Kamilus de Lellis lahir di Bocchionico, Italia pada tahun 1550. Ia adalah putra bangsawan militer, de Lellis yang cukup berpengaruh pada saat itu. Ayahnya adalah seorang berperangai kasar dan jarang berada di rumah. Ibunya yang bernama Camilla Compelli de Laureto, meninggal saat ia masih berusia 12 tahun. Kamilus kecil kurang memperoleh perhatian dan kasih sayang, dan ia  tumbuh menjadi seorang anak yang kasar dan sangat nakal.

Saat usia remaja, Ia pernah menjadi tentara di Venesia, tetapi ia kemudian dipecat karena tidak disiplin dan suka berjudi. Keluar dari Militer kebiasaannya berjudi semakin menjadi-jadi sehingga ia jatuh miskin dan menjadi pengemis.

Pada tahun 1574, ia menjadi seorang kuli bangunan di biara Fransiskan Kapusin di Manfredonia. Suasana biara yang tenang dan damai, serta lantunan doa para rahib kapusin rupanya menyentuh jiwanya. Dibiara tersebut Kamilius bertobat. Ia lalu melamar untuk menjadi seorang bruder di biara itu, namun ia ditolak karena kesehatannya yang buruk.

Tidak patah arang, Kamilus kemudian pindah ke kota Roma. Di sana ia bertemu dengan Santo Philipus Neri yang kemudian menjadi bapa pengakuannya. Setelah beberapa lama, Kamilus diterima bekerja di rumah sakit San Giacomo sebagai seorang perawat. Ia ditugaskan untuk merawat orang-orang sakit yang tidak bisa terobati lagi. Kesabaran dan kepeduliannya kepada para pasien menaikkan prestasinya. Dikemudian hari, dengan tidak diduga, Kamilus diangkat menjadi Direktur rumah sakit tersebut.

Semangat pelayanan dan cinta kasihnya kepada para pasien sungguh besar. Ia kemudian berkeputusan untuk membaktikan dirinya lagi bagi pelayanan orang-orang sakit. Kelalaian dan ketidak-pedulian para perawat, bahkan para imam terhadap kepentingan orang-orang sakit mendorong Kamilus semakin menekuni pelayanannya.

Atas nasehat Philipus Neri, Kamilus memutuskan untuk menjadi imam. Untuk itu ia giat belajar dan kemudian ditabhiskan menjadi imam pada tahun 1584 di Roma. Di tahun itu juga Kamilus  mendirikan sebuah tarekat religius baru yang disebut Tarekat Hamba Orang-orang Sakit (Latin : Clerci Regulari Ministeri Infirmaribus) atau yang dikenal sebagai Tarekat Kamilian. Anggota tarekat ini mengabdikan diri pada pelayanan orang-orang sakit. Dua tahun berikutnya Tarekat ini direstui oleh Sri Paus Sixtus V pada tahun 1586, dan pada tahun 1591 Paus Gregorius XIV meningkatkan statusnya menjadi sebuah ordo religius.

Kamilus menjadi pemimpin pertama ordo itu dan membangun biara-biara di Napoli dan kota-kota Italia lainnya. Kepada rekan-rekannya, ia menasehatkan: “Mengabdikan seikhlas-ikhlasnya hingga titik darah yang terakhir, karena Tuhan hadir secara paling nyata di dalam diri orang-orang sakit yang kita layani. Kita ditugaskan Tuhan untuk melayani Dia di dalam diri orang-orang sakit ini.”

Suatu hari sri paus mengunjungi rumah sakit, dimana Kamillius sedang merawat. Karena tidak ganti pakaian, ia dicela, namun ia menjawab: “Bila saya melayani Kristus, saya tidak usah ganti pakaian untuk menerima wakil-Nya.”

