Walking with the Saints l Feast Day of St. Genevieve, Patron Saint  of Paris l January 3 In the study of history, you must have heard of Attila the Hun. He was one of the fiercest barbarian rulers who pillaged cities, invaded Greece, Italy, France and other European countries. Our saint for today, Saint Genevieve, is known to have saved Paris from being sacked by Attila. Genevieve was born in Naterre, France in 422 of a pious peasant couple. She was brought up in the love and fear of God and she practiced many charitable works, did much prayer and penance. When the holy Bishop St. Germanus visited her place, many people came to him to ask for his blessing. Among them was the 15-year-old Genevieve. Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Bishop sensed the holy life of Genevieve and singled her out by prophesying about her future sanctity. He led her to the church, accompanied by many parishioners, and consecrated her to God. He presented her with a cross engraved brass medal to be worn around her neck, as a reminder of the consecration she made of herself to God. He ordered her to never wear any other bracelets, necklaces or jewelry, to avoid falling into vanity. Although not officially recognized as a religious group, the Bishop entrusted to Genevieve the care of young girls to teach them how to love God, to pray and to preserve purity. Genevieve faithfully led the young virgins to holiness and to a greater love for Jesus. After the death of her parents, Genevieve went on to live with her grandmother in Paris. She shared the faith to others, performed acts of charity, prayed for the sick. Her dedicated Christian way of life was filled with the signs of the Holy Spirit working through her and she was given the gift of prophesy. The signs included miracles and spiritually inspired predictions. She frequently had visions of heavenly angels and saints. However, when she shared those visions and experiences of the Lord, people began to turn against her. They called her a hypocrite and accused her of being a false visionary. In fact, they were determined to drown her in a lake of fire. However,  Bishop Germanus intervened and silenced those who were persecuting her and accusing her  falsely. Genevieve received divine guidance. When Attila and his army of Huns came upon Paris, the Parisian Christians were prepared to leave their homes, and escape to another place, but Genevieve spoke to them and convinced them to stay, within their homes, fast and pray to the Lord. She assured them they would have the protection of Heaven. Her prediction came true as Attila suddenly changed his path and turned away from Paris. When Clovis became king of Gaul  (then composed of France, part of Belgium and Germany), and was converted to Christianity, Genevieve had a great influence on him through his holy wife St. Clothilda. Genevieve was the one who suggested to him to build a church in honor of Sts. Peter and Paul in Paris. After a life pf prayer, austerity and service Genevieve died in 512. Many miracles happened near her tomb, and she was acclaimed a saint. Her body was later interred in the church which was built in honor of Sts. Peter and Paul and the church was named after her. Her intercessions were so great. Once, she saved the city from a great flood. She cured the small pox of a king in Gaul. A plague broke out in Paris and some 14, 000 died in a short time. After prayers and a procession in her honor, only three persons died of the disease. During the French Revolution, the church was taken over by the Revolutionists and given the name Pantheon, to serve as burial place for distinguished Frenchmen. Besides being the patron of Paris, France, she is also the patron for young girls. She is particularly invoked in time of drought, flood, illnesses, fire and other disasters. Her feast day is January 3. Prayer: “St. Genevieve, you pleased God with your holy life, intercede for us that we may imitate your virtuous life.”

Hey, friends! Today's episode is all about a woman who took a vow as a young girl and, through prayer, seems to have stopped Attila the Hun from invading Paris. So let's find out what happens when another Saint encourages you to a life of holiness with our new friend: Saint Genevieve.

Holy Saints SeriesOn his way to combat heresy in Britain, St. Germanus of Auxerre made an overnight stop at Nanterre, France. In the crowd that gathered to hear him speak, Germanus spotted Genevieve, a beautiful 7-year-old girl, and he foresaw her future holiness. When he asked little St. Genevieve if she wanted to dedicate her life to God, she enthusiastically said yes. So he laid hands on her with a blessing, thus launching the spiritual career of one of France's most admired saints.This Podcast series is available on  all major platforms.See more resources, maps, and information at:https://www.dwworldhistory.comCheckout the video version at:https://www.youtube.com/DWWorldHistoryA PDF Publication is available for this episode at:https://www.patreon.com/DWWorldHistorySupport the show

