St. John of Kenty
To most Catholics in this country, St. John from Kenty—otherwise know as John Kanty or John Cantius—is
an obscure saint, but even in Europe, probably few people know of St. Pope John Paul II’s deep and lifelong
devotion to this professor saint.
Only thirteen miles from the Holy Father’s own birthplace, John was born in the small southern Polish town
of Kenty on June 24, 1390. At the age of 23, he registered for studies at the Jagiellonian University, located
in the not too distant city of Krakow—then, the capital of the Polish Kingdom. Founded 1364 by royal decree, it was the same university at which astronomer, Nicolas Copernicus, would study almost 80 years later.
Enrolled in the Department of Liberal Arts, John became a doctor of philosophy in 1418. During the following three years, he undertook further studies in preparation for the priesthood, while supporting himself by
conducting philosophy classes at the university.
Immediately following ordination, he accepted a position as rector at the prestigious school of the Canons
Regular of the Most Holy Sepulcher in Miechow. That such a school would offer him this position at his
relatively young age was evidence of John’s exceptional intellect and talents. It was there in conducting formation classes for the young novices that he became firmly grounded in the writings and spirituality of St.
Augustine.
In 1429, a position became vacant in the Philosophy Department at the Jagiellonian University. John quickly
returned to Krakow for the Job, taking up residence at the university where he remained until his death. He
also began studies in theology and after 13 long years of study intertwined with teaching and administrative
duties as head of the Philosophy Department, He finally received his doctorate. Later, after the death of his
mentor, the eminent theologian Benedykt Hesse, John assumed directorship of the university’s Theology Department.
As most learned men of his day, John spent many of his free hours hand copying manuscripts of the Holy
Scriptures, theological tracts, and other scholarly works. Although only 26 volumes have survived to our
time, their total of over 18,000 pages is a testament to his exceptional industriousness.
During the course of his life in Krakow, John became well know among the city’s residents for his generosity
and compassion toward the poor, always sacrificing his own needs in order to help those less fortunate. He
felt a special affinity toward need students at the university, helping to care for their spiritual, physical, and
academic needs, Whether it was in the classroom or in the pulpit, everyone knew him as a staunch defender
of the faith and enemy of heretics.
During these Forty Hours of Devotion, let us pray through the intercession of St. John Cantius
for all our church leaders, our new Archbishop and for all who teach the Catholic Faith
in Seminaries, Colleges and other institutions.
Blessed Karl of Austria
Archduke Karl was born on 17 August 1887
in the castle of Persenbeug in Austria. His parents
were the Archduke Otto and Princess Maria Josefa
of Saxony. Emperor Franz Josef was Karl's greatuncle. When Karl was 8 years old, a famous nun in
Sopron, Hungary, prophesied that the child “must
be enveloped in prayers, for he will be emperor
someday and will have to suffer greatly. He will be
a special target of hell.” As a result, Count and
Countess Wallis, who were charged with the education of Karl, founded a small prayer circle in 1895.
This prayer circle later became the League of
Prayers with thousands of members worldwide.
In 1911, Karl married Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma. They led a happy and exemplary married life and were blessed with eight children. They
both were devout Christians and often prayed together. Karl's main goal in this life was to understand and fulfill God's will.
After the death of his father and the assassination of his uncle Archduke Franz Ferdinand in
1914, Karl became heir to the throne of the AustroHungarian Empire. He became emperor during
World War I, on 21 November 1916, after the
death of Emperor Franz Josef. On December 30th of
the same year he was crowned Apostolic King of
Hungary.
When Karl ascended the throne, he vowed to
do everything to ban the horrors and sacrifices of
the war. He tried to halt the bloodshed, but all his
attempts failed due to his adversaries and his German allies. Nevertheless, Emperor Karl reduced the
cruelty of the war: he forbade the use of poisonous
gases on the eastern front and the bombardment of
the civilian population, and forbade his troops to
plunder. He banned dueling and abolished
“binding”, a form of punishment, in the army. During the war, he organized soup kitchens, had horses
from the imperial stable haul coal for the population of Vienna, fought against corruption and
usury, and introduced price control, to make life
easier for the poor. He and his family lived on official wartime rations.
Emperor Karl instituted the first ministry for
social assistance and health in the world, to take
care of disabled soldiers, immigrants, refugees, the
unemployed and the wives and children of the deceased soldiers.
After the monarchy collapsed in
1918, Karl refused to abdicate. He declared, “My
crown is a sacred deed entrusted to me by my God. I
must never give up this bond or my people.” In November 1918, he temporarily renounced the exercise of his imperial prerogatives.
In March 1919,
the imperial family
was expelled from
Austria, after Switzerland had agreed to
grant them asylum.
The following days, the
National Assembly of
Austria declared the
confiscation of all their
properties and personal belongings.
Moved by his
coronation oath and by Pope Benedict XV's request,
Emperor Karl returned twice to Hungary in 1921,
to regain the throne: once by train, disguised, and
once by plane. These attempts failed, due to the betrayal of the Hungarian Regent Miklós Horthy,
whom Karl had helped to appoint, and due to the
King's wish to avoid civil war. After the second attempt Karl and Zita were arrested and taken to the
Abbey of Tihany as prisoners. In November 1921,
they were exiled to the island of Madeira, where
they lived in a humid house in poverty. The children arrived a few months later.
In Madeira, Emperor Karl felt that God
asked of him one last and total sacrifice for the
peace and unity of his peoples: the sacrifice of his
life. He told Zita, “God has given me the grace so
that there now remains nothing on this earth that I
would not be willing to sacrifice out of my love for
Him and for the benefit of the Holy Church.” On
the 9 March 1922, the Emperor fell sick with a fit
of shivers, coughing and extreme difficulties in
breathing. During the 3 weeks of fatal illness he
never complained, and prayed without ceasing. He
forgave all those who conspired against him. His
last words were, “Thy will be done, Jesus, Jesus,
come! Yes – yes! My Jesus, as Thou willst. Jesus...
Jesus!”, and on the 1st of April, this blessed Christian man, emperor, husband and father of eight
gave back his pure soul to God. His body was laid to
rest in the beautiful church of Nossa Senhora do
Monte in Funchal, the capital of Madeira.
Emperor Karl of Austria governed with Truth and
Charity, always keeping the Catholic Faith as his
guiding light. Let us pray for all Civil Leaders
throughout the world but especially in our own
country, that they may be enlightened by the words
of the Gospel, change their hearts and minds to
conform their wills to doing God’s will as they conduct their activities in the service of their fellow
man.
