church. Even greater was his willingness to suffer martyrdom rather than deny his Lord Jesus Christ. He did not draw attention to his own suffering\, but to the love of God which strengthened him. He knew the price of commitment and would not deny Christ\, even to save his own life. \n\n\n\nFranciscan Media

SUMMARY:World Mission Sunday
DESCRIPTION:“Here am I\, send me.” (Is 6:8) \n\n\n\n“Mission is a free and conscious response to God’s call. Yet we discern this call only when we have a personal relationship of love with Jesus present in his Church. Let us ask ourselves: are we prepared to welcome the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives\, to listen to the call to mission\, whether in our life as married couples or as consecrated persons or those called to the ordained ministry\, and in all the everyday events of life? Understanding what God is saying to us at this time of pandemic also represents a challenge for the Church’s mission. Illness\, suffering\, fear and isolation challenge us… The celebration of World Mission Day is an occasion for reaffirming how prayer\, reflection and the material help of your offerings are so many opportunities to participate actively in the mission of Jesus in his Church. The charity expressed in the collections that take place during the liturgical celebrations of the third Sunday of October is aimed at supporting the missionary work carried out in my name by the Pontifical Mission Societies\, in order to meet the spiritual and material needs of peoples and Churches throughout the world\, for the salvation of all.” Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for World Mission Day 2020.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRead the full text of the here:

SUMMARY:Saints Simon and Jude
DESCRIPTION:Jesus chose some unlikely people: a former Zealot\, a former (crooked) tax collector\, an impetuous fisherman\, two “sons of thunder\,” and a man named Judas Iscariot. It is a reminder that we cannot receive too often. Holiness does not depend on human merit\, culture\, personality\, effort\, or achievement. It is entirely God’s creation and gift. God needs no Zealots to bring about the kingdom by force. Jude\, like all the saints\, is the saint of the impossible: Only God can create his divine life in human beings. And God wills to do so\, for all of us. \n\n\n\nFranciscan Media

SUMMARY:Saint Charles Borromeo
DESCRIPTION:“Trained in civil and canon law in Pavia\, Charles Borromeo was called to Rome as a young man by his uncle\, Pope Pius IV\, to be secretary of state at the Vatican. “Always clear and precise in his views\, firm in his demeanor\, and constant in the execution of his projects\,” as one biographer has remarked\, he played an important role in convincing Pius to reconvene the Council of Trent\, which sought to address corruption in a sixteenth-century church beleaguered by Protestantism. Under the auspices of that council\, beginning in 1563 Borromeo supervised the writing of an accurate catechism\, rewrote liturgical texts and music\, and began enforcing clerical reform in Rome. Charged with implementing the reforms dictated by the Council of Trent\, Borromeo had to blend tough love and personal integrity.”  Loyola Press

SUMMARY:Saint Leo the Great
DESCRIPTION:“At a time when there is widespread criticism of Church structures\, we also hear criticism that bishops and priests—indeed\, all of us—are too preoccupied with administration of temporal matters. Pope Leo is an example of a great administrator who used his talents in areas where spirit and structure are inseparably combined: doctrine\, peace\, and pastoral care. He avoided an “angelism” that tries to live without the body\, as well as the “practicality” that deals only in externals.” Franciscan Media

SUMMARY:Saint Josaphat
DESCRIPTION:In 1595\, the Orthodox bishop of Brest-Litovsk in present-day Belarus and five other bishops representing millions of Ruthenians\, sought reunion with Rome.
