Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Fifth Week of Lent Lectionary: 252The Saint of the day is Saint Julie BilliartSaint Julie Billiart's Story Born in Cuvilly, France, into a family of well-to-do farmers, young Marie Rose Julie Billiart showed an early interest in religion and in helping the sick and poor. Though the first years of her life were relatively peaceful and uncomplicated, Julie had to take up manual work as a young teen when her family lost its money. However, she spent her spare time teaching catechism to young people and to the farm laborers. A mysterious illness overtook her when she was about 30. Witnessing an attempt to wound or even kill her father, Julie was paralyzed and became a complete invalid. For the next two decades, she continued to teach catechism lessons from her bed, offered spiritual advice, and attracted visitors who had heard of her holiness. When the French Revolution broke out in 1789, revolutionary forces became aware of her allegiance to fugitive priests. With the help of friends, she was smuggled out of Cuvilly in a haycart. She then spent several years hiding in Compiegne, being moved from house to house despite her growing physical pain. She even lost the power of speech for a time. But this period also proved to be a fruitful spiritual time for Julie. It was at this time she had a vision in which she saw Calvary surrounded by women in religious habits and heard a voice saying, “Behold these spiritual daughters whom I give you in an institute marked by the cross.” As time passed and Julie continued her mobile life, she made the acquaintance of an aristocratic woman, Françoise Blin de Bourdon, who shared Julie's interest in teaching the faith. In 1803, the two women began the Institute of Notre Dame, which was dedicated to the education of the poor, young Christian girls, and the training of catechists. The following year the first Sisters of Notre Dame made their vows. That was the same year that Julie recovered from the illness: She was able to walk for the first time in 22 years. Though Julie had always been attentive to the special needs of the poor and that always remained her priority, she also became aware that other classes in society needed Christian instruction. From the founding of the Sisters of Notre Dame until her death, Julie was on the road, opening a variety of schools in France and Belgium that served the poor and the wealthy, vocational groups, teachers. Ultimately, Julie and Françoise moved the motherhouse to Namur, Belgium. Julie died there in 1816 and was canonized in 1969. Reflection Julie's immobility in no way impeded her activities. In spite of her suffering, she managed to co-found a teaching order that tended to the needs of both the poor and the well-to-do. Each of us has limitations, but the worst malady any of us can suffer is the spiritual paralysis that keeps us from doing God's work on earth.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=8041CANONIZZATE LE MARTIRI DI COMPIEGNE UCCISE DALLA RIVOLUZIONE FRANCESE di Cristina Siccardi Era verso la fine del 1600 quando la carmelitana suor Elisabeth-Baptiste del monastero di Compiègne, circa un secolo prima della Rivoluzione francese,  vide in sogno alcune monache del suo convento nella gloria del Cielo, vestite con manti bianchi e ciascuna con una palma in mano: si trattava della premonizione del martirio che avrebbero subito alcune sue future consorelle, ghigliottinate il 17 luglio del 1794 sulla piazza del Trono-Rovesciato, antica piazza del Trono, così rinominata nel 1792 e oggi place de la Nation. Pochi giorni fa, il 18 dicembre, le sedici martiri Carmelitane scalze, beatificate da san Pio X il 27 maggio 1906, sono state canonizzate da papa Francesco per equipollenza.Lo scrittore francese Georges Bernanos (1888-1948), nella sua celebre opera letteraria Dialogues des carmélites, che può considerarsi il suo testamento, scrive: «nelle cose di questo mondo, lo sapete, quando è perduta ogni speranza di conciliazione, la forza è l'estrema risorsa. Ma la nostra saggezza non è di questo mondo. Nelle cose di Dio l'estrema risorsa è il sacrificio delle anime consacrate» (Quadro terzo, scana XII).Le pagine dei Dialoghi delle Carmelitane, che invitiamo a leggere quale strenna spirituale natalizia di questo anno che volge al termine, che è stato