Dive into the extraordinary life of Saint Gerard Majella, an Italian lay brother of the Redemptorists, whose unwavering devotion to mirror the sacrifices and humiliations of Jesus Christ was awe-inspiring. Despite his frail health, he surpassed the work of his peers, earning the title Father of the Poor for his boundless charity. Revered for his angelic purity, he bore false accusations with admirable patience, leading St. Alphonsus to declare, Brother Gerard is a saint. His divine gifts extended to profound spiritual insight, prophecy, discernment of spirits, bilocation, and seemingly limitless power over nature, sickness, and demons. Today, people seek his intercession for a myriad of causes, including children, expectant mothers, the falsely accused, and more. Join us as we explore the legacy of this saint, drawing from sources like the 1919 Catholic Encyclopedia and Wikipedia.

Recording by Aubrey Kinser. Life of Saint Gerard Magella by
(00:25):
Reverend O. R. Vassal Phillips, Chapter seventeen, His last journey.
New buildings were at this time in course of erection
at Capisley, and immediately after his second return from Naples,
Saint Gerard was appointed Clerk of the works. At first sight,
(00:47):
it might have been thought that the extremely delicate state
of his health and his marked attraction for the contemplative
life would have rendered him unsuited for this occupations. However,
knew well that, as the Apostle reminds us, genuine piety
is useful for all things. While Gerard, on his side,
(01:11):
in the true spirit of his vocation, had long since
learned to unite the activity of Martha with the repose
of Mary, and had never hesitated to leave his master's
feet to do his master's work, he was, as usual
indefatigable in his new office. Ever, at the post of
(01:33):
duty he did not know what it was to spare himself.
He saw to everything provided for. Everything was to be
found everywhere. While Gerard was superintending the progress of the building,
nothing could fail, for God was with him. One day
the rector told him that he had come to the
(01:56):
end of his resources. He had no more money which
to pay the workmen. Write a letter, Reverend Father, to
our Lord in the blessed Sacrament, was the Holy Brother's suggestion.
The letter was written, and Gerard himself was commissioned to
lay it before the Throne of Grace and mercy. Accordingly,
(02:18):
he hastened into the church, the petition in his hand,
placed it upon the altar, and then, with a familiarity
in which love for once triumphed over reverence, ventured to
knock softly at the door of the tabernacle and say, behold,
O Lord, our prayer. Now it is for thee to answer.
(02:42):
On Saturday, the wages had to be paid. The whole
of the preceding Friday night, Saint Gerard spent in the
church imploring Our Lord to come to his aid and
to that of the community. His confidence did not fail
of its reward. At break of day, he knocked a
(03:02):
second time at the tabernacle door, entreating the divine prisoner
of Love not to forget his children's means. He had
not yet come down the steps of the sanctuary before
he heard a ring at the convent door. Hastening to
the hall, he found there two bags full of money,
(03:23):
which he took with much thankfulness to the Rector. Once more,
all that the Superior could find to say was that
Gerard was the spoiled child of divine providence. However, it
was clearly not right to tempt Almighty God by neglecting
the step required by common prudence. Unless the buildings were
(03:48):
to be left in an altogether unfinished condition, it was
necessary that money should be raised without further delay. Therefore,
after the Archbishop had granted the necessary permission, it was
determined to send two of the lay brothers on a
questing expedition through the diocese. The Father Rector straightway thought
(04:12):
of Saint Gerard as the most suitable person that he
could hope to find for this delicate office. But the
saint's health was so shattered, and the heat of the
Italian dog days threatened to be so excessive, that his
Superior hesitated. However, he sent for the Holy Brother and
(04:32):
asked him how he would be able to bear the
fatigue of the proposed journey. There was no delay about
the answer. He was ready, he said, for anything. Still,
the Father Director was not satisfied, laying his hand on
Gerard's head. Without speaking a word. In his own mind,
(04:53):
he formed the sentence, in the name of the Most
Holy Trinity, I wish that you should be well, and
that you should go and make this quest. Gerard looked
at the rector and smiled. On being asked at what
he was laughing, he replied, your reverence speaks, and yet
(05:14):
you do not speak. You wish me to be well
and to make this quest. I will be well and
I will make this quest. Yes, O Lord, I wish
to be well. I wish to obey. Thus he started
obedience on his lips, obedience in his heart. From the
(05:36):
very commencement, miracles cast a halo round his path. The
first village in which he made an appearance was called Sinarchia.
