AUGUST 27 — ST. CESARIUS, Bishop
Having been falsely accused of conspiring against the state, he was exiled from his diocese by Alaric and Theodoric successively; but both times the false charges were made to redound to the glory of the gentle bishop, and he was welcomed back to his see with open arms, the last time loaded with the costly gifts of Theodoric, which Cesarius at once disposed of in order to give the proceeds to his beloved poor. He died in 542.

Far off he descries an Elysium blest,
With gush of clear fountains, and music, and rest;
Religion’s blest teaching his spirit controls,
And points all his hopes to the country of souls.

| 2 |  AUGUST 27 — ST. CESARIUS, Bishop
ST. CESARIUS was the archbishop of Arles in the sixth century. The gentleness of his character found expression in his writings; and his piety established public ceremonies in his diocese which were admirably organized. His charity was so great that he even sold the sacred vessels of the Church in order to ransom captives whose souls were exposed to danger.

AUGUST 27 — ST. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS
When he reached the Holy City, his heart was moved by the vice and ignorance of the children of the poor. Their need mastered his humility, and he founded the Order of Clerks Regular of the Pious Schools. He himself provided all that was necessary for the education of the children, receiving nothing from them in payment, and there were soon about a thousand scholars of every rank under his care. Each lesson began with prayer. Every half-hour devotion was renewed by acts of faith, hope, and charity, and towards the end of school-time the children were instructed in the Christian doctrine. They were then escorted home by the masters, so as to escape all harm by the way.
But enemies arose against Joseph from among his own subjects. They accused him to the Holy Office, and at the age of eighty-six he was led through the streets to prison. At last the Order was reduced to a simple congregation. It was not restored to its former privileges till after the Saint's death.
Yet he died full of hope. "My work," he said, "was done solely for the love of God."
REFLECTION. — "My children," said the Cure of Ars, "I often think that most of the Christians who are lost are lost for want of instruction; they do not know their religion well."

| 4 |  AUGUST 27 — ST. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS
St. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS was born in Arragon, a.d. 1556. When only five years old, he led a troop of children through the streets to find the devil and kill him. He became a priest, and was engaged in various reforms, when he heard a voice saying, "Go to Rome," and had a vision of many children who were being taught by him and by a company of angels.

AUGUST 26 — ST. ZEPHYRINUS, Pope and Martyr
Eight heresiarchs put forth their false doctrines, and Tertullian fell into heresy and did not acknowledge his error. Natalis. who had generously confessed the faith, fell in like manner, but, touched by divine grace, cast himself in time at the feet of Pope Zephyrinus, and humbly sought for reconciliation. The holy Pontiff received the strayed sheep, and continued in person to contend manfully against the upholders of heresy. He is believed to have suffered martyrdom, his death taking place in the year 219.

| 7 |  AUGUST 26 — ST. ZEPHYRINUS, Pope and Martyr
THE fifth persecution against the Christians was in progress when Pope Zephyrinus ascended the papal chair. He neglected nothing, and even exposed his own life, to uphold and cheer the confessors. The persecution only ceased at length to give place to the outbreak of numerous heresies.

AUGUST 26 — ST. ZEPHYRINUS, POPE AND MARTYR
Under this furious storm this holy pastor was the support and comfort of the distressed flock of Christ, and he suffered by charity and compassion what every confessor underwent. The triumphs of the martyrs were indeed his joy, but his heart received many deep wounds from the fall of apostates and heretics. Neither did this latter affliction cease when peace was restored to the Church. Our Saint had also the affliction to see the fall of Tertullian, which seems to have been owing partly to his pride. Eusebius tells us that this holy Pope exerted his zeal so strenuously against the blasphemies of the heretics that they treated him in the most contumelious manner; but it was his glory that they called him the principal defender of Christ's divinity. St. Zephyrinus filled the pontifical chair seventeen years, dying in 219. He was buried in his own cemetery, on the 26th of August. He is, in some Martyrologies, styled a martyr, which title he might deserve by what he suffered in the persecution, though he perhaps did not die by the executioner.
REFLECTION. — God has always raised up holy pastors zealous to maintain the faith of His Church inviolable, and to watch over the purity of its morals and the sanctity of its discipline. We enjoy the greatest advantages of the divine grace through their labors, and we owe to God a tribute of perpetual thanksgiving and immortal praise for all those mercies which He has afforded His Church on earth.

St. ZEPHYRINUS, a native of Rome, succeeded Victor in the pontificate, in the year 202, in which Severus raised the fifth most bloody persecution against the Church, which continued not for two years only, but until the death of that emperor in 211.

AUGUST 25 — ST. LOUIS OF FRANCE, Confessor
A monument of the holy king’s charity and wisdom exists in his code of laws known “the Ordinances of St. Louis,’’ which became as dear to the French as the laws of Edward the Confessor were to the Anglo-Saxon race. His tenderness, truth, and generous consideration for the rights of others made him the idol of his own nation and the umpire of all neighboring kings. His private character was rendered inexpressibly beautiful by his fidelity to his wife, his obedience to his noble mother, and paternal love for his numerous offspring. He led two Crusades to the Holy Land; and died at Carthage in the year 1270.

| 12 |  AUGUST 25 — ST. LOUIS OF FRANCE, Confessor
LOUIS IX, king of France, was born at Poissy in 1215, and combined all the qualities of a hero, statesman, and saint. His devout mother, Blanche of Castile, from his infancy impressed upon him that it was better to incur death than commit one mortal sin, and even the infamous Voltaire bore this testimony to the character of St. Louis: “Il n'est guère donné à l’homme de pousser la vertu plus loin.”