infuocato dalla cruenta violenza nelle case e strade italiane (anche per mano di minorenni), dal terrorismo e dalle guerre a livello internazionale, sono le più affini al Diario di un curato di campagna econ La gioia formano una trilogia ideale, nella quale il motivo conduttore è il capovolgimento dei valori operato dalla Grazia divina. Nel Diario si insiste sul capovolgimento tra povertà e ricchezza, tra ingenuità fanciullesca e prudenza adulta; nei Dialoghi, come pure nelle pagine de La gioia, il capovolgimento è osservato sotto il focus del binomio forza-debolezza.UCCISE IN ODIO ALLA FEDEAttraverso la Grazia la debolezza umana diventa forza irresistibile nelle mani di Dio. D'altra parte, san Paolo ci rivela che il Signore gli ha detto: «Ti basta la mia grazia; la mia potenza infatti si manifesta pienamente nella debolezza» (2 Cor 12, 9), pertanto «Mi vanterò quindi ben volentieri delle mie debolezze, perché dimori in me la potenza di Cristo. Perciò mi compiaccio nelle mie infermità, negli oltraggi, nelle necessità, nelle persecuzioni, nelle angosce sofferte per Cristo: quando sono debole, è allora che sono forte» (2 Cor 12, 10). È esattamente ciò che hanno sperimentato e vissuto Madre Thérèse de Saint Augustin (Marie-Madeleine-Claudine Lidoine, 41 anni), nata il 22 settembre 1752 a Parigi, e le sue 15 compagne dell'Ordine delle Carmelitane scalze di Compiègne, uccise in odio alla fede.Il 15 dicembre 1789 l'Assemblea Nazionale vietò a tutti gli ordini religiosi di pronunciare nuovi voti e molti religiosi e religiose vennero dispersi, ciò avvenne anche alle sante Carmelitane di Compiègne, piccolo borgo a nord est di Parigi, alle quali venne ordinato nel 1792 di allontanarsi dal loro monastero e di togliere gli abiti religiosi. Tuttavia, le monache vollero mantenere il loro proponimento di «vivere e morire da Carmelitane» e per questa ragione, nonostante il ferreo divieto, continuarono a pregare di nascosto e in comune, quotidianamente, divise in piccoli gruppi e accolte da alcune famiglie di Compiègne vicino alla chiesa di Saint-Antoine.Nel settembre 1792, quando la Madre priora, Thérèse de Saint Augustin, sentì che nelle sue figlie cresceva il desiderio di martirio, propose loro di compiere un atto di consacrazione con il quale «la comunità si offrisse in olocausto per placare l'ira di Dio e che questa pace divina, che il suo caro Figlio era venuto a portare al mondo, potesse essere restituita alla Chiesa e allo Stato». Si organizzarono in modo tale da continuare la loro vita come all'interno del convento, entrando e uscendo dalla chiesa furtivamente. Ogni giorno pronunciavano il loro voto di totale consacrazione alla volontà di Dio, pregando perché si arrivasse alla fine delle violenze e al ritorno della pace per la Chiesa e la Francia.LA DECRISTIANIZZAZIONE DELLA FRANCIANell'autunno 1793, come parte della decristianizzazione, la pratica del culto cattolico divenne sempre più perseguitato a Compiègne come in tutto il resto della nazione, precipitata sotto il Regime del Terrore. Oggigiorno si grida giustamente all'orrore per le azioni terroristiche, senza però mai puntare il dito contro il governo del Terrore della Francia rivoluzionaria, che fece scorrere fiumi di sangue (nel nefando spettacolo di inaugurazione delle Olimpiadi 2024, Maria Antonietta decapitata, affacciata e replicata alle finestre della Conciergerie, dove fu imprigionata, teneva fra le mani la propria testa e il rosso sangue dominava, fino a fuoriuscire dal Palazzo e gettarsi nella Senna), realizzando persino il primo genocidio dell'era moderna, quello in Vandea.Il 10 giugno 1794 fu emanata una nuova legge repressiva, che eliminò diverse garanzie agli imputati (tra cui quelle di citare testimoni per la difesa o di nominare un difensore d'ufficio), negando la possibilità di emettere qualsiasi verdetto diverso dalla condanna a morte o dall'assoluzione. Dal 10 giugno 1794 al 28 luglio dello stesso anno ci furono tanti condannati a morte quanti nei quattordici mesi precedenti. Pierre-Gaspard Chaumette (1763-1794), tra i fautori del Regime del Terrore, uno dei maggiori organizzatori a Parigi del culto della Ragione e che sarà pure lui decapitato, definì la ghigliottina «un vulcano di lava che divora i nostri nemici».Tra il 22 e il 23 giugno 1794 le Carmelitane scalze furono individuate e incarcerate nel loro ex