Here they were just on the point of completing the
construction of a new parish church. The villagers were in
great trouble about some large chestnut trees that were required
(05:59):
as timber for the roof. They had been duly felled,
but no effort could drag them down from the neighboring mountain,
where they were lying uselessly on the ground. Take courage,
cried Gerard when he heard of this difficulty. The church
belongs to God, and God will see that it is finished.
(06:20):
Let us go to the mountain. On his arrival, the
saint knelt down to beg the blessing of heaven. Then,
attaching his handkerchief to one of the largest of the trees,
which was so heavy that neither oxen nor buffaloes had
been able to move it, he cried out, in the
(06:40):
name of the Most Holy Trinity, O Creature of God,
I order thee to follow me. Then, to the amazement
of all the spectators, he dragged it alone and without effort,
down to the valley. The rest of the trees were likewise,
without further obstacles, successfully brought to the church. Other marvels
(07:06):
followed fast. A poor mother was dying in pains of childbirth.
Saint Gerard's help was implored in her behalf. He prayed
for her and saved her life. This is the first
time that he is recorded to have assisted a woman
in such a necessity. But since his holy death, again
(07:28):
and again has his intercession been asked that some mother
might be preserved from imminent danger and her child be
safely brought to the cleansing waters of baptism. Numerous vote
of offerings around his shrine attest that his aid has
not been sought in vain. Some saints can help us
(07:49):
in one trouble, others in another, writes Saint Theresa in
a well known passage. This seems to be Saint Gerard's
special prerogative in heaven to help women about to become
mothers who are recommended to his kindly care, and to
bring them safely through their dreaded travail. A few days
(08:11):
after his arrival in Snarchia, when praying at the old
church of the place, he was suddenly raised from the ground,
as though by an invisible force, and remained for some
time suspended in mid air without support. The story was
carried into the village by those in the church, and
(08:32):
a number of people hastened to see him in this
miraculous state. Henceforward the whole parish venerated him as a saint.
This veneration greatly increased after his death, evidence was given
in the cause of his canonization that all the inhabitants
of Sinarchia had chosen Saint Gerard as their special patron,
(08:56):
and that it was the custom of every one in
the place to act at apater Ave and Gloria to
their ordinary morning prayers in order to thank the most
Holy Trinity for all the wonderful gifts and graces bestowed
on this great servant of God. From Sinurkia, Gerard wrote
(09:16):
the Archpriest of oliveto Don Angelo Salvatore by name, to
give him due notice of his intended visit. Your reverence
has long wished to make the acquaintance of the sinner
who is writing to you, and now your wishes will
be gratified. Thus did he finish his letter. These words
(09:39):
greatly astonished the priest. He had indeed long desired to
know one about whom he had heard so much, But
this he had never told to any living being. The
Saint's stay at oliveto was rendered noteworthy by many marvels.
Of these we can only mention. On the very day
(10:02):
of his arrival, as it was dinner time and Gerard
had not yet come down, his host went to look
for him to his amazement. He found his guest in
his room, rapped in ecstasy and raised from the ground.
He went away, and returning after some time, found the
(10:22):
Holy Brother still in the same supernatural condition. At last
Gerard appeared at dinner. He did not know that he
had been seen in ecstasy, and remarked politely that he
trusted his visit might give no trouble to anyone, but
that everything would go on just as usual, exactly as
(10:43):
if he were not staying in the house at all.
Don Salvatore afterwards marked on the wall of the room
the exact height to which he had seen the Servant
of God raised in the air. From Olivetto, Gerard resumed
him journey. At a place called Vietri, a woman of
(11:04):
abandoned life came up to him and asked him, as
a sort of joke, to give her a picture of
the blessed Virgin. Here is one. Was the reply, But
do you look to the affairs of your soul and
recommend yourself seriously to our lady, for you have but
a few days to live. His words came true. This woman,
(11:29):
young and well, when he spoke, was attacked with sudden illness.
On her return home. Mindful of the warning of a saint,
she at once sent for a priest, made her peace
with God, and died in excellent dispositions. Three days afterwards,
in the little town of Oletta, there was a young
(11:51):
girl who, from her infancy had been unable to walk
a single step. She had been obliged to lie on
her back all her life, a helpless invalid. When Saint
Gerard saw her, his heart was filled with pity. It
is nothing, he cried, The child can walk perfectly. Then
(12:14):
he called her to him, Come to me, my child.
