Posted on by AnaStpaul

Dedication of The Archbasilica of the Most Holy Saviour and of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in the Lateran (Feast):

The oldest and first in rank of the four Basilicas of Rome. The name is derived from the Laterani family, on the site of whose Palace the Basilica stands. King Constantine presented this Palace to the Church. Its annual celebration throughout the Latin Church is a sign of love and unity with the Papacy and Pope.
The original Church building, probably adapted from the hall of the palace, was dedicated to the Saviour and from its splendour was known as the Basilica Aurea. Though several times destroyed and rebuilt, the Basilica retained its ancient form, being divided by rows of columns into aisles and having an atrium with colonnades. The restoration of the 17th century changed its appearance. A Monastery was formerly between the Basilica and the City wall of which the cloister still remains. The original apse survived until 1878, when it was destroyed and a deeper apse built. The ancient mosaics have been preserved The high Altar, which is of wood and is believed to have been used by Saint Peter, is now encased in marble. In the upper part of the baldachinum are the heads of the Apostles, Peter and Paul. The Baptistery is an octagonal edifice with porphyry columns. The font is of green basalt. This Basilica has been the Cathedral of Rome since the 4th century.

Santa Maria la Real de la Almudena / Our Lady of Almudena, Madrid, Spain (712) – 9 Novemnber:

The Virgin of Almudena is a medieval icon of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God. The image is the advocation of the Virgin that serves as a Patroness of Madrid, Spain.
Intriguingly, however, its name derives from the Arabic term of Al Mudayna, or the citadel. There are various legends regarding the Statue. One of the historical legends is that in 712, prior to the capture of the Town by the advancing Muslim forces, the inhabitants of the Town secreted the image of the Virgin, for its own protection, inside the walls surrounding the town. In the 11th century, when Madrid was reconquered by the King Alfonso VI of Castile, the Christian soldiers endeavoured to find the Statue. After days of prayer, the spot on the wall hiding the icon crumbled, revealing the Statue. Another legend is that as Christian soldiers approached the Town, they had a vision of Mary imploring them to allow her to lead them into the City. Again the miraculous crumbling of the wall occurred, with the Statue showing an entry route through the walls.
The Cathedral of Madrid is dedicated to this advocation of the Virgin and her feast day, 9 November, is a major holiday in Madrid. Below is this beautiful Cathedral.

Saint of the Day – 9 November – Blessed Ludovico Morbioli (1433-1485)

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Saint of the Day – 9 November – Blessed Ludovico Morbioli (1433-1485) Penitent, Preacher, Ascetic.   The oldest biography of Blessed Ludovico is a poem composed between 1485 and 1489 by Bl Baptist of Mantua, who lived in Bologna for many years.Blessed-Ludovico-Morbioli

Ludovico belonged to a family of the lower middle class.  His father was Francis of Anthony, his mother Agnes and these were blessed with six children, five
boys and one girl.   Ludovico was born in Bologna in 1433.   His youth was happy and carefree, with little thought for God and his religious roots, nor did his life change after his marriage with Lucy, daughter of John Tura.

In 1462 he moved to Venice, where he was struck by a serious illness, taken into the hospice of the Canons Regular of St Saviour, he underwent a profound spiritual crisis that resulted in a radical change in his life.   He probably returned to Bologna in 1470 and aroused admiration and amazement for his austere and penitent conduct.   He separated from his wife, put on a plain grey habit, much like that of the Carmelites (hence the erroneous affirmation that he was a Carmelite tertiary), which he afterwards changed for a white one with a cross on his breast and which he wore both summer and winter.   He went through the streets of Bologna preaching penance and mortification and accompanied those condemned to the scaffold.   He visited other cities of Emilia (Modena, Ferrara) on a mule.   He travelled the streets holding a cross in his hand and preaching penance.

He spent his last months in a basement that he transformed into a cell like those in convents.   When he became ill, he refused every relief.   He died at Bologna on 9 November 1485, aged 52, as he himself had foretold.

He was buried in the cathedral of St Peter.   Although a popular cult to him began
immediately after his death, his bones were not found in the restoration of the
cathedral, which occurred under Gabriel Card. Paleotti (1566-97).   Already in 1582, Ludovico was inscribed in the catalogue of saints of Bologna and Card.   Paleotti included him in the Archiepiscopalis Bononiensis /Of the Archdiocese of Bologna/ in 1594.   Under Jerome Card. Boncompagni a regular process of canonisation was begun (1654) but the work was never brought to a conclusion.   In 1843 his cult was permitted for the diocese of Bologna and for the Carmelite Order, which erroneously claimed him as one of its tertiaries.   The liturgical celebration at Bologna is fixed for 17 November as an optional memorial.

Blessed Ludovico’s Beatification received full approval on 24 October 1843 after Pope Gregory XVI confirmed the late penitent’s longstanding and enduring local ‘cultus’, with his memorial prescribed for today.