monastero «per aver tenuto conciliaboli antirivoluzionari, mantenuto corrispondenze fanatiche e conservato scritti liberticidi». Durante le perquisizioni vennero trovate alcune lettere che contenevano critiche alla Rivoluzione in corso e ciò fu sufficiente per accusarle di complottismo, ma allo stesso tempo anche di fanatismo religioso, considerato un crimine per la società.Il 12 luglio 1794, tutte quante decisero eroicamente di indossare il loro abito religioso e furono trasferite da Compiègne al Palais de la Cité di Parigi. Così, le sante monache si ritrovarono finalmente tutte insieme, potendo riprendere le ore di preghiera comunitaria. Alcuni detenuti hanno testimoniato che il giorno prima del loro martirio, il 16 luglio, celebrarono la festa liturgica di Nostra Signora del Monte Carmelo, con grande letizia.Quando vennero condotte davanti al Tribunale rivoluzionario, la Madre superiora tentò vanamente di addossarsi tutte le colpe. A questo punto, le imputate furono condannate a morte e immediatamente fatte salire su di un carro, in direzione del patibolo. Accusate di «fanatismo e sediziosità», le Carmelitane furono giustiziate, come detto, il giorno 17 e per le martiri fu un giorno di festa nuziale.IL MARTIRIO GLORIOSO DELLE MONACHEIl corteo delle spose di Cristo venne guidato da Madre Thérèse de Saint-Augustin e lungo tutto percorso, che le conduceva al luogo dell'esecuzione, cantarono inni sacri, come il Miserere e il Salve Regina. Con i loro mantelli candidi, scesero dai carretti e, in ginocchio, intonarono il Te Deum e il l'inno liturgico gregoriano Veni Creator Spiritus; quest'ultimo, oltre che a Pentecoste, viene cantato anche in particolari momenti solenni, come durante la Santa Messa del primo giorno dell'anno, oppure durante il rito di canonizzazione o di ordinazione episcopale, in occasione di concili e sinodi, e intonato nella Cappella Sistina dai cardinali prima del conclave.La più giovane, suor Constance de Jésus, era novizia e fece la genuflessione di fronte alla Madre superiora per domandarle il permesso di morire, poi, salendo gli scalini della ghigliottina, intonò il Laudate Dominum (il salmo 116). Una per una, sempre cantando, vennero ghigliottinate le altre consorelle fino ad arrivare alla penultima, suor Marie Henriette de la Providence, l'infermiera, e all'ultima, Madre Thérèse de Saint-Augustin.Gli ammutoliti spettatori di quella orribile scena rimasero sbigottiti nel vedere il giubilo delle Carmelitane scalze nel dirigersi verso il boia e la ghigliottina, come se fossero andate alle loro nozze.I corpi delle martiri furono gettati nella notte in una delle due fosse comuni del cimitero di Picpus. Undici giorni dopo, con un colpo di Stato parlamentare del 9 termidoro, anno II, ebbe termine il Regime del Terrore. Suor Marie dell'Incarnation, che aveva vissuto nel monastero di Compiègne, raccontò il martirio delle sue consorelle ne La Relation du Martyre des Seize Carmélites de Compiègne.A suor Bianca de La Force, monaca scaturita dalla fantasia letteraria, per la quale la passione, pur con diversi gradi di consapevolezza, è itinerario di ogni anima veramente cristiana, Bernanos fa pronunciare le seguenti parole: «la preghiera è un dovere, il martirio una ricompensa. […] Non si muore mai ciascuno per sé, ma gli uni per gli altri, ed anche gli uni al posto degli altri», come insegnò il Sommo Sacrificio di Gesù Cristo, nato Bambino a Betlemme in un nido di paglia.

You may not realize it, but the Catholic faith was one of the great targets of the French Revolution, birthing martyrs and saints from persecution and bloodshed. Sixteen Carmelite nuns were beheaded in 1794 for remaining true to their vows, and nothing more. During the so-called Reign of Terror which saw revolutionaries sniffing out real and imagined conspiracies, these nuns were expelled from their monastic life and offered a choice: renounce their faith, and submit to extreme secularism, or be deemed enemies of the state. The prioress Mother Teresa of St. Augustine proposed the sisters offer their lives for the salvation of France, fulfilling a prophetic dream from another sister a hundred years before. The act of sacrifice was offered while the nuns sang hymns and prayed, guillotined in front of a crowd faced with the consequence of madness. Faith Full is a Catholic podcast hosted by Tony Ganzer.

