SUNDAY, March 8—St. John
of God, Confessor. He was a
native of Portugal and founder
of the Brother Hospitallers. Un
til the age of 40 he had been in
turn a shepherd, a soldier and a
shop keeper in Gibraltar. Im
pressed by a sermon preached
by St. John of Avila, he went
to Africa and took to caring for
Christian slaves held by the
Moors. Gathering others in the
work, he founded his Institute.
He died ten years later, in 1550,
of an illness contracted while
ministering to the sick.
MONDAY, March 9 — St.
Francis of Rome, Widow. She
founded the Oblates of Tor dei
Specchi in Rome. She was born
in 1384 and desired to become a
nun, but at the age of 12 was
married to Lorenzo Ponziani.
She lived by the axiom: “A wife
is bound to leave her devotions
at the altar and to find God in
her household work.” She be
came a model to the matrons of
her time, doing much to correct
their idle manner of life. She
stood by her husband in ad
versity and exile until his death
in 1436, then joined the Oblate
institute which she had founded
three years, previously. She
spent the last four years of her
life in piety and severe penance.
She died in 1440, and was can
onized in 1608.
TUESDAY, March 10 — The
Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. They
were Christian soldiers quarter-,
ed in Armenia about 320. When
their legion was ordered to sac
rifice to heathen gods, they re
fused. Stripped of their cloth
ing they were made to lie on
the ice of a frozen lake. A warm
bath was placed on the bank
as a temptation to apostatize.
One weakened and went to the
bath, but his place was taken
by a guard who was converted
by the courage of the others.
They were forced to remain on
the ice until they were frozen
to death.
WEDNESDAY, March 11 —
St. Euthymius, Bishop-Martyr.
He was a monk and became
Bishop of Sardis in Lydia. He
courageously opposed the Icon
oclasts and was banished by
Emperor Nicephorus. He was
permitted to return to his See
city several times but each time
was exiled when he refused to
become an Iconoclast. He re
mained in exile 29 years and
eventually was scourged to
death about 840.
THURSDAY, March 12 — St.
Gregory the Great, Pope-Con-
fessor-Doctor. He was born in
Rome about 540. His mother was
St. Sylvia. Before he was 30 he
became Mayor of Rome. He soon
resigned his office, left the com
forts of his home and became
a Benedictine monk. He was
sent to Constaninople as a Pa
pal Nuncio and in 590 was elect
ed Pope. The 14 years of his
Pontificate made him a com
manding figure in world his-
otry. He sent St. Augustine to
spread the Faith in England;
promoted the conversion of the
Lombards in Italy and the Goths
in Spain; upheld the rights of
Rome against Constaninople,
and brought about a number of
other achievements.
FRIDAY, March 13 — SS.
Roderick and Salomon, Martyrs.
Roderick was a priest at Cab-
ra, near Cordova. He was ex
posed as a Christian by his bro
ther, who was a Mohammedan,
and imprisoned at Cordova. In
prison, he met Solomon, a lay
man, also jailed for his Faith.
The two were martyred at Cor-

LOURDES BISHOP THANKS
POPE JOHN FOR MESSAGE
LOURDES, France, (NC) —
Bishop Pierre Marie Theas of
Tarbes and Lourdes has sent His

telegram describing the closing
of the centennial year of the

The message read:
“At this glorious closing of the
centenary of the apparitions, un
der the presidency of the Apos
tolic Nuncio to France, Arch
bishop Paolo Marella, in the
presence of two members of the
French government, of 30 arch
bishops and bishops from dif
ferent countries, the crowd of
pilgrims thanks Your Holiness
for the moving radio message
and for the Apostolic Benedic
tion.
“They pray with fervor for
Your Holiness and ask of the
Virgin of Lourdes peace for the
world, her protection for the en
tire Church and particularly for
persecuted Catholics.”
According to the first pre
liminary studies of the Lourdes
centennial year, about 5.5 mil
lion pilgrims from all parts of
the world visited Lourdes be
tween February 11, 1958 and
February 18, 1959. The number
of sick totalled more than 50,000

MARYLAND DELEGATES APPROVE BILL
TO ERECT MONUMENT TO FR. ABRAM
RYAN, CONFEDERACY'S PRIEST-POET
• CHILDREN FREE • FREE PARKING
• FREE RADIO, TELEVISION
ANNAPOLIS, Md„ (NC) — A
bill to honor the memory of Fa
ther Abram Joseph Ryan, priest-
poet of the Confederacy, has
passed the House of Delegates
and been referred to the State
Senate.
The bill calls for the erection
of a monument to Father Ryan
in Hagerstown, Md., listed as
the birthplace of the priest.
Rep. Francis X. Gallagher of
Baltimore and the Washington
County delegation introduced
the bill February 12, soon after
a historian and biographer of
Father Ryan, Edward A. Egan,
submitted new evidence indi
cating the priest-poet’s birth
place as Hagerstown.
The Maryland Civil War Cen
tenary Commission and a num
ber of organizations interested
in the Civil War and the Con
federacy got behind the move
after it was said that nine
states and eleven cities of the
South already have memorials
to Father Ryan.
The resolution urging the
erection of a memorial noted
that “Father Ryan has achieved
a prominent place in Amrei-
can letters as a Maryland poet
of rare ability and lyrical
charm.” It continued:
Poverty may be no crime, but
it has its penalty just the same.