That moment she leaped up. She was able to walk
as well as any one in the room. The bystanders
cried out in wonderment, a miracle, A miracle covered with
holy confusion. The servant of God ran away to hide himself.
(12:35):
He sought refuge in the house of the priest, who
has left posterity an account of the whole incident. The people, however,
pursued him, exclaiming the saint, where is the saint? Whereupon
Gerard made his escape in all haste by a back door,
and left the place without further delay. This cure was
(12:57):
radical in its effects. Several years afterwards, there was pointed
out to a Redemptorist lay brother passing through Oletta, the
girl who had been given the use of her limbs
by the famous brother Gerard in his humility, a fugitive
from the applause of men. Our saint next turned his
(13:18):
steps to the village of San Gregorio. Here he received
hospitality from the parish priest, to whom he was personally unknown.
But it was impossible for Saint Gerard's light to remain
for any length of time hidden under a bushel. The
day after his arrival, a visitor called at the house. Suddenly,
(13:41):
as they were engaged in conversation, Gerard turned abruptly to
the priest with the strange question. Reverend Father, He asked,
can you tell me this If anyone had made up
his mind to commit a great sin, and then afterwards
the grace of God, were to repent and relinquish his
(14:03):
criminal design, would that man, I would ask, be still
bound to tell his bad intention and confession, even though
he never put it into execution. The priest answered the
question according to ordinary theological principles, and was much surprised
at its apparently motiveless nature. However, a moment after his visitor,
(14:28):
in stupefaction, took him into another room and said, are
you aware, of father, that you have a saint at
present in your house. I am the man of whom
he spoke just now, At the instigation of Satan, I
was going to commit a certain sin, when suddenly remorse
seized me, and I checked myself at the very edge
(14:52):
of the abyss. I tell you this to my own
confusion and to the glory of your guest. Welcome to
the beginning of the end. A severe hemorrhage compelled Gerard
to stay his course at San Gregorio. He knew that
it was the herald of death. Already, at the commencement
(15:13):
of the year, he had said to doctor Santarelli, the
medical man, who, as we have already seen, was much
in his confidence. This year, I shall die of consumption.
How can you know that, asked the doctor. I have
begged the favor of our Lord, replied Gerard, and he
(15:33):
has granted it to me. But why do you mention
consumption rather than anything else? Because that complaint will leave
me most to myself, answered the saint. A short time before,
he had told a lay brother that he had asked
our Lord to allow him to die of consumption, with
(15:54):
no one near him at the end. This heroic prayer
was now about to be granted. The doctor at San
Gregorio did not think much of the attack and contented
himself with bleeding his victim. On August twenty second, Saint
Gerard seemed well enough to leave for the neighboring hamlet
(16:16):
of Puccino. That same evening, a new hemorrhage came on.
Two doctors were hastily called in and once more prescribed
the universal panacea of eighteenth century physicians for all the
ills that flesh is heir to. He was bled anew
and ordered to return without delay to Oliveto, where the
(16:40):
heir was thought to be better suited to his precarious
state of health. At Oliveto, he went to the hospitable
house of his friend, the archpriest Don Salvatore, and thence
wrote the following letter to his father, Rector. I wish
to inform your reverence that, while kneeling in the church
(17:02):
at San Gregorio, I began to spit blood. I told
a doctor what had occurred. After examining me, he said
several times that this hemorrhage came from the throat not
from the chest, and assured me that there was no
cause for anxiety. He then bled me and I seemed
(17:22):
to have quite recovered. However, last night appuccino, as I
was lying down, the same thing happened. As at San Gregorio.
Two doctors were summoned at once and prescribed a second bleeding.
They ordered me to return immediately to Olivato, partly on
account of the climate, and partly that I might consult
(17:44):
the celebrated physician Don Joseph Salvatore. He is not at
present at home, but his brother, the archpriest, assures me
that he will return this evening. I beg your reverence
to tell me what to do. Do you wish me
to return to Capiselle. If so, I will come back immediately.
(18:06):
Should you, however, desire me to continue the quest, I
will raise no difficulties. My chest really appears to me
to be in a better state than when I left home,
and my cough is no worse. Send me a strong
obedience and all will go well. I am very sorry
to disturb your reverence, but do not be alarmed, my
(18:29):
dear father. It is nothing recommend me to God that
he may cause me to do his Holy will in
all things. End of chapter seventeen,