This ceremony on December 7, 2024, reconsecrated the Cathedral after the devastating fire in 2019. To a Catholic, Notre Dame is God's house. But to the French, it is part of the patrimoine, the collective French heritage and cultural identity of France. Yes, it's still God's house, but following the French Revolution France developed into a society governed by laicite—hyper secularism. During the Revolution, this Cathedral of Notre Dame was declared a temple of reason. Effigies were constructed on her floors. The traditional symbols and characteristics of true Catholicism, which is interwoven with France's history, were eyed with suspicion. Priests and nuns were forced to take oaths to the republic, and those who didn't were arrested.  I took a pilgrimage to France recently, and visited minor and major holy sites all over the country. I celebrated Mass at the cathedrals of Tours and Orleans, I prayed at the Marian apparition site of Pontmain, at the Abbaye of Mont Saint Michel, at Joan of Arc's birthplace of Domremy La Pucelle, and where she saw the Dauphin crowned king in the cathedral of Reims. These and many other sites were powerful reminders of just how Catholic France was, and is, if you know where to look. Americans often find a kinship in the idea of the French Revolution because a democracy emerged from the ruins of monarchy. But the story of the martyrs, now saints, of Compiegne, reminds us of the brutality. To learn more about these brave women religious I spoke with Jonathan O'Brien, a Catholic convert who was touched by the story of the nuns in Compiegne and wrote his book: Called to Compiegne. We spoke before Pope Francis formally declared the nuns as saints through what's called equipollent canonization: the Church believes these women are in Heaven, without reported modern miracles, as is usually required. I asked Jonathan what inspired him to dig deep into their history:

Jest druga połowa czerwca 1940 r. Położenie wojsk francuskich na froncie staje się coraz gorsze. Francuzi nie mają wyboru, muszą podjąć negocjacje zawieszenia broni. Hitler zażąda jednak, aby odbyły się one w lesie pod Compiegne, w tym samym miejscu, w którym Niemcy podpisali rozejm kończący I wojnę światową. Co więcej, Führer każe sprowadzić ten sam wagon kolejowy, w którym przedstawiciele rządu niemieckiego spotkali się z marszałkiem Fochem. Dlaczego Hitlerowi tak bardzo zależało, aby podpisać zawieszenie broni w takich okolicznościach? W najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej RMF FM odkrywamy kulisy podpisania drugiego rozejmu w Compiegne.

Can you feel it in your body when you are making the wrong decision? Like staying in something that isn't what you truly want in life? Maybe that voice is telling you something that you need to hear. Get ready to be inspired as we dive deep into the incredible journey of Regina Sih-Meynier, a resilient entrepreneur who discovered her true calling during one of the most challenging times in recent history. Picture this: early 2020, the world was grappling with the pandemic, and Regina found herself facing a sudden job loss in the pharmaceutical industry. However, she didn't rush to find another conventional job. Instead, she embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery and reinvention, a journey that would forever change her life.

Monday of the 15th Week in Ordinary Time Saints of the Day: Carmelite Nuns of Compiegne; Discalced Carmelite nuns who were caught up in the French Revolution, and sentenced to death in 1794; they went to the guillotine singing the "Salve Regina" Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 7/17/23 Gospel: Matthew 10:34-11:1

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Eighth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 348The Saint of the day is Saint Joan of ArcSaint Joan of Arc's Story Burned at the stake as a heretic after a politically-motivated trial, Joan was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. Born of a fairly well-to-do peasant couple in Domremy-Greux southeast of Paris, Joan was only 12 when she experienced a vision and heard voices that she later identified as Saints Michael the Archangel, Catherine of Alexandria, and Margaret of Antioch. During the Hundred Years War, Joan led French troops against the English and recaptured the cities of Orléans and Troyes. This enabled Charles VII to be crowned as king in Reims in 1429. Captured near Compiegne the following year, Joan was sold to the English and placed on trial for heresy and witchcraft. Professors at the University of Paris supported Bishop Pierre Cauchon of Beauvis, the judge at her trial; Cardinal Henry Beaufort of Winchester, England, participated in the questioning of Joan in prison. In the end, she was condemned for wearing men's clothes. The English resented France's military success–to which Joan contributed. On this day in 1431, Joan was burned at the stake in Rouen, and her ashes were scattered in the Seine River. A second Church trial 25 years later nullified the earlier verdict, which was reached under political pressure. Remembered by most people for her military exploits, Joan had a great love for the sacraments, which strengthened her compassion toward the poor. Popular devotion to her increased greatly in 19th-century France and later among French soldiers during World War I. Theologian George Tavard writes that her life “offers a perfect example of the conjunction of contemplation and action” because her spiritual insight is that there should be a “unity of heaven and earth.” Joan of Arc has been the subject of many books, plays, operas and movies. Reflection “Joan of Arc is like a shooting star across the landscape of French and English history, amid the stories of the Church's saints and into our consciousness. Women identify with her; men admire her courage. She challenges us in fundamental ways. Despite the fact that more than 500 years have passed since she lived, her issues of mysticism, calling, identity, trust and betrayal, conflict and focus are our issues still.” (Joan of Arc: God's Warrior by Barbara Beckwith) Saint Joan of Arc is the Patron Saint of: FranceMilitary Members Click here for more on Saint Joan of Arc!

