AUGUST 1 — ST. PETER’S CHAINS
In the interval, however, the Church of Jerusalem was praying for his deliverance night and day. On the very eve of Easter, whilst the great Apostle was sleeping in his chains between two soldiers, an angel appeared in the prison, and struck off his fetters. Throwing open the gates, and, leading him to the public highway, the angel accompanied him a few steps, and then vanished. St. Peter, thereupon realizing that he was at liberty, went to knock at the door of the house where the faithful were assembled in prayer. This occurred in the year 43 of the Christian era. St. Peter’s chains are still preserved at Rome, and reverenced as being among the most venerable memorials of the faith.

AUGUST 1 — ST. PETER'S CHAINS
The king took all precautions possible to prevent the escape of his prisoner. St. Peter lay fast asleep, on the very night before the day intended for his execution, when it pleased God to deliver him out of the hands of his enemies. He was guarded by sixteen soldiers, four of whom always kept sentry in their turns: two in the same dungeon with him, and two at the gate. He was fastened to the ground by two chains, and slept between the two soldiers. In the middle of the night a bright light shone in the prison, and an angel appeared near him, and, striking him on the side, awaked him out of his sleep, and bade him instantly arise, gird his coat about him, put on his sandals and his cloak, and follow him. The Apostle did so, for the chains had dropped off from his hands. Following his guide, he passed after him through the first and second wards or watches, and through the iron gate which led into the city, which opened to them of its own accord. The angel conducted him through one street, then, suddenly disappearing, left him to seek some asylum. The Apostle went directly to the house of Mary the mother of John, surnamed Mark, where several disciples were met together, and were sending up their prayers to heaven for his deliverance. As he stood knocking without, a young woman, knowing Peter's voice, ran in and informed the company that he was at the door; they concluded it must be his guardian angel, sent by God upon some extraordinary account, until, being let in, he related to them the whole manner of his miraculous escape; and having enjoined them to give notice thereof to St. James and the rest of the brethren, he withdrew to a place of more retirement and security, carrying, wherever he went, the heavenly blessing and life.
REFLECTION. — This miracle affords a confirmation of the divine promise, "If two of you shall consent upon earth concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by My Father who is in heaven."

| 4 |  AUGUST 1 — ST. PETER'S CHAINS
HEROD AGRIPPA, King of the Jews, having put to death St. James the Great in the year 44, in order to gain the affection and applause of his people, caused St. Peter, the prince of the sacred college, to be cast into prison. It was his intention to put him publicly to death after Easter. The whole Church at Jerusalem put up its prayers to God for the deliverance of the chief pastor of His whole flock, and God favorably heard them.

JULY 31 — ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA, Founder of the Jesuits
During his convalescence, he began to read certain volumes of the lives of the Saints, merely to while away the time; but the simple narratives ended by kindling in his soul a marvellous ardor for the cause of Christ. He promptly gave himself up to prayer and penance. He applied himself laboriously in the prime of manhood to a necessary course of studies; and accomplished a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, God gave to him great inspirations, and he corresponded to them bravely and generously. In 1534, on the Feast of the Assumption, he made a vow, with nine companions, to devote himself to the salvation of souls, and to place himself at the disposal of the Pope. Thus was founded, in the church of Montmartre, at Paris, the renowned Society of Jesus, of which Ignatius became the first Rector-General. His motto and ruling principle was Ad majorem Dei gloriam. He died July 31, 1556.

IGNATIUS of Loyola was a noble Spanish knight whose life had been that of a worldling rather than a Christian. Being in the military service, he was wounded at the siege of Pampeluna in 1521. | 47 |

JULY 31 — ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA
Prompted by their love for Jesus Christ, Ignatius and his companions made a vow to go to the Holy Land, but war broke out, and prevented the execution of their project. Then they turned to the Vicar of Jesus Christ, and placed themselves under his obedience. This was the beginning of the Society of Jesus. Our Lord promised St. Ignatius that the precious heritage of His Passion should never fail his Society, a heritage of contradictions and persecutions. St. Ignatius was cast into prison at Salamanca, on a suspicion of heresy. To a friend who expressed sympathy with him on account of his imprisonment, he replied, "It is a sign that you have but little love of Christ in your heart, or you would not deem it so hard a fate to be in chains for His sake. I declare to you that all Salamanca does not contain as many fetters, manacles, and chains as
I long to wear for the love of Jesus Christ." St. Ignatius went to his crown on the 31st July, 1556.
REFLECTION. — Ask St. Ignatius to obtain for you the grace to desire ardently the greater glory of God, even though itmay cost you much suffering and humiliation.

ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA was born at Loyola in Spain, in the year 1491. He served his king as a courtier and a soldier till his thirtieth year. At that age, being laid low by a wound, he received the call of divine grace to leave the world. He embraced poverty and humiliation, that he that he might become more like to Christ, and won others to join him in the service of God.