Kamilius meninggal dunia pada tanggal 14 Juli 1614 dalam usia 64 tahun. Jenazahnya dikuburkan di gereja Santa Magdalena di Roma. Banyak mukjizat dialami oleh orang-orang yang berdoa dengan perantaraannya. Kamilius dibeatifikasi pada tahun 1742 dan kanonisasi oleh Paus Benediktus XIV pada tahun 1746. Ia dihormati sebagai santo pelindung orang-orang sakit, para perawat dan organisasi-organisasi kesehatan.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha's Story

The blood of martyrs is the seed of saints. Nine years after the Jesuits Isaac Jogues and Jean de Lelande were tomahawked by Iroquois warriors, a baby girl was born near the place of their martyrdom, Auriesville, New York.

Her mother was a Christian Algonquin, taken captive by the Iroquois and given as wife to the chief of the Mohawk clan, the boldest and fiercest of the Five Nations. When she was four, Tekakwitha lost her parents and little brother in a smallpox epidemic that left her disfigured and half blind. She was adopted by an uncle, who succeeded her father as chief. He hated the coming of the Blackrobes—Jesuit missionaries—but could do nothing to them because a peace treaty with the French required their presence in villages with Christian captives. She was moved by the words of three Blackrobes who lodged with her uncle, but fear of him kept her from seeking instruction. Tekakwitha refused to marry a Mohawk brave, and at 19 finally got the courage to take the step of converting. She was baptized with the name Kateri--Catherine--on Easter Sunday.

Now she would be treated as a slave. Because she would not work on Sunday, Kateri received no food that day. Her life in grace grew rapidly. She told a missionary that she often meditated on the great dignity of being baptized. She was powerfully moved by God’s love for human beings and saw the dignity of each of her people.

She was always in danger, for her conversion and holy life created great opposition. On the advice of a priest, Kateri stole away one night and began a 200-mile walking journey to a Christian Indian village at Sault St. Louis, near Montreal.

For three years she grew in holiness under the direction of a priest and an older Iroquois woman, giving herself totally to God in long hours of prayer, in charity, and in strenuous penance. At 23, Kateri took a vow of virginity, an unprecedented act for an Indian woman whose future depended on being married. She found a place in the woods where she could pray an hour a day—and was accused of meeting a man there!

Her dedication to virginity was instinctive: Kateri did not know about religious life for women until she visited Montreal. Inspired by this, she and two friends wanted to start a community, but the local priest dissuaded her. She humbly accepted an “ordinary” life. She practiced extremely severe fasting as penance for the conversion of her nation. Kateri Tekakwitha died the afternoon before Holy Thursday. Witnesses said that her emaciated face changed color and became like that of a healthy child. The lines of suffering, even the pockmarks, disappeared and the touch of a smile came upon her lips. She was beatified in 1980 and canonized in 2012.


Reflection

We like to think that our proposed holiness is thwarted by our situation. If only we could have more solitude, less opposition, better health. Kateri Tekakwitha repeats the example of the saints: Holiness thrives on the cross, anywhere. Yet she did have what Christians—all people—need: the support of a community. She had a good mother, helpful priests, Christian friends. These were present in what we call primitive conditions, and blossomed in the age-old Christian triad of prayer, fasting and almsgiving: union with God in Jesus and the Spirit, self-discipline and often suffering, and charity for her brothers and sisters.

Memorial of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Virgin

Lectionary: 391

Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian.
Leading the flock across the desert, he came to Horeb,
the mountain of God.
There an angel of the LORD appeared to him in fire
flaming out of a bush.
As he looked on, he was surprised to see that the bush,
though on fire, was not consumed.
So Moses decided,
“I must go over to look at this remarkable sight,
and see why the bush is not burned.”

When the LORD saw him coming over to look at it more closely,
God called out to him from the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
He answered, “Here I am.”
God said, “Come no nearer!
Remove the sandals from your feet,
for the place where you stand is holy ground.
I am the God of your father,” he continued,
“the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.
The cry of the children of Israel has reached me,
and I have truly noted that the Egyptians are oppressing them.
Come, now!  I will send you to Pharaoh to lead my people,
the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

But Moses said to God,
“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh
and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
He answered, “I will be with you;
and this shall be your proof that it is I who have sent you:
when you bring my people out of Egypt,
you will worship God on this very mountain.”