AUGUST 25 — ST. LOUIS, KING
When his courtiers remonstrated with Louis for his law that blasphemers should be branded on the lips, he replied, "I would willingly have my own lips branded to root out blasphemy from my kingdom." The fearless protector of the weak and the oppresed, he was chosen to arbitrate in all the great feuds of his age between the Pope and the Emperor, between Henry III and the English barons.
In 1248, to rescue the land which Christ had trod, he gathered round him the chivalry of France, and embarked for the East. There, before the infidel, in victory or defeat, on the bed of sickness or a captive in chains, Louis showed himself ever the same, the first, the best, and the bravest of Christian knights. When a captive at Damietta, an Emir rushed into his tent brandishing a dagger red with the blood of the Sultan, and threatened to stab him also unless he would make him a knight, as the Emperor Frederick had Facardin. Louis calmly replied that no unbeliever could perform the duties of a Christian knight. In the same captivity, he was offered his liberty on terms lawful in themselves, but enforced by an oath which implied a blasphemy, and though the infidels held their swords' points at his throat, and threatened a massacre of the Christians, Louis inflexibly refused.
The death of his mother recalled him to France; but when order was re-established, he again set forth on a second crusade. In August, 1270, his army landed at Tunis, and, though victorious over the enemy, succumbed to a malignant fever. Louis was one of the victims. He received the Viaticum kneeling by his camp-bed, and gave up his life with the same joy that he had given all else for the honor of God.
REFLECTION. — If we cannot imitate St. Louis in dying for the honor of God, we can at least resemble him in resenting the blasphemies offered against God by the infidel, the heretic, and the scoffer.

| 14 |  AUGUST 25 — ST. LOUIS, KING
The mother of Louis told him she would rather see him die than commit a mortal sin, and he never forgot her words. King of France at the age of twelve, he made the defence of God's honor the aim of his life. Before two years he had crushed the Albigensian heretics, and forced them by stringent penalties to respect the Catholic faith. Amidst the cares of government, he daily recited the Divine Office and heard two Masses, and the most glorious churches in France are still monuments of his piety.

AUGUST 24 — ST. BARTHOLOMEW, Apostle
This holy apostle carried the light of the Gospel into Arabia, Persia, and the Indies. From India he passed into Phrygia and Lycaonia in Greater Armenia, where, after converting innumerable souls to the faith, he was barbarously flayed alive by command of King Astirages, and then beheaded, A.D. 44.

ST. BARTHOLOMEW seems to be the same person known as “Nathaniel,” who was led to our Lord by the apostle St. Philip. and of whom the Divine Lips said: “Behold an Israelite, indeed, in whom there is no guile.” Bartholomew is a surname, and signifies Son of Tholmai.

AUGUST 24 — ST. BARTHOLOMEW, APOSTLE
He is mentioned among the disciples who were met together in prayer after Christ's ascension, and he received the Holy Ghost with the rest. Being eminently qualified by the Divine Grace to discharge the functions of an apostle, he carried the Gospel through the most barbarous countries of the East, penetrating into the remoter Indies. He then returned again into the north-west part of Asia, and met St. Philip at Hierapolis, in Phrygia. Hence he travelled into Lycaonia, where he instructed the people in the Christian faith; but we know not even the names of many of the countries in which he preached. St. Bartholomew's last removal was into Great Armenia, where, preaching in a place obstinately addicted to the worship of idols, he was crowned with a glorious martyrdom. The modern Greek historians say that he was condemned by the governor of Albanopolis to be crucified. Others affirm that he was flayed alive, which might well enough consist with his crucifixion, this double punishment being in use not only in Egypt, but also among the Persians.
Reflection — The characteristic virtue of the apostles was zeal for the divine glory, the first property of the love of God. A soldier is always ready to defend the honor of his prince, and a son that of his father; and can a Christian say he loves God who is indifferent to His honor?

| 18 |  AUGUST 24 — ST. BARTHOLOMEW, APOSTLE
St. BARTHOLOMEW was one of the twelve who were called to the Apostolate by our Blessed Lord Himself. Several learned interpreters of the Holy Scripture take this Apostle to have been the same as Nathaniel, a native of Cana, in Galilee, a doctor in the Jewish law, and one of the seventy-two disciples of Christ, to whom he was conducted by St. Philip, and whose innocence and simplicity of heart deserved to be celebrated with the highest eulogium by the divine mouth of our Redeemer.

AUGUST 23 — ST. PHILIP BENITI, Confessor
Italy was then torn by the factions of the Guelphs and Ghibellines. St. Philip devoted himself to reconciling the opposing parties and restoring peace to families. But his noble efforts were often met by the roughest usage on the part of his enemies. He was threatened, beaten, and dragged through the mud, his heavenly patience enduring all so sweetly that his most inveterate foes became his ardent admirers. One of them even came to throw himself at St. Philip’s feet, craved his pardon, and afterwards, entering the Order of the Servites, died a most edifying death. The gentle Beniti himself passed to his reward in 1285.

ST. PHILIP BENITI was general of the Order of Servites, or Servants of Mary. He preached through all the prominent cities of Europe, and was so universally reverenced for his sanctity that, on the death of Pope Clement IV, the cardinals wished to elevate him to the Chair of St. Peter. But the humble Servite fled away to evade the dignity.
