San Leonardo de Porto Maurizio

Leonardo-da-Porto-Maurizio2-624x330AdelanteLa Fe:  San Leonardo de Porto Maurizio fue un fraile franciscano muy santo que vivió en el monasterio de San Buenaventura en Roma. Él fue uno de los más grandes misioneros en la historia de la Iglesia. Solía predicar a miles de personas en las plazas de cada ciudad y pueblo donde las iglesias no podían albergar a sus oyentes. Tan brillante y santa era su elocuencia que una vez cuando realizó una misión de dos semanas en Roma, el Papa y el Colegio de Cardenales fueron a oírle. La Inmaculada Concepción de la Santísima Virgen, la adoración del Santísimo Sacramento y la veneración del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús fueron sus cruzadas. No fue en pequeña medida responsable de la definición de la Inmaculada Concepción hecha poco más de cien años después de su muerte. También nos dio las Alabanzas Divinas, que se dicen al final de la Bendición. Pero el trabajo más famoso de San Leonardo fue su devoción a las Estaciones de la Cruz. Tuvo una muerte santa a sus setenta y cinco años, después de veinticuatro años de predicación sin interrupciones. Uno de los sermones más famosos de San Leonardo de Porto Maurizio fue “El Pequeño Número de los Que Se Salvan.” Fue en el que se basó para la conversión de grandes pecadores. Este sermón, así como sus otros escritos, fue sometido a examen canónico durante el proceso de canonización. En él se examinan los diferentes estados de vida de los cristianos, y concluye con el pequeño número de los que se salvan, en relación a la totalidad de los hombres. El lector que medite sobre éste notable texto aprovechará la solidez de su argumentación, la cual le ha valido la aprobación de la Iglesia. Aquí está el vibrante y conmovedor sermón de éste gran misionero.

The Feast of San Corrado

19 Tuesday Aug 2014

The last Sunday of every August, the Catholics of Noto, Sicily, celebrate a devotional feast in honor of San Corrado of Noto, a hermit and member of the Third Order of St. Francis, who lived in the 13th century.

During my stay at the Santuario della Madonna della Scala (2010-2011) I had the grace to attend several processions in the Saints honor.

San Corrado is little known even in the Order, but he is a powerful saint, who still works miracles for his faithful; appears to them, gives them counsel, and inspires them to seek first the Kingdom of God.

The photo, above, I took, during the procession to the grotto of San Corrado, in the summer of 2010.  The silver beaten Ark, contains the relics of the Saint: his bones, beard, and some of his clothing.

I will be eternally grateful to God, that in December of 2010, the Bishop of Noto, by decree, granted me the status of a hermit in the diocese, the first such recognition of hermit since about the time of Napoleon, though others have lived in the diocese without official recognition. I obtained this favor, I  believe, through the intercession of St. Corrado, from whom I specifically asked it, when I first wrote the Bishop of Noto.

Here are some more photos:  First, the Bearers of St. Corrado bearing the saint’s Ark, in the piazza in front of his ancient Hermitage.

 Second, the Facade of the Church of San Corrado, at the Hermitage, just outside Noto:

Next, the bearers carrying the Ark along the narrow path leading up to the Church:

Next, the Ark is borne in procession at Night time, in the City of Noto, on his feast day, and on the Last Sunday of August (here seen in 2010):