Responsorial Psalm

R.    (8a)  The Lord is kind and merciful.
Bless the LORD, O my soul;
    and all my being, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits.
R.    The Lord is kind and merciful.
He pardons all your iniquities,
    he heals all your ills.
He redeems your life from destruction,
    he crowns you with kindness and compassion. 
R.    The Lord is kind and merciful.
The LORD secures justice
    and the rights of all the oppressed.
He has made known his ways to Moses,
    and his deeds to the children of  Israel. 
R.    The Lord is kind and merciful.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;
you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

At that time Jesus exclaimed: 
“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son except the Father,
and no one knows the Father except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”

Saint of the Day for July 13
(May 6, 972 - July 13, 1024)

Saint Henry's Story

As German king and Holy Roman Emperor, Henry was a practical man of affairs. He was energetic in consolidating his rule. He crushed rebellions and feuds. On all sides he had to deal with drawn-out disputes so as to protect his frontiers. This involved him in a number of battles, especially in the south in Italy; he also helped Pope Benedict VIII quell disturbances in Rome. Always his ultimate purpose was to establish a stable peace in Europe.

According to eleventh-century custom, Henry took advantage of his position and appointed as bishops men loyal to him. In his case, however, he avoided the pitfalls of this practice and actually fostered the reform of ecclesiastical and monastic life. He was canonized in 1146.

Reflection

All in all, this saint was a man of his times. From our standpoint, he may have been too quick to do battle and too ready to use power to accomplish reforms. But granted such limitations, he shows that holiness is possible in a busy secular life. It is in doing our job that we become saints.

Tuesday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 390

Reading I

A certain man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,
who conceived and bore a son.
Seeing that he was a goodly child, she hid him for three months.
When she could hide him no longer, she took a papyrus basket,
daubed it with bitumen and pitch,
and putting the child in it,
placed it among the reeds on the river bank.
His sister stationed herself at a distance
to find out what would happen to him.

Pharaoh’s daughter came down to the river to bathe,
while her maids walked along the river bank.
Noticing the basket among the reeds, she sent her handmaid to fetch it.
On opening it, she looked, and lo, there was a baby boy, crying!
She was moved with pity for him and said,
“It is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter,
“Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women
to nurse the child for you?”
“Yes, do so,” she answered.
So the maiden went and called the child’s own mother.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her,
“Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will repay you.”
The woman therefore took the child and nursed it.
When the child grew, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter,
who adopted him as her son and called him Moses;
for she said, “I drew him out of the water.”

On one occasion, after Moses had grown up,
when he visited his kinsmen and witnessed their forced labor,
he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his own kinsmen.
Looking about and seeing no one,
he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
The next day he went out again, and now two Hebrews were fighting!
So he asked the culprit,
“Why are you striking your fellow Hebrew?”
But the culprit replied,
“Who has appointed you ruler and judge over us?
Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?”
Then Moses became afraid and thought,
“The affair must certainly be known.”

Pharaoh, too, heard of the affair and sought to put Moses to death.
But Moses fled from him and stayed in the land of Midian.

Responsorial Psalm

R.    (see 33)  Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.
I am sunk in the abysmal swamp
    where there is no foothold;
I have reached the watery depths;
    the flood overwhelms me.
R.    Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.
But I pray to you, O LORD,
    for the time of your favor, O God!
In your great kindness answer me
    with your constant help.
R.    Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.
But I am afflicted and in pain;
    let your saving help, O God, protect me;
I will praise the name of God in song,
    and I will glorify him with thanksgiving.
R.    Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.
“See, you lowly ones, and be glad;
    you who seek God, may your hearts revive!
For the LORD hears the poor,
    and his own who are in bonds he spurns not.”
R.    Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Jesus began to reproach the towns
where most of his mighty deeds had been done,
since they had not repented.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst
had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
And as for you, Capernaum:

    Will you be exalted to heaven?
        You will go down to the netherworld.