Paris itself is a living museum. Filled with over 150 museums and the streets that ooze with history and architecture spanning centuries. Before we had my beloved Musée du Louvre we had the churches that filled their walls with art from some of the biggest artists of the time. The Louvre opened in 1793 and over three hundred years before Notre Dame de Paris opened its doors. Art of the past was very different then it is now. Today it is just as much about the artist itself sometimes selling for millions of dollars just because of their  name. Centuries ago the only way for an artist to be seen was in the churches and the Salons. For this we are very lucky and you can see some of the greatest French painters for free by just popping into a few of the churches in Paris. In the newest episode of Paris History Avec a Hemingway on La Vie Creative podcast we talk about many of the ones you should search out when you arrive. You can discover the painter of Louis XIV Charles Le Brun in Saint Nicolas du Chardonnet where he was also laid to rest. The designer of Vaux le Vicomte was appointed by the king to bring the vision of Versailles to life as well as the Galerie d'Apollon in the Louvre where you can find another master. Eugene Delacroix was the leader of the Romantic movement and believed the best way for an artist to be remembered was to hang large scale pieces in public spaces. In 1824 Delacroix was commissioned to create a painting for Saint Paul Saint Louis. On the left of the transept above the door is Delacroix's Le Christ au Jardin des Olivers shows why he is the master of Romanticism. A short walk away in the Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement church is Delacroix's take on the familiar scene of La Pietà depicting the body of Christ in the arms of the Virgin after he is pulled down from the cross, was painted directly onto the wall of the Saint Genevieve chapel. Of course his greatest work was inside the Eglise Saint Sulpice that he created in those last years of his life. Listen to the newest episode to hear all about these paintings and more. More info and photos: https://www.claudinehemingway.com/paris-history-avec-a-hemingway-podcast-1Support Claudine on Patreon and get more of Paris and all her stories and benefits like discounts on her tours, custom history and exclusive content  https://www.patreon.com/bleublonderougefacebook https://www.facebook.com/BleuBlondeRougeInstagram https://www.instagram.com/claudinebleublonderouge/Join us every Sunday for a LIVE walk through Paris filled with history https://www.claudinehemingway.com/eventsSign up for the weekly Blue Blonde Rouge newsletter  https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5e8f6d73375c490028be6a76 Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/join/Laviecreative)

Good morning and welcome to Waking up with the Saints! Today we'll be talking about St. Genevieve, an awesome Saint that shows incredible determination!Thanks for listening, God bless! :D

She was born near Paris to a family of wealthy landowners. When she was about ten years old St Germanus of Auxerre (July 31), passing through the region on his way to Britain, discerned a special divine purpose for her, and told her parents that she had been chosen for the salvation of many. "He asked her that day, and early the next, if she would consecrate herself to holy virginity for Christ and, on both occasions, she answered that it was her dearest wish. Then he blessed her and gave her a copper coin inscribed with the Cross to wear around her neck, telling her never to wear gold, silver or pearls, but to elevate her mind above the small beauties of this world in order to inherit eternal and heavenly adornments." (Synaxarion)   Convents were unknown at that time in Gaul, so Genevieve lived as a solitary, in a cell in her own house, first with her parents then, after their death, with her godmother in Paris. She devoted herself to the poor, giving away everything that came into her hands, except the small amount that she needed to feed herself on bread and beans. (When she passed the age of fifty, she was commanded by the bishops to add some fish and milk to her diet). She kept Lent from Theophany to Pascha, during which time she never left her house. She was never afraid to rebuke the powerful for their oppression of the weak and the poor, and thus earned many powerful enemies; but the people's love for her, and the support of the Church, kept her from persecution.   It became her custom to walk to church on Sundays in procession with her household and many pious laypeople. Once the candle borne at the front of the procession (it was still dark) blew out in a rainstorm. The Saint asked for the candle and, when she took it in her hand, it re-lit and stayed lighted until they reached the church. At several other times, candles lit spontaneously in her hand; for this reason her icon shows her holding a candle.   She traveled throughout Gaul (modern-day France) on church business, being greeted with all the honors usually accorded a bishop. Several times she saved the city of Paris from the assaults of barbarian tribes through her prayers, by pleading with barbarian chieftains, and once by organizing a convoy to bring grain to the besieged city.   Saint Genevieve reposed in peace at the age of eighty. Through the centuries since then, she has shown her holy protection of the city of Paris countless times, and her relics in the Church of Saint Genevieve have wrought innumerable healings. Her relics were many times carried in huge processions in times of war, pestilence or other national trial. These relics were mostly burned and thrown into the River Seine by the godless Revolutionaries in 1793, but, as the Synaxarion concludes, "those who continue to invoke Saint Genevieve with faith, find her to be well and truly alive."

