Last Time on HOARATS
This Time…
In my particular series of historical blog posts (Heck of a Ride Around the Sun) I have tried to include and insert many many canonized Catholic Saints, Blesseds, Venerables and Servants of God into the timelines. I may have missed some and it’s hard to go back and drop them into history. So I’m putting them here in this particular series of articles on the Catholic Bard’s List of Saints.
I took the General Roman Calendar, some books on saints, some other articles I wrote to make this timeline.
Some saints have more info then other saints. Some just have their name in this list because their name is in the General Roman Calendar. Perhaps with more time I could find out more about them and include it in this piece. Also if you didn’t see your favorite saint listed, it’s because I can’t list everyone. I would have to create a website just for that purpose. But of course that has already been done. You can find that website here.

Founded on December 21, 1848, and raised to an abbey in 1851, Gethsemani is considered to be the motherhouse of all Trappist and Trappistine monasteries in the United States. Gethsemani is the oldest Trappist monastery in the country that is still operating.[citation needed]
Following the Rule of Saint Benedict, the Trappist monks live a contemplative life of faithful prayer and work. The monastery is situated on a working farm of 2,000 acres (810 ha). The monks support themselves and the abbey through its store, Gethsemani Farms, offering handmade fruitcake and bourbon fudge (both onsite and by mail order).

She began to have dreams and visions in which she was presented to St Teresa surrounded by nuns, who called to her.

He was a Congolese Catholic layman and bricklayer who suffered martyrdom. Due to the nature of his martyrdom, he is sometimes referred to as “martyr of the Brown scapular”.
Bakanja was baptised into the Roman Catholic Church at eighteen years of age through the ministry of Trappist missionaries in the Belgian Congo. He was a very devout convert and catechist. Bakanja had a great love for the Blessed Virgin Mary that he expressed through recitation of the rosary and by being invested in the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.His Belgian colonist employers had ordered him to cease sharing the gospel as well as remove the Brown scapular that he wore. Isidore’s refusal to comply with the demands of his supervisor resulted in his being brutally beaten and chained.
As a result of the beating and persistent ill treatment he received, Bakanja’s wounds became severely infected. As his condition worsened his supervisor sought to keep him from the view of the plantation’s inspector. However, Bakanja was discovered and taken to the inspector’s home for treatment. His condition had deteriorated so severely, however, that no further medical attention could help him. At this point Isidore told the inspector “tell them that I am dying because I am a Christian.” Missionaries in the area visited Isidore and urged him to forgive the supervisor. He assured them that he already had, declaring “When I am in heaven, I shall pray for him very much.” In the following months, more than 4,000 baptisms were recorded in the Busira area, which was seen as the fruit of Bakanja’s martyrdom.

I remember his stating that social justice could be obtained only by starting with the individual; that is, when the individual was just, society was just, and that the Catholic could do the most by example. Which means, in effect, that Catholics must be converted to Catholicism before attempting to convert non-Catholics to it.”[18] Maurin himself wrote an essay about Schmitt for the newspaper, later reprinted in his book Catholic Radicalism.
