St Teresa of Jesus of Los Andes – July 13 – Carmelite Saints

Summary: Giuseppina Catanea was born in Naples on February 18, 1894. She entered the Carmelite community of Santa Maria Ponti Rossi and made her solemn profession on August 6, 1933. In 1945, she was elected prioress, an office she held until her death. She endured the painful trials of illness and persecution by abandoning herself to the will of God. All who sought her help were inspired by her deep spirituality, humility, and simplicity, as she inspired hope and faith in God and in the Blessed Virgin Mary. She died in Naples on March 14, 1948. History: Giuseppina Catanea, born in Naples on February 18, 1896, was a member of the noble Marquises Grimaldi family. She was the third child of Francesco Catanea, a railway employee in Benevento, and Concetta dei Marchesi Grimaldi. Baptized four days after her birth, she grew up with a frail build. Despite her physical weakness, "Pinella," as her family called her, enjoyed a typical childhood. Her sister, Maria, became her first playmate; soon, she had many friends in elementary school. The testimony of faith Giuseppina received from her family, especially from her maternal grandmother, Antonietta, and her mother, profoundly shaped her. As a young child, she demonstrated great affection for the poor and most needy, offering them money and care. She also assisted two elderly women who lived alone. Devoted to Mary and the Eucharist, Giuseppina eagerly sought chances to pray the rosary. Even at an early age, she was convinced that Jesus was calling her to Carmel. On May 30, 1904, she received the Sacrament of Confirmation, having celebrated her First Communion a few years earlier. In 1906, Giuseppina attended the Regina Margherita commercial school. Although recurring health issues often kept her from classes, she excelled academically. She also took time to assist classmates struggling with their studies. On September 5, 1908, Antonietta, her other sister, entered the Carmelite monastery of Saints John and Teresa. As Giuseppina accompanied her, she felt drawn to the cloistered life in Carmel. Yet, her great affection for her mother led her to set that idea aside. Soon after, she began to contemplate marriage and starting a family, only to realize she was called to something else. Meanwhile, Antonietta returned home for health reasons. Her spiritual director, the Discalced Carmelite Fr. Romualdo, then chose Antonietta to found a new Carmel in Naples. Beginning August 15, 1910, she started her new life in two small rooms rented from the Bethlehem Sisters in Santa Maria dei Monti, on the Ponti Rossi hill. On October 22, she received the Carmelite habit and the new name of Sr. Maria Teresa. Giuseppina, who went to the service, felt her desire for consecration return, but she still worried about leaving her mother. Her health was also a concern. In 1912, she was diagnosed with angina, a heart condition, which was later followed by spinal tuberculosis. As her illnesses continued, Giuseppina stayed firm in her faith and prayed for strength. Gradually, her condition worsened, confining her to a wheelchair. After finishing her studies, Giuseppina sought employment but found no opportunities. Instead, she tutored girls preparing for remedial exams. In helping them academically, she also guided them back to God. Meanwhile, the Carmelite community continued to grow as it awaited the completion of a new monastery, which was finished on April 2, 1913. After much prayer and discussion with the nuns, Giuseppina realized she must join them. "I can no longer keep Him who calls me waiting," she told her mother, sister, and aunts, who were opposed to it. For the time being, she joined the Third Order of Carmelites and received the scapular. On March 10, 1918, Giuseppina entered the Carmelite Community at St. Maria ai Ponti Rossi. As a young religious, she learned to love Christ through suffering, offering herself as a victim for the good of all priests. She accepted great physical pain as God's will for her. On Christmas Day 1918, Giuseppina, after spending a long time in the chapel, emerged staggering and shivering. On December 28, the community doctor diagnosed her with double pneumonia. The Sacraments of the dying were then brought to her. Her condition worsened, but she tried to endure it, thinking of the imminent foundation of the new Carmel. In June, she was struck by tuberculosis of the spine, which completely paralyzed her. Even in that condition, Giuseppina tried to do God's will, but her fellow nuns constantly hoped for her recovery. During this time, she experienced two visions of Saint Francis