In July 1974, sixteen members of the Carmel of Compiegne, France, were executed under the guillotine in the final days of the French Revolution's “Reign of Terror.” They are called venerated martyrs in the Catholic Church, who sang “Salve Regina” and other hymns all the way to their deaths. Their story of faith and perseverance has inspired a novella, movies, and now an opera, Francis Poulenc's “Dialogues des Carmélites,” drawn from John Dexter's classic 1977 production. Gloria interviews soprano Christine Goerke, who plays the Carmeltine prioress Madame Lidoine. They talk about Christine's own faith journey and preparation for this powerful role, along with Gloria's spiritual connection as a third-order Carmelite.  The Metropolitan Opera is showcasing Dialogues des Carmélites through January 28, 2023.  Please consider supporting this show by becoming a digital subscriber to America at www.americamagazine.org/subscribe Learn more about your ad choices.

Though the first years of her life were relatively peaceful and uncomplicated, Julie had to take up manual work as a young teen when her family lost its money. However, she spent her spare time teaching catechism to young people and to the farm laborers. A mysterious illness overtook her when she was about 30. Witnessing an attempt to wound or even kill her father, Julie was paralyzed and became a complete invalid. For the next two decades, she continued to teach catechism lessons from her bed, offered spiritual advice, and attracted visitors who had heard of her holiness. When the French Revolution broke out in 1789, revolutionary forces became aware of her allegiance to fugitive priests. With the help of friends, she was smuggled out of Cuvilly in a haycart. She then spent several years hiding in Compiegne, being moved from house to house despite her growing physical pain. She even lost the power of speech for a time. But this period also proved to be a fruitful spiritual time for Julie. It was at this time she had a vision in which she saw Calvary surrounded by women in religious habits and heard a voice saying, “Behold these spiritual daughters whom I give you in an institute marked by the cross.” As time passed and Julie continued her mobile life, she made the acquaintance of an aristocratic woman, Françoise Blin de Bourdon, who shared Julie's interest in teaching the faith. In 1803, the two women began the Institute of Notre Dame, which was dedicated to the education of the poor, young Christian girls, and the training of catechists. The following year the first Sisters of Notre Dame made their vows. That was the same year that Julie recovered from the illness: She was able to walk for the first time in 22 years. Though Julie had always been attentive to the special needs of the poor and that always remained her priority, she also became aware that other classes in society needed Christian instruction. From the founding of the Sisters of Notre Dame until her death, Julie was on the road, opening a variety of schools in France and Belgium that served the poor and the wealthy, vocational groups, teachers. Ultimately, Julie and Françoise moved the motherhouse to Namur, Belgium. Julie died there in 1816 and was canonized in 1969. Reflection Julie's immobility in no way impeded her activities. In spite of her suffering, she managed to co-found a teaching order that tended to the needs of both the poor and the well-to-do. Each of us has limitations, but the worst malady any of us can suffer is the spiritual paralysis that keeps us from doing God's work on earth.

Giovanna d'Arco (Domrémy, 1412 – Rouen, 30 maggio 1431) è stata un'eroina nazionale francese, venerata come santa dalla Chiesa cattolica, conosciuta anche come «la pulzella d'Orléans» (in francese «la pucelle d'Orléans»). Figlia di contadini, analfabeta, lasciò giovanissima la casa paterna per seguire il volere di Dio, rivelatole da voci misteriose, secondo il quale avrebbe dovuto liberare la Francia dagli Inglesi. Presentatasi alla corte di Carlo VII, ottenne dal re di poter cavalcare alla testa di un'armata e, incoraggiando le truppe con la sua ispirata presenza, riuscì a liberare Orleans e a riportare la vittoria di Patay. Lasciata sola per la diffidenza della corte e del re, Giovanna non potè condurre a termine, secondo il suo progetto, la lotta contro gli Anglo-Borgognoni; fu dapprima ferita alle porte di Parigi e nel 1430, mentre marciava verso Compiegne, fatta prigioniera dai Borgognoni, che la cedettero agli Inglesi. Tradotta a Rouen davanti a un tribunale di ecclesiastici, dopo estenuanti interrogatori fu condannata per eresia ed arsa viva. Fu riabilitata nel 1456. Nel 1920 Benedetto XV la proclamava santa.

