St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows (1838-1862 )

St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows (1838-1862 )

Born in Italy into a large family and baptized Francis, he lost his mother when he was only four years old. He was educated by the Jesuits and, having been cured twice of serious illnesses, came to believe that God was calling him to the religious life. Young Francis wished to join the Jesuits but was turned down, probably because of his age, not yet 17. Following the death of a sister to cholera, his resolve to enter religious life became even stronger and he was accepted by the Passionists. Upon entering the novitiate he was given the name Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Ever popular and cheerful, Gabriel quickly was successful in his effort to be faithful in little things. His spirit of prayer, love for the poor, consideration of the feelings of others, exact observance of the Passionist Rule as well as his bodily penances—always subject to the will of his wise superiors— made a deep impression on everyone.

His superiors had great expectations of Gabriel as he prepared for the priesthood, but after only four years of religious life symptoms of tuberculosis appeared. Ever obedient, he patiently bore the painful effects of the disease and the restrictions it required, seeking no special notice. He died peacefully on February 27, 1862, at age 24, having been an example to both young and old.

Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was canonized in 1920.

MATCH IN heaven??

Match Made in Heaven
A young couple were driving down the road one day, happily,
deliriously in love and due to be married the next day. Suddenly, a
large truck swerved from the oncoming lanes into their car! BOOM! And
they both died.

At the Pearly Gates, the young couple confronted St. Peter. "Sir, you
have to help us! We were to be married tomorrow. Is there any way we
can be married in Heaven?"

"Hmmm," replied St. Peter, "I don't recall there ever being a marriage
in Heaven. Well, let's take it up with God and see what he says."

So they approached God with their plea. God sat for a moment,
pondering the request. Then he looked down and said, "Come back in
five years and ask me again."

Five years later, the couple approached God again, even more in love
than ever and pleading that he allow their marriage. God paused for
quite a while, musing over their request. Then he spoke, "Come back in
five years and ask me again."

And once again, five years later, the couple was again in the presence
of God, more in love than ever and begging God's permission for the
third time to marry. This time God smiled broadly and thundered, "Yes
my children, you may marry!"

Well, the wedding went off beautifully, the reception was huge,
everyone thought the bride was simply breathtaking and the groom was
soooo handsome, and everyone was happy! Until...

Two years later, the couple was back before God, and things were not
looking so good. The couple had come to the realization almost
immediately that although marriages were made in heaven, they didn't
last very long there! And, in spite of their struggles to come to
terms with the situation, they had decided there simply was no
alternative but to get a divorce.

Black clouds fractured by lightening rolled across the sky, and the
ground shook with explosive thunder. God glared down at the tiny
couple before him, his face becoming dark and angry, and he roared,
"Divorce?! Impossible!!! It took us TEN years just to find a priest in
Heaven! Do you have any idea how long it will take to find a
LAWYER?!!"

FATJMA

Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three children, Portuguese
shepherds from Aljustrel, received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da
Iria, near Fatima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. At that time,
Europe was involved in an extremely bloody war. Portugal itself was in
political turmoil, having overthrown its monarchy in 1910; the
government disbanded religious organizations soon after.

At the first appearance, Mary asked the children to return to that
spot on the thirteenth of each month for the next six months. She also
asked them to learn to read and write and to pray the rosary “to
obtain peace for the world and the end of the war.” They were to pray
for sinners and for the conversion of Russia, which had recently
overthrown Czar Nicholas II and was soon to fall under communism. Up
to 90,000 people gathered for Mary’s final apparition on October 13,
1917.

Less than two years later, Francisco died of influenza in his family
home. He was buried in the parish cemetery and then re-buried in the
Fatima basilica in 1952. Jacinta died of influenza in Lisbon, offering
her suffering for the conversion of sinners, peace in the world and
the Holy Father. She was re-buried in the Fatima basilica in 1951.
Their cousin, Lucia dos Santos, became a Carmelite nun and was still
living when Jacinta and Francisco were beatified in 2000. Sister Lucia
died in February 2005 at the age of 97. The shrine of Our Lady of
Fatima is visited by up to 20 million people a year.