Xavier. When she saw before her a saintly figure, a voice revealed: "St. Francis has cured you of your illness." At first, she did not know who the saint was. A week later, Fr. Romualdo brought her a holy card of St. Francis Xavier, along with the "Novena of Grace," a special prayer for his intercession. Giuseppina immediately recognized him from her dream and began the novena. She later learned that the relic of Saint Francis Xavier's arm would pass through Naples. When the relic was brought to the monastery on June 26, 1922, and placed next to Giuseppina, a strange wind, felt by those present, pushed her, who was completely paralyzed, to her feet. Gradually, she sat up in bed, opened her mouth again, and finally stood up, while her fellow nuns cried out that it was a miracle. Although she would have been glad to live in solitude, news of her miraculous recovery spread quickly. Priests, seminarians, and people of every social class began coming to Ponti Rossi to seek counsel and consolation from her. This made her realize she wanted to be a victim of humanity's suffering. Filled with a new sensitivity, she was filled with a new sensitivity, a gift of the Holy Spirit. In 1932, Pope Pius XI officially recognized the house at Ponti Rossi as a convent of the Discalced Carmelites, named "the Carmel of Sts Teresa and Joseph at Ponti Rossi,” placing it under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Naples. Giuseppina received the Carmelite habit and took the name Sr. Maria Giuseppina of Jesus Crucified. On August 6, 1932, she made her Solemn Profession. On the day she took the habit, she said that she wished to offer herself to the Crucified Jesus so that she could be crucified with Him. She suffered silently but joyfully and abandoned herself to the will of God, who favored her with mystical experiences. In 1934, Cardinal Alessio Ascalesi, the Archbishop of Naples, appointed Sr. Maria Giuseppina the Sub-prioress of the Carmel. In obedience and at the advice of her spiritual director, Fr. Romualdo, she wrote her "Autobiography" (1894-1932) and her "Diary" (1925-45). She also left exhortations for the nuns and letters to priests and other faithful. Her spirituality, loving docility, humility, and simplicity shone especially during World War II. Amidst the turmoil, she prayed constantly, driven by a deep trust in God. Those who came to Ponti Rossi found encouragement and hope in her words, enabling them to overcome life's trials. From 1943, Sister Maria Giuseppina endured ear trouble, numbness, pain from multiple sclerosis, and loss of vision, among other health issues. She considered her illnesses to be "a magnificent gift" that allowed her to better conform to the Crucified Christ. Maintaining a cheerful spirit, she offered her body as a sacrifice for souls. By 1944, at the age of 50, she was forced to use a wheelchair. In 1945, she became the Vicar. That same year, on September 29, the Ponti Rossi Carmel held its first General Chapter, electing Sr. Maria Giuseppina as Prioress, a position she held until her death. She accepted the role only out of obedience to the archbishop. Toward her fellow nuns, she expressed a truly maternal attitude, offering encouragement both in her words and by example. Between the end of January and the beginning of February 1948, Mother Maria Giuseppina suffered a physical collapse. The doctors gave her little hope, so much so that she wondered, "What is this disease called?" She immediately found the answer: "It is the infirmity of God's will." Fr. Romualdo then administered the Sacraments of the Dying. Despite these health challenges, Giuseppina remained steadfast in her commitment to her religious life and to serving others. Her spiritual journey and unwavering perseverance inspired those around her. Bl. Maria Giuseppina of Jesus Crucified passed away on March 14, 1948, in Naples, Italy. In recognition of her saintly virtues, Giuseppina was venerated on January 3, 1987, by Pope St. John Paul II, who declared that she had lived a life of heroic virtue. An investigation into a miracle was conducted in Naples from November 5, 2004, to May 9, 2005, in the case of Francesco Natale, born on April 21, 1999, to Rosario Natale and Anna Di Francesco. On June 19 of that year, he was rushed to Santobono Hospital in Naples, where he was diagnosed with a severe form of encephalitis, caused by a virus, which had caused convulsions and shock. As Francesco got worse, his parents, friends, and the Carmelite nuns prayed for Mother Maria Giuseppina's intercession. On June 30, Francesco was moved to the Neonatal Unit and left the hospital on July 5, with no trace of