Full Text of Readings Pentecost Sunday Lectionary: 62, 63 The Saint of the day is Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi's Story Mystical ecstasy is the elevation of the spirit to God in such a way that the person is aware of this union with God while both internal and external senses are detached from the sensible world. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi was so generously given this special gift of God that she is called the “ecstatic saint.” Catherine de' Pazzi was born into a noble family in Florence in 1566. The normal course would have been for her to have married into wealth and enjoyed comfort, but Catherine chose to follow her own path. At 9, she learned to meditate from the family confessor. She made her first Communion at the then-early age of 10, and made a vow of virginity one month later. At 16, Catherine entered the Carmelite convent in Florence because she could receive Communion daily there. Catherine had taken the name Mary Magdalene and had been a novice for a year when she became critically ill. Death seemed near, so her superiors let her make her profession of vows in a private ceremony from a cot in the chapel. Immediately after, Mary Magdalene fell into an ecstasy that lasted about two hours. This was repeated after Communion on the following 40 mornings. These ecstasies were rich experiences of union with God and contained marvelous insights into divine truths. As a safeguard against deception and to preserve the revelations, her confessor asked Mary Magdalene to dictate her experiences to sister secretaries. Over the next six years, five large volumes were filled. The first three books record ecstasies from May of 1584 through Pentecost week the following year. This week was a preparation for a severe five-year trial. The fourth book records that trial and the fifth is a collection of letters concerning reform and renewal. Another book, Admonitions, is a collection of her sayings arising from her experiences in the formation of women religious. The extraordinary was ordinary for this saint. She read the thoughts of others and predicted future events. During her lifetime, Mary Magdalene appeared to several persons in distant places and cured a number of sick people. It would be easy to dwell on the ecstasies and pretend that Mary Magdalene only had spiritual highs. This is far from true. It seems that God permitted her this special closeness to prepare her for the five years of desolation that followed when she experienced spiritual dryness. She was plunged into a state of darkness in which she saw nothing but what was horrible in herself and all around her. She had violent temptations and endured great physical suffering. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi died in 1607 at age 41, and was canonized in 1669. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on May 25. Reflection Intimate union, God's gift to mystics, is a reminder to all of us of the eternal happiness of union he wishes to give us. The cause of mystical ecstasy in this life is the Holy Spirit, working through spiritual gifts. The ecstasy occurs because of the weakness of the body and its powers to withstand the divine illumination, but as the body is purified and strengthened, ecstasy no longer occurs. See Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle, and John of the Cross' Dark Night of the Soul, for more about various aspects of ecstasies.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Zuppa di Porro dell'30 aprile 2026: rassegna stampa quotidiana

Another one of these mind bending podcasts. In this one, Jennifer and I begin to speak to Luana Anders offstage about how to communicate with loved ones, and the importance of daily meditation.  At some point we talk about how we can communicate with trees, animals, other beings we share the planet with. When asked what Luana Anders, our guide on the Flipside wanted to discuss, she pointed Jennifer's attention to me - and a Monk in a chair. Luana said it was about me being that Monk. For fans of the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE, there's a transcript of the past life regression where I recalled being a Dominican monk in Florence.  His name was Antoninus Pierozzi.  What makes this conversation so unreal is that I was just reading the book by Marcello Simonetta about the Pazzi conspiracy in Florence - something that I wrote about for HBO, and years later learned that I could recall a lifetime in that city when all the events took place. I had just mentioned this to Simonetta, when we did the podcast. Jennifer did not know about the book or about my email to him - but Luana clearly does. And she mentions it.  And I talked about it - again the transcript is in the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE. The chapter is called THE SAINT. Just another day at the office. Hope this helps someone!