JULY 30 — ST. GERMAIN, Bishop
This event actually occurred soon after, on the death of Amator, when Germain, becoming bishop, began at once a career of zeal and mortified devotedness which (coupled with his intelligence) made him one of the ablest prelates of Gaul. It was he who accompanied St. Lupus, bishop of Troyes, to England, to destroy the Pelagian heresy there; and it was he, also, who singled out the young St. Genevieve from the crowd in Paris, and gave that great saint to France and the Church. In 448 he was sent with full powers to the court of the emperor Valentinian, and died at Ravenna.

THE early youth and manhood of St. Germain, Duke of Auxerre, although that of an honorable citizen, bore little appearance of Christian virtue. Amator, bishop of Auxerre, frequently exhorted the duke to a more fervent life, and once abruptly prophesied to Germain that he would be his successor in the see of Auxerre.

JULY 30 — ST. GERMANUS, BISHOP
Forthwith Germanus became another man, and, making over his lands to the Church, adopted a life of humble penance. At that time the Pelagian heresy was laying waste England, and Germanus was chosen by the reigning Pontiff to rescue the Britons from the snare of Satan. With St. Lupus he preached in the fields and highways throughout the land. At last, near Verulam, he met the heretics face to face, and overcame them utterly with the Catholic and Roman faith. He ascribed this triumph to the intercession of St. Alban, and offered public thanks at his shrine. Towards the end of his stay, his old skill in arms won over the Picts and Scots the complete but bloodless "Alleluia " victory, so called because the newly-baptized Britons, led by the Saint, routed the enemy with the Paschal cry. Germanus visited England a second time with St. Severus. He died a.d. 448, while interceding with the emperor for the people of Brittany.
REFLECTION. — "Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus." (2 Tim. 1 : 13.)

IN his youth, Germanus gave little sign of sanctity. He was of noble birth, and at first practised the law at Rome. After a time, the emperor placed him high in the army. But his one passion was the chase. He was so carried away as even to retain in his sports the superstitions of the pagan huntsman. Yet it was revealed to the Bishop of Auxerre that Germanus would be his successor, and he gave him the tonsure almost by main force.

JULY 29 — ST. MARTHA, Virgin
St. Martha frequently had the glorious privilege of ministering to the wants of Jesus. when He visited the house of Lazarus. It is on that account that she is considered the special patroness of good house-keeping; being, as our Lord’s own words would lead us to infer, a thrifty and solicitous care-taker of domestic affairs. According to a Provencal legend, St. Martha was the first after the Blessed Virgin to vow her virginity to God, and the first to found a monastery for women. And there, when she had passed many years in prayer and good works, fee ing her end was near, she caused herself to be placed where she could gaze upon the sun shining in the sky, and commanded them to read to her the history of the Passion of Christ; and when they came to the words, ‘Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit,’ St. Martha breathed her last.

JULY 29 — ST. MARTHA, VIRGIN
Then, their brother is ill, and they send to Jesus, "Lord, he whom Thou lovest is sick." And in His own time the Lord came, and they go out to meet Him; and then follows that scene of unutterable tenderness and of sublimity unsurpassed: the silent waiting of Mary; Martha strong in faith, but realizing so vividly, with her practical turn of mind, the fact of death, and hesitating: “Canst Thou show Thy wonders in the grave?" And then once again, on the eve of His Passion, we see Jesus at Bethany. Martha, true to her character, is serving; Mary, as at first, pours the precious ointment, in adoration and love, on His divine head. And then we find the tomb of St. Martha, at Tarascon, in Provence. When the storm of persecution came, the family of Bethany, with a few companions, were put into a boat, without oars or sail, and borne to the coast of France. St. Mary's tomb is at St. Baume; St. Lazarus is venerated as the founder of the Church of Marseilles; and the memory of the virtues and labors of St. Martha is still fragrant at Avignon and Tarascon.
REFLECTION. — When Martha received Jesus into her house, she was naturally busy in preparations for such a Guest. Mary sat at His feet, intent alone on listening to His gracious words. Her sister thought that the time required other service than this, and asked Our Lord to bid Mary help in serving. Once again Jesus spoke in defence of Mary. "Martha, Martha," He said, " thou art lovingly anxious about many things; be not over-eager; do thy chosen work with recollectedness. Judge not Mary. Hers is the good part, the one only thing really necessary. Thine will be taken away, that something better be given thee." The life of action ceases when the body is laid down; but the life of contemplation endures and is perfected in heaven.

ST. JOHN tells us that "Jesus loved Martha and Mary and Lazarus”, and yet but few glimpses are vouchsafed us of them. First, the sisters are set before us with a word. Martha received Jesus into her house, and was busy in outward, loving, lavish service, while Mary sat in silence at the feet she had bathed with her tears.

JULY 28 — ST. NAZARIUS and CELSUS, Martyrs
Nazarius grew up, under his mother’s tuition, a fervent Christian. Accompanied by a young disciple named Celsus, he travelled through Cisalpine Gaul, preaching the Gospel and converting many. They came to Genoa, where the people, being obstinate pagans, laid hold of them and flung them into the sea; but the sea, more merciful, refused to drown them. After many wanderings, they came to Milan, where they comforted and encouraged the confessors and martyrs. Some short time afterwards, Nazarius and Celsus, in their turn, suffered together, and were beheaded outside the Porta Romana at Milan.