She was never afraid to rebuke the powerful for their oppression of the weak and the poor, and thus earned many powerful enemies; but the people's love for her, and the support of the Church, kept her from persecution.   It became her custom to walk to church on Sundays in procession with her household and many pious laypeople. Once the candle borne at the front of the procession (it was still dark) blew out in a rainstorm. The Saint asked for the candle and, when she took it in her hand, it re-lit and stayed lighted until they reached the church. At several other times, candles lit spontaneously in her hand; for this reason her icon shows her holding a candle.   She traveled throughout Gaul (modern-day France) on church business, being greeted with all the honors usually accorded a bishop. Several times she saved the city of Paris from the assaults of barbarian tribes through her prayers, by pleading with barbarian chieftains, and once by organizing a convoy to bring grain to the besieged city.   Saint Genevieve reposed in peace at the age of eighty. Through the centuries since then, she has shown her holy protection of the city of Paris countless times, and her relics in the Church of Saint Genevieve have wrought innumerable healings. Her relics were many times carried in huge processions in times of war, pestilence or other national trial. These relics were mostly burned and thrown into the River Seine by the godless Revolutionaries in 1793, but, as the Synaxarion concludes, "those who continue to invoke Saint Genevieve with faith, find her to be well and truly alive."

She was born near Paris to a family of wealthy landowners. When she was about ten years old St Germanus of Auxerre (July 31), passing through the region on his way to Britain, discerned a special divine purpose for her, and told her parents that she had been chosen for the salvation of many. "He asked her that day, and early the next, if she would consecrate herself to holy virginity for Christ and, on both occasions, she answered that it was her dearest wish. Then he blessed her and gave her a copper coin inscribed with the Cross to wear around her neck, telling her never to wear gold, silver or pearls, but to elevate her mind above the small beauties of this world in order to inherit eternal and heavenly adornments." (Synaxarion)   Convents were unknown at that time in Gaul, so Genevieve lived as a solitary, in a cell in her own house, first with her parents then, after their death, with her godmother in Paris. She devoted herself to the poor, giving away everything that came into her hands, except the small amount that she needed to feed herself on bread and beans.

You've probably heard the name Audubon as in the Audubon Society. But, Audubon is also the name of a famous man whose exploits have ties to St. Louis."St. Louis of course was the jumping off point for the west and anybody headed west came through here but in the 1830's and 40's there literally was a parade of different artists who came through St. Louis and headed up the Missouri river usually for the Rocky Mountains and did just gorgeous artwork in an age when there wasn't any photography." said Dr. Robert Archibald.The best of them all was John James Audubon. he was a French-American whose career included a stint in Missouri's favorite French town."Saint Genevieve was basically kind of a general store business, dry goods and he kind of gave that up realizing his forte was art." said Dr. Robert Archibald.His most critical success was his book Birds of North America. But he also created a book four footed creatures as well."He wasn't simply an illustrator. He was also doing his own research on birds and his depictions of birds were accurate enough that scientists could literally classify the animal based on Audubon's rendering of it." said Dr. Robert Archibald.Audubon had no connection to the wildlife organization that bears his name. It is a name that still bears a cache. Last year, one of the few privately owned copies of Birds of North America sold at auction for 11.5 million dollars. That's the most ever paid at an auction for a single book.

Paris has avoided destruction time and time again in her long history.  Saint Genevieve got down on her knees and, as if by miracle, Attila and his horde avoided Paris. Vikings came and went, siege, disease and urban planners all reeked havoc on Paris. Both World War I and II threated Paris with ruin. So it was surprising for me to learn that the Seine, the river that runs through Paris, fundamental to the cities identity, nearly caused its downfall in 1910 when it flooded.

Hello All, I have uploaded a two hour mix which is a musical snapshot of what I play at my weekend residency, Saint Genevieve, in Houston Tx. Originally posted as a weekly mix for our Face book page, this segment illustrates a very broad and unique musical perspective of what you might hear on any given night that I am playing. From rare grooves and classics to broken beats and house, it covers the spectrum of all things deep and funky. Like our patrons at Saint Genevieve, the musical style appeals to all ages and a diverse array of cultural backgrounds. Perfect for you ipod or get together, I hope you enjoy my first installment. Best Regards, DJ Jason Hilbert