For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom,
it would have remained until this day.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

Saint Benedict's Story

It is unfortunate that no contemporary biography was written of a man who has exercised the greatest influence on monasticism in the West. Benedict is well recognized in the later Dialogues of Saint Gregory, but these are sketches to illustrate miraculous elements of his career.

Benedict was born into a distinguished family in central Italy, studied at Rome, and early in life was drawn to monasticism. At first he became a hermit, leaving a depressing world—pagan armies on the march, the Church torn by schism, people suffering from war, morality at a low ebb.

He soon realized that he could not live a hidden life in a small town any better than in a large city, so he withdrew to a cave high in the mountains for three years. Some monks chose Benedict as their leader for a while, but found his strictness not to their taste. Still the shift from hermit to community life had begun for him. He had an idea of gathering various families of monks into one “Grand Monastery” to give them the benefit of unity, fraternity, and permanent worship in one house. Finally he began to build what was to become one of the most famous monasteries in the world—Monte Cassino, commanding three narrow valleys running toward the mountains north of Naples.

The Rule that gradually developed prescribed a life of liturgical prayer, study, manual labor, and living together in community under a common abbot. Benedictine asceticism is known for its moderation, and Benedictine charity has always shown concern for the people in the surrounding countryside. In the course of the Middle Ages, all monasticism in the West was gradually brought under the Rule of St. Benedict.

Today the Benedictine family is represented by two branches: the Benedictine Federation encompassing the men and women of the Order of St. Benedict; and the Cistercians, men and women of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance.


Reflection

The Church has been blessed through Benedictine devotion to the liturgy, not only in its actual celebration with rich and proper ceremony in the great abbeys, but also through the scholarly studies of many of its members. Liturgy is sometimes confused with guitars or choirs, Latin or Bach. We should be grateful to those who both preserve and adapt the genuine tradition of worship in the Church.


Monday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 389

Reading I

A new king, who knew nothing of Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
He said to his subjects, “Look how numerous and powerful
the people of the children of Israel are growing, more so than we ourselves!
Come, let us deal shrewdly with them to stop their increase;
otherwise, in time of war they too may join our enemies
to fight against us, and so leave our country.”

Accordingly, taskmasters were set over the children of Israel
to oppress them with forced labor.
Thus they had to build for Pharaoh
the supply cities of Pithom and Raamses.
Yet the more they were oppressed,
the more they multiplied and spread.
The Egyptians, then, dreaded the children of Israel
and reduced them to cruel slavery,
making life bitter for them with hard work in mortar and brick
and all kinds of field work—the whole cruel fate of slaves.

Pharaoh then commanded all his subjects,
“Throw into the river every boy that is born to the Hebrews,
but you may let all the girls live.”

Responsorial Psalm

R.    (8a)  Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Had not the LORD been with us–
    let Israel say, had not the LORD been with us–
When men rose up against us,
    then would they have swallowed us alive,
When their fury was inflamed against us. 
R.    Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Then would the waters have overwhelmed us;
The torrent would have swept over us;
    over us then would have swept 
    the raging waters.
Blessed be the LORD, who did not leave us
    a prey to their teeth. 
R.    Our help is in the name of the Lord.
We were rescued like a bird 
    from the fowlers’ snare;
Broken was the snare, 
    and we were freed.
Our help is in the name of the LORD,
    who made heaven and earth.
R.    Our help is in the name of the Lord.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Jesus said to his Apostles:
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth.
I have come to bring not peace but the sword.
For I have come to set
    a man against his father,
        a daughter against her mother,
    and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
        and one’s enemies will be those of his household.

“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me,
and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
and whoever does not take up his cross
and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Whoever finds his life will lose it,
and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

“Whoever receives you receives me,
and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet
will receive a prophet’s reward,
and whoever receives a righteous man
because he is righteous 
will receive a righteous man’s reward.
And whoever gives only a cup of cold water
to one of these little ones to drink
because he is a disciple–
amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”

When Jesus finished giving these commands to his Twelve disciples,
he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.