the illness. Pope Benedict XVI approved the healing as a legitimate miracle on December 17, 2007, a move that would allow her beatification. The beatification ceremony took place on June 1, 2008, in the Cathedral of Naples, Italy, at which the Archbishop of Naples, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, presided. Her feast day is celebrated on March 14. Her memorial for the Diocese of Naples and the Discalced Carmelites is celebrated on June 26, the anniversary of the day Bl. Maria Giuseppina was healed of paralysis and began her new life. Prayer: Almighty and eternal God, who willed to conform to Christ crucified the virgin Blessed Maria Giuseppina, as a victim for sinners, grant that we, through her intercession and example, may always embrace our own cross and humbly fulfil your will. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

Summary: In a single celebration, both Orders of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel commemorate their martyrs who, in different places in Spain, bore witness to the faith before and during the long and bloody religious persecution for hatred of the faith (1936-1939). Father Angel Mary Prat Hostench, O. Carm., was murdered with his confreres in Tárrega in 1936; Father Lucas of St. Joseph Tristany Pujol, O.C.D., was slain with his confreres in Barcelona the same year. This memorial also includes the groups from Lleida, Tarragona, Toledo, Terrassa, Olot, and others. This multitude of bishops, diocesan priests, religious of various orders, and lay people were beatified, in part by Pope Benedict XVI on October 28, 2007 (498 martyrs), and in part by Pope Francis on October 13, 2013 (522 martyrs). History: Fr. Lucas of St. Joseph (Jose Tristany Pujol) was born on December 14, 1872. He was only six months old when his father died. The family suffered hardships due to his death, leading Jose’s mother, Rosa, to ask her older sons and daughter to live on their own. She took her two younger sons with her to the town of Cardona. There, Rosa died shortly after.   Jose was taken in by his Uncle Antonio and Aunt Margarita in Tarragona. Meanwhile, his older brother, Meliton, entered the Discalced Carmelite Order and took the name Ludovico of the Sacred Hearts. Jose spent his adolescent years with his relatives, who, as he grew up, expected him to marry. However, he felt called to the priesthood, and at 15, began studying Humanities at the seminary. At 18, Jose and his relatives visited the Carmelite Desert Monastery of Las Palmas, where his brother lived. There, he began his novitiate in 1890 and made his first profession of vows the next year. In 1894, he made his solemn vows at the hands of his brother, Fr. Ludovico. After being ordained on May 27, 1899, Fr. Lucas became the superior and professor of Philosophy. He became well known for his preaching and spiritual writings. He coupled his intellectual capacity with a warm, generous spirit, dedicating himself to God, the Order, and those he served. His conviction as a Carmelite friar inspired him to write these prophetic words in an article: “As long as God preserves my vocation, I will not lower my head in shame for anybody because I am a religious ... If we die for the truth, we will have triumphed.” Fr. Lucas was sent to Mexico in 1902, where his apostolic work began in Mazatlán and Durango. His personality attracted many people, which helped build the Carmelites' good name. As a result, the bishop of Mazatlán requested more friars for ministry and entrusted a parish in the city to them, appointing Fr. Lucas as its first pastor. In contrast, the experience in Durango was not as smooth, and both Frs. Pedro of St. Elijah and Lucas had difficulty establishing a Carmelite community there. Religious persecution in Mexico brought the Discalced Carmelites to Tucson, United States, in 1912. There, the Carmelites served twenty-two mission churches in the nearby mining towns and camps. Recognizing their dedication, Bishop Henry Granjon assigned the newly built Holy Family Church in Tucson to them. In 1915, Fr. Lucas became its first pastor. He left the United States and returned to Barcelona upon being elected provincial of the Catalonian Province in 1924. The following year, he transferred to Rome to serve as general definitor. After completing his tenure there in 1933, he returned to Barcelona and served as prior. In 1936, he became provincial and was stationed at the Carmelite monastery in Barcelona. Before his arrival, Spain had shifted from a monarchy to a republic. This transition followed the 1931 elections on April 12, which led to the proclamation of the Republic. As a consequence, King