What Masturbation does to Men

Sancte Bernardus Senensis, ora pro nobis!

SAINT BERNARDINE OF SIENA, CONFESSOR Bernardine, born in Massa Marittima on the 8th of September 1380 from the noble Sienese family of the Albizzeschi, gave not obscure signs of sanctity from his childhood; in fact, educated with great care by his pious relatives, heedless of childish games, he saw himself among the first studies of grammar devoting himself to works of piety, fasting, prayer, and above all to the cult of the most blessed Virgin. His charity towards the poor was admirable. Later, towards the age of 18, in order to practice all these things better, he wanted to be enrolled in the number of servants of God in the hospital of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, from which many illustrious personalities came out for holiness. There, the care of the sick, during a plague that raged cruelly, gave him the opportunity to mortify his body and to exercise an incredible charity.

Among other virtues, despite the beauty of his forms, he most holyly kept chastity, so that not even the most licentious dared utter a less than honest word in his presence. Tried by a serious illness, endured very patiently for four months, as soon as he recovered, he conceived the plan to embrace the religious life. To make his way easier, he rented a small house at the edge of the city, where he lived in hiding, leading a more austere life, and continuously pray God to let him know the side he had to take. Then following divine revelation, received through the mouth of St. Vincent Ferrer, he chose among all the Order of Minor Observants of the Seraphic Father St. Francis, where he entered on the 8th of September 1402, took his vows in 1403 and was ordained priest in 1404. He distinguished himself for humility and patience and in all the other religious virtues. The superior of the convent, having noticed this, and already knowing of Bernardine's knowledge and expertise in the sacred letters - his training had in fact taken place at the school of the great Fathers and Doctors of the Church -, imposed on him the obligation of preaching: and he accepted it most humbly although he was not known to be suitable for his thin and faint voice, begging for God's help, he felt miraculously freed from this impediment. Those were for Italy times full of vices and crimes, and bloody factions, trampled on all divine and human laws: Bernardine traveling through cities and villages, in the Most Holy Name of Jesus, which he always had on his lips and in his heart, with word and with his example he whipped private and public sins (especially usury) and largely restored piety and morals that had disappeared. Hence it happened that illustrious cities asked the Pope as their bishop, a charge which he constantly refused with invincible humility; he also refused the post of Apostolic Preacher offered to him by Martin V and held only the post of Vicar General of the Order. However, Bernardine did not limit himself to the popular mission. In fact, during his rest times he devoted himself to the drafting of the Latin Sermons and to the formation of his brothers: his disciples were St. John of Capistrano, St. James of the Marches, blessed Bernardine of Feltre. Finally, the man of God exhausted by immense efforts, after having performed many and great miracles and also written versed and pious books, ended his 66-year life in L'Aquila in Abruzzo, on May 20, 1444. Famous for new miracles, six years after his death, on 24 May of the Jubilee year 1450, Pentecost Sunday, the Supreme Pontiff Nicholas V enrolled him in the list of Saints.

You are right... The fire's of Hell don't discriminate. Do what thou wilt. I will not Serve. PRIDEMONTH

Sancte Petre Celestine, Papa et Confessor, ora pro nobis!

In 1244 he established the Congregation later known as the Celestines under the rule of St. Benedict. He left the hermitage only when, in 1274, he went to the Second Council of Lyons to plead the cause of the monastic order he founded. On that occasion, following the wish of blessed Pope Gregory X, he celebrated Mass in front of the whole sacred assembly. Then, returning to his usual asceticism, as a lamp placed on the candlestick, not being able to remain hidden (since the Roman Church remained a long time without a shepherd), without his knowledge and although far away he was called to the chair of Peter, filling everyone with astonishment no less than with joy for the novelty. Raised to the sublimity of the pontificate on the 5th of July 1294, seeing that the multitude of business barely allowed him to give himself to his meditations, he voluntarily renounced his office and honor on the 13th of December 1294. Thus he resumed his old standard of life. He fell asleep in the Lord on May 19, 1296 in the fortress of Fumone (Frosinone), and his beautiful death was made even more glorious by the appearance of a luminous cross that was seen shining in the air, in front of the door of his home. Boniface VIII, his successor, mourned his death and started the canonical process of his canonization. Pietro Celestino became famous for many miracles both in life and after death; which legally examined, Clement V entered him in the number of Saints, on May 5, 1313. His relics are venerated in L'Aquila, in the church of Santa Maria di Collemaggio.

SAINT PETER CELESTINE, POPE AND CONFESSOR Pietro Angelerio, called Celestive V by the name he took as Pope, was born from honest and Catholic parents in Isernia in Abruzzo (today in Molise) around 1209 and 1215, and was a man of very holy life. Just adolescent, in 1239, he retired in solitude in a cavern of Mount Morrone (Sulmona) to lead an ascetic life and to preserve the soul from the seductions of the world. There he nourished the spirit of contemplation, reduced the body to servitude, wore an iron chain on bare flesh. In 1240 he moved to Rome, where he studied and received the priestly orders. Leaving Rome, in 1241 he returned to Mount Morrone, in another cave, near the small church of Santa Maria di Segezzano. Five years later he also abandoned this cave to take refuge in an even more inaccessible place on the Majella mountains, in Abruzzo, where he lived in the simplest way possible.
