May 13th - St. Peter de Regalado
(REGALATUS)

THIS saint was descended of a noble family, and having lost his father
in his infancy, in the 13th year of his age, he extorted with great
difficulty his mother's consent to enter himself in the Franciscan
friars at Valladolid, of which city he was a native. By his
extraordinary fervour he was distinguished among his brethren. When F.
Peter Villacretios, who had established a rigorous reformation of his
Order of Aquileria, in the diocess of Osma, founded a second retired
convent more like a prison than a house, at Tribulos on the Deuro,
near Aquileria, our saint, at his earnest request, was admitted one of
this colony. By the austerity of his penance, his assiduity in
contemplation, and the sublime gift of prayer with which he was
endowed, he seems to have equalled the most eminent saints of his
Order. The sufferings of our divine Redeemer were the principal
entertainment of his soul, and he lived in a constant union with God.

He observed nine Lents, fasting on bread and water. =C2 When his body was
exhumed thirty-six years after his death, at the instance of Isabella
the Catholic, it was found incorrupt and placed in a more precious
tomb. He was beatified by Innocent XI, 11 March, 1684, and canonized
by Benedict XIV, 29 June, 1746

Upon the death of F. Villacretios he succeeded him in the government
of his reformed congregation, and died at Aquileria on the 30th of
March, in the sixty-sixth year of his age, of our Lord 1456. He was
beatified by Innocent XI, 11 March, 1684, and was canonized by
Benedict XIV. In 1746, 29 June, and his name is placed in the Roman
Martyrology on the 13th of May, the day of the translation of his
relics.

In art he is represented with flames bursting from his heart.

Labor without stopping; do all the good works you can while you still
have the time.
--Saint John of God

Bible Quote
That he was caught up into paradise, and heard secret words, which it
is not granted to man to utter. =C2 For such an one I will glory; but for
myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities. =C2  (2 Corinthians
4-5)

May 13th - Our Lady of Fatima

The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared six times to
three shepherd children ("the Three Seers") near the town of Fatima,
Portugal between May 13th and October 13th 1917. Appearing to the
children, the Blessed Virgin told them that She had been sent by God
with a message for every man, woman and child living in our century.
Coming at a time when civilization was torn asunder by war and bloody
violence, She promised that Heaven would grant peace to all the world
if Her requests for prayer, reparation and consecration were heard and
obeyed.
"If My requests are granted ... there will be peace"

Our Lady of Fatima explained to the children that war is a punishment
for sin and warned that God would further castigate the world for its
disobedience to His Will by means of war, hunger and the persecution
of the Church, the Holy Father and the Catholic Faithful. God's Mother
prophesied that Russia would be God's chosen "instrument of
chastisement," spreading the "errors" of atheism and materialism
across the earth, fomenting wars, annihilating nations and persecuting
the Faithful everywhere.

In all Her appearances at Fatima, the Blessed Mother repeatedly
emphasized the necessity of praying the Rosary daily, of wearing the
Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel and of performing acts of reparation
and sacrifice. To prevent the terrible chastisement at the hands of
Russia and to convert "that poor nation", Our Lady requested the
solemn public Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart by the
Pope and all the Catholic bishops of the world. She also asked that
the Faithful practice a new devotion of reparation on the first
Saturday of five consecutive months ("the Five First Saturdays")