Alfonso XIII of the House of Bourbon left Spain to prevent a civil war, and Niceto Alcalá-Zamora assumed the presidency. This dramatic change in government led to a wave of anti-clerical violence rooted in laicism, which aimed to secularize the country. On May 10, monarchists opened a political center in Madrid called the Independent Monarchist Circle, which was soon attacked by riots. As a result, from May 11 to 13, many churches were burned. The violence began in Madrid and spread to Seville, Cordoba, Murcia, and Malaga. The Communist Party organized many acts of arson, which the provisional government did nothing to stop. Summing up the government’s views, the Minister of War, Manuel Azaña, declared, “All the convents of Spain are not worth the life of one Republican.” In October, the Socialist Party won the legislative elections. Manuel Azaña became the head of State. Two months later, the Parliament passed a constitution introducing strict secular policies. These included the banning of religious orders, Catholic education, and religious cemeteries. The Popular Front, a coalition of left-wing parties, took power in 1936. It included the Socialist Party, Esquerra Republicana, and the Communist Party. This began a period of lawlessness, marked by unauthorized demonstrations, disregard for private property, and increased political violence. Police delegates, who were former socialist activists, conducted arbitrary arrests of right-wing politicians, dissolved rightist and monarchist groups, and heightened political unrest. This culminated in a military uprising on July 18, 1936, led by Franco and General Emilio Mola. During that time, areas still under Republican control saw dramatic religious persecution. Republican partisans desecrated, burned, and looted churches and shrines across Spain. Furthermore, relics and statues were paraded through the streets in mock celebrations, and bodies of saints and clergy were dug up and abused. In addition, priests and religious were hunted and massacred. Notably, around 6,800 religious were murdered between 1936 and 1939, including 13 bishops. Moreover, as many as 20,000 churches were destroyed, many of them before the war started. People, especially women, were murdered for attending Mass, and anyone associated with the opposition was killed. It was against this backdrop of violence that Bl. Lucas of St. Joseph Tristany Pujol, O.C.D., was slain with his confreres in Barcelona. Bl. Lucas was executed on July 20, 1936. Angel Maria Prat Hostench, renowned for his spirituality and Marian piety, held the office of superior in numerous houses of the province. On July 28, 1936, Bl. Angel Prat and other religious were discovered while trying to escape persecution at the Tarrega railway station, taken to Cervera, where they were shot at dawn on July 29 for being priests and religious. With Prat were the priests Eliseo M. Maneus Besalduch, Anastasio M. Dorca Coraminas, and Eduardo M. Serrano Buf; the students Pedro M. Ferrer Martin, Andrés M. Solé Rovina, Miguel M. Soler Sala, Juan M. Puigmitjà Rubiò, and Pedro-Tomás M. Prat Colledecarrara; the lay brother Eliseo M. Fontdecaba Quiroga, recently professed; and novices José M. Escoto Ruíz and Elías M. Garre Egea. In August, after escaping her burning monastery, Carmelite nun Sister Maria del Patrocinio was shot by militia. In October and November, more Carmelites were killed following inhumane interrogations and treatment. They were Brothers Ludovico M. Ayet Canós and Angel M. Presta Batlle, Father Fernando M. Llobera Puigsech, and Eufrosino M. Raga Nadal, a sub-deacon. Throughout this period, anti-Christian terror and persecution accompanied the socialist or Communist domination of any region until the Spanish Civil War ended in 1939 with Franco’s dictatorship. This joint memorial for both Orders of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel commemorates their martyrs who were killed during the Spanish Civil War. This memorial includes eight groups of Carmelites, as well as a multitude of bishops, diocesan priests, religious of various orders, and lay people, who were beatified in part by Pope Benedict XVI on October 28, 2007, and in part by Pope Francis on October 13, 2013. Prayer: Almighty and merciful God, who granted the priests Blesseds Angelus Mary, Luke of Saint Joseph, and their companions the grace of reaching the summit of Mount Carmel through martyrdom, grant, we pray, through their intercession, that we may always live with wisdom and zeal, by bearing witness to the kingly majesty of Christ. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. List of Carmelite Martyrs: Bl.