Born of a fairly well-to-do peasant couple in Domremy-Greux southeast of Paris, Joan was only 12 when she experienced a vision and heard voices that she later identified as Saints Michael the Archangel, Catherine of Alexandria, and Margaret of Antioch. During the Hundred Years War, Joan led French troops against the English and recaptured the cities of Orléans and Troyes. This enabled Charles VII to be crowned as king in Reims in 1429. Captured near Compiegne the following year, Joan was sold to the English and placed on trial for heresy and witchcraft. Professors at the University of Paris supported Bishop Pierre Cauchon of Beauvis, the judge at her trial; Cardinal Henry Beaufort of Winchester, England, participated in the questioning of Joan in prison. In the end, she was condemned for wearing men’s clothes. The English resented France’s military success–to which Joan contributed. On this day in 1431, Joan was burned at the stake in Rouen, and her ashes were scattered in the Seine River. A second Church trial 25 years later nullified the earlier verdict, which was reached under political pressure. Remembered by most people for her military exploits, Joan had a great love for the sacraments, which strengthened her compassion toward the poor. Popular devotion to her increased greatly in 19th-century France and later among French soldiers during World War I. Theologian George Tavard writes that her life “offers a perfect example of the conjunction of contemplation and action” because her spiritual insight is that there should be a “unity of heaven and earth.” Joan of Arc has been the subject of many books, plays, operas and movies. Reflection “Joan of Arc is like a shooting star across the landscape of French and English history, amid the stories of the Church’s saints and into our consciousness. Women identify with her; men admire her courage. She challenges us in fundamental ways. Despite the fact that more than 500 years have passed since she lived, her issues of mysticism, calling, identity, trust and betrayal, conflict and focus are our issues still.” (Joan of Arc: God’s Warrior by Barbara Beckwith) Saint Joan of Arc is the Patron Saint of: France Military Members Click here for more on Saint Joan of Arc!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=297LA STORIA DELLE MARTIRI DI COMPIEGNERacconto di Padre Antonio Maria SicariLe martiri di Compiègne sono sedici monache carmelitane uccise durante la Rivoluzione Francese. La famosa «Dichiarazione dei Diritti dell'Uomo» fu promulgata il 26 agosto 1789; pochi mesi dopo giunse puntualmente la proibizione di emettere i voti religiosi (in nome della libertà individuale), e la soppressione degli Ordini religiosi, a cominciare da quelli contemplativi. Il teorema era semplice: non può essere libero chi si rinchiude in un convento e si vincola con dei voti; se qualcuno lo fa, è segno che è stato costretto. Compito della ragione (e della Nazione) è restituirgli la Libertà. Fu allora che le priore di tre monasteri carmelitani, a nome di tutti gli altri, inviarono all'Assemblea Nazionale un «indirizzo» in cui si legge:«Alla base dei nostri voti c'è la libertà più grande; nelle nostre case regna la più perfetta uguaglianza; noi qui non conosciamo né ricchi, né nobili. Nel mondo si ama dire che i monasteri rinchiudono vittime consumate lentamente dai rimorsi; ma noi confessiamo davanti a Dio che, se c'è sulla terra la felicità, noi siamo felici».Quei rivoluzionari, a riguardo di voti e monasteri, avevano la ragione illuminata da ciò che avevan letto o sentito dire da letterati, teatranti, gazzettieri e filosofi: avevano cioè idee morbose e romantiche, simili a quelle che ancor oggi si trovano in certi romanzi d'appendice o in certe «telenovelas». Perciò la persecuzione cominciò con la cavalleresca e ridicola sollecitudine con cui uno stuolo di ufficiali municipali andarono a battere alle porte dei monasteri per offrirsi come paladini e liberatori.Siamo in grado di descrivere esattamente ciò che accadde nel monastero di Compiègne, dove allora si trovavano 16 religiose professe. C'era anche una giovane novizia che all'ultimo momento era stata impedita dal prendere i voti, proprio da quel decreto che «non riconosceva più né voti religiosi né alcun altro arruolamento che sia contrario ai diritti naturali». Giunsero dunque gli ufficiali municipali, violarono la clausura e si insediarono nella grande sala capitolare: alle due porte furono messe quattro guardie. Altre guardie furono schierate, una alla porta di ogni cella, per impedire che le suore potessero comunicare tra loro, e soprattutto che avessero contatti con la Priora; anche le altre porte dei chiostri furono presidiate.L'INTERROGATORIOOgni monaca venne dunque convocata singolarmente: a ognuna il presidente «annunciava (testualmente!) di essere apportatore di libertà, e la invitava a parlare senza timore e a dichiarare se voleva uscire di clausura e tornarsene in famiglia...». Un segretario intanto prendeva accuratamente nota delle risposte, la cui veridicità è perciò garantita dagli stessi «oppositori».La priora, convocata per prima, dichiarò «di voler vivere e morire in quella santa casa».Un'anziana disse «che era suora da cinquantasei anni e ne avrebbe desiderati ancora altrettanti per consacrarli tutti al Signore».Una suora disse d'essersi fatta religiosa «di suo pieno gradimento e di propria volontà» e di essere «fermamente risoluta a conservare il proprio abito, anche a prezzo del proprio sangue».Un'altra spiegò che «non c'era felicità così grande come quella di vivere da carmelitana» e che «il suo più ardente desiderio era di vivere e di morire tale».Un'altra ancora insisté che «se avesse avuto mille vite tutte le avrebbe consacrate allo stato che aveva scelto, e che nulla poteva convincerla ad abbandonare la casa dove abitava e dove aveva trovato la sua felicità».Un'altra aggiunse che «approfittava di quella occasione per rinnovare i suoi voti religiosi, e anzi ne approfittava anche per regalare ai magistrati una poesia che aveva appena finito di scrivere, sull'argomento della sua vocazione» (ma quelli, andandosene, lasciarono il foglio sul tavolo, con disprezzo).E un'altra ancora precisò che «se avesse potuto raddoppiare i vincoli che la legavano a Dio, lo avrebbero fatto con tutte le forze e con immensa gioia».La più giovane professa, infine - che aveva emesso i voti proprio in quell'anno - osservò che «una sposa ben nata resta col suo Sposo, e che perciò niente la poteva indurre ad abbandonare il suo Sposo divino, Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo».IL LINGUAGGIO DEI MARTIRILe Monache di Compiègne condotte al patibolo cominciarono a essere martiri, quando - senza nemmeno rendersene conto - cominciarono a usare il linguaggio dei martiri: quello di chi - messo alla prova definitiva - afferma con tutto il suo cuore che «niente lo potrà mai separare da Cristo».Non venne interrogata la novizia perché non aveva voti e quindi, prima o poi, doveva tornarsene a casa per forza. Anzi i parenti erano venuti per riprendersela, ma ella stessa disse loro che «niente e nessuno poteva separarla dalla comunione con la madre e con le sorelle di quel monastero». Se ne erano andati dichiarando «di non voler più sentir parlare di lei, e nemmeno ricevere sue lettere»: dando così paradossale conferma alla scelta della ragazza.È giusto avvertire subito che solo impropriamente si parla delle «sedici carmelitane di Compiègne»: in realtà le monache uccise furono solo quattordici, le altre due vittime furono delle inservienti laiche, così affezionate che vollero condividere la sorte delle loro suore fino a condividere anche la stessa passione e la stessa gloria. Possiamo anche aggiungere con fierezza che in tutti i monasteri di Francia - che contavano allora circa millenovecento religiose - le defezioni furono soltanto cinque o sei.Intanto l'Assemblea Nazionale continuava a dare dimostrazione traumatica di come la cosiddetta «ragione illuminata» non riuscisse a comprendere quel «fatto nuovo» (anche se vecchio di secoli, e appesantito) che è la Chiesa. Si negava ad ogni costo quella evidenza che le monache si intestardivano invece a testimoniare: che si è perfettamente liberi solo nella più stretta e devota consegna di sé; che una libertà amante non teme di legarsi e di dipendere; e che contro la libertà non sta l'appartenenza, ma la costrizione.In nome di una «Uguaglianza» razionalisticamente intesa, si cominciò a volere ridisegnare la struttura stessa della Chiesa. Anzitutto si pensò di dare una «Costituzione civile» al clero: obbligare i preti a prestare un giuramento di fedeltà alla Nazione; demandare alle Assemblee dipartimentali le elezioni dei preti e dei vescovi; ridurre le diocesi a strutture amministrative; proibire i segni distintivi (ad es. l'abito religioso). Chi non accettava la serie delle disposizioni poteva essere condannato alla deportazione o alla morte come «refrattario»: refrattario a lasciarsi rendere uguale in un campo in cui Cristo aveva previsto qualche «diseguaglianza». Nemmeno il Papa doveva emergere da quella palude di egualitarismo: cristiani, preti e vescovi lo potevano al massimo genericamente venerare e informare, ma il legame con lui doveva restare comunque inincidente e superfluo. C'era poi da spingere il processo di «liberazione» fino a sciogliere la ragione da tutte le indebite pastoie, e fino a farla trionfare su tutti i «fanatismi»: dogmi, miracoli, credenze nell'al-di-là e simili. Poiché questa «libertà» e questa «uguaglianza» non potevano essere accettate da questi «uomini» (cioè: dai cristiani che volevano restar fedeli a Cristo e alla sua Chiesa), essi non potevano nemmeno essere considerati «fratelli»: e venne il Terrore. Nel solo mese di settembre 1792 si conteranno circa 1600 vittime in un massacro durato tre giorni.IL CARMELO E IL MARTIRIONel Carmelo l'idea del martirio non era un'idea strana e lontana: fa parte della spiritualità di quest'Ordine religioso il ricordo degli insegnamenti di Teresa d'Avila che fin da bambina aveva cercato il martirio per il desiderio di «vedere Dio» e di affrettare l'incontro con Lui, e aveva poi profetizzato: «In avvenire quest'Ordine fiorirà, e avrà molti martiri». «Quando si vuole servire Dio sul serio - ella insegnava - il minimo che gli si possa offrire è il sacrificio della vita». S. Giovani della Croce aveva udito un giorno un suo confratello dire che «con la grazia di Dio, sperava riuscire a sopportare pazientemente anche il martirio, se fosse stato proprio necessario», e gli aveva ribattuto con infinita meraviglia: «e lo dite con tanta tiepidezza, fra Martino? Dovreste dirlo con grandissimo desiderio!». E ancor più le carmelitane francesi non potevano dimenticare che Teresa d'Avila aveva riformato il Carmelo proprio perché «scossa dalle sventure che desolavano la terra e la Chiesa di Francia»: offrire a questo scopo la vita faceva quasi parte della loro vocazione più originaria.Nella Pasqua del 1792 la Priora di Compiègne - lasciando ogni monaca libera di decidere - propose a chi lo voleva di offrirsi con lei «in olocausto, per placare la collera di Dio, e in modo che questa divina pace che il suo caro Figlio è venuto a portare nel mondo, sia restituita alla Chiesa e allo Stato». Le due più anziane all'inizio furono prese dall'angoscia: le terrorizzava il pensiero della lugubre ghigliottina; ma poi vollero offrirsi assieme a tutte le loro sorelle. Da allora la comunità rinnoverà l'atto di offerta, ogni giorno, durante la Santa Messa, legandosi sempre più coscientemente al Sacrificio di Cristo. Il 12 settembre ricevettero l'ordine di abbandonare il monastero, che venne requisito. Subaffittarono allora delle stanze, in uno stesso quartiere, in quattro case vicine, e si divisero in gruppetti: riuscendo a comunicare tra loro passando tra i giardini e i cortili interni. Non avevano più monastero, né clausura, né grate, né chiesa: periodicamente si riunivano nell'abitazione della Priora, per averne sostegno e guida, e per il resto cercavano come potevano di osservare la loro regola di preghiera, di silenzio e di lavoro, anche in quella situazione così inattesa e precaria.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, since it is November 11th, in honor and respect of veterans and active armed service members on this day, Remembrance Day in Canada and other Commonwealth nations, as well as Veteran's Day in the United States, I will be reading the classic poem, "In Flander's Fields", written by Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae during World War 1. I will then be reading the Armistice of November 11th, 1918, which was signed between the Allied Nations and Germany at 5 am in the Forest of Compiegne and would take effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. This armistice would ultimately end the First World War which took the lives of around 20 million military and civilian souls and injure or wound some 20 million more. Tonight, we remember all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country and honor those who continue to do so. Now sit back, relax, and close your eyes because you'll feel grateful for the military service of your compatriots... guaranteed. 

These martyrs who died as the French Revolution was coming to a close were able to do since they spend time before God. 

On July 17, 1794, sixteen of the Carmelites who refused to disband were taken to Paris and sentenced to death. Subscribe to my newsletter at https://sdcason.com/subscribe --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shalonecason1/message

A delighted Olivia commented; “I’m really excited about this year’s Championships and to be selected for a fourth year running is a real achievement. None of what I’ve achieved would be possible without my ‘home team’ plus the support of World Class or my sponsors. It’s been a great season so far; I’ve managed to score personal bests in all the tests used at the Championships. My ultimate goal would be qualify for the Freestyle and improve on my 15th place from last year but a team medal would be exciting too! I’ve had two weeks of intensive training with Carl (Hester) and Rio has been going nicely so we’re ready to go to France.” The British Young Rider Team has had moderate success at the European Championships having brought home four medals, one silver and three bronze in its 30 year history.
