#Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto

[thepastisalreadywritten]

SAINT OF THE DAY (August 21)

Pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was the first Pope elected in the 20th century.

He came to the papal office in 1903 and died 11 years later in 1914, just as World War I was beginning.

He was born on 2 June 1835 at Riese, near Venice, and was one of eight children. His family was poor.

He felt a calling to be a priest at a young age and was ordained in 1858.

After 26 years, he was named bishop of Mantua, Italy. In 1893, he became patriarch of Venice.

As Pope, he issued decrees making the age of First Holy Communion earlier (at the age of 7) and advocated frequent and even daily reception of the Eucharist.

He promoted the reading of the Bible among laypeople, reformed the liturgy, promoted clear and simple homilies, and brought back Gregorian chant.

He revised the Breviary and reorganized the curia.

He also initiated the preparation of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the first comprehensive and systemic work of its kind.

In 1913, Pope Pius X suffered a heart attack and subsequently lived in the shadow of poor health.

In 1914, the pope fell ill on the Feast of the Assumption of Mary (15 August 1914).

It was an illness from which he would not recover. It was reported that he suffered from fever and lung complications.

He died on 20 August 1914 of natural causes, reportedly aggravated by worries over the beginning of World War I.

Pope Pius XII beatified him on 3 June 1951 and canonized on 29 May 1954.

Pope Pius X is the patron saint of First Communicants and pilgrims.

The Society of Saint Pius X, a traditionalist Catholic fraternity formed decades after his death, is named after him.

THE DESCRIPTION OF POPE SAINT PIUS X The Patron of First Communicants Feast Day: August 21

"My hope is in Christ, who strengthens the weakest by His divine help; I can do all in Him who strengthened me!"

Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, nicknamed 'Bepi' by his family, was born on June 2, 1835 in Riese, Italy, a farming village near Venice. He was the oldest of nine children. We know him today as Pope Saint Pius X. His father, Giovanni Battista Sarto, was a mailman and he died before Giuseppe was ordained a priest. His mother, Margarita, was a dressmaker and lived to see her son become the Cardinal of Venice. Two of his sisters became religious nuns and served under him in the Archdiocese of Venice.

Giuseppe was first in his grammar school class. When he was 11 years old, he told his father that he wanted to become a priest. His father, with the help of their local parish priest, sent Giuseppe to a well-known Catholic high school about six miles outside of town. Giuseppe graduated first in his high school class at the age of 15 and immediately entered the seminary in Padua.

He graduated from the seminary first in his class in 1858 and was ordained a priest, Don (Father) Sarto. He was assigned to Tombolo, a farming village, as an assistant pastor for nine years. Don Sarto flourished with the help of his pastor. He was devoted to the Eucharist, enjoyed preaching and loved young people.

His Masses were reverent, his sermons were carefully crafted and moving and, as the oldest boy from a large, poor family, he was able to relate to the poor youth in his parish. He began an after school program in Tombolo to help children learn more about their faith and develop their reading and writing skills. He also began a similar program in the evening for adults because his daytime program was so popular. Pius X is often credited with developing the foundations of modern catechism and adult education still held in parishes today.

Don Sarto was named pastor of Salzano at the age of 32 and he remained there for nine years until 1876. He was well known for helping poor farmers and cattle ranchers. He helped to fund schools and supported the local hospital when a cholera epidemic affected his parishioners. He rarely slept and so he earned the nickname, 'Perpetuun Mobile'—a machine in perpetual motion.

The Bishop of Treviso realized Don Sarto's talent and energy so he promoted him to Monsignor and other important positions including the spiritual director of the local seminary and chancellor of the Diocese of Treviso. Monsignor Sarto was known for his quick wit and humility and his love of people. He enjoyed teaching, preaching and administering.

Monsignor Sarto was elevated to Bishop of Mantua on November 10, 1884 despite his protestations over not wanting to leave the seminary. He asked the Vatican to reconsider his elevation but the Pope responded with one word, 'obey!'

As Bishop, he encouraged educated and energetic priests. Bishop Sarto adopted St. Thomas Aquinas' teaching methodologies and instituted the Gregorian Chant for Mass. Within six years, the troubled Diocese of Mantua was turned into a vibrant diocese with spirit-filled masses and enlightening preaching.

Pope Leo XIII elevated Giuseppe Sarto to Cardinal on June 12, 1893. Upon hearing the news of his appointment, Cardinal Sarto told a local newspaper that he was 'anxious, terrified and humiliated.' He immediately returned to his hometown of Riese to celebrate Mass for his elderly mother, family and friends. His mother passed away soon after he left for Venice. While Cardinal, Giuseppe continued to encourage education for priests and improved Catholic schools. He also raised money for the sick.

Pope Leo XIII died and Cardinal Sarto reluctantly accepted the position of Pope after a four-day conclave during which he won 55 out of 60 votes. He chose the name Pius because he said: 'As I shall suffer, I shall take the name of those Popes who also suffered.'

His coronation took place on August 9, 1903. During his papacy, Pope Pius was less formal and more approachable than his predecessors. He invited priests to dinner in the Vatican each evening and often snuck out of the Vatican through the garden passageways to visit the sick in local hospitals. He improved priestly formation, instituted improved liturgies and music and insisted on quality preaching from his priests and bishops. He modernized Canon law and introduced progressive scholarship through the biblical institute of Rome under the direction of the Jesuits.

Pope Pius X also lowered the age for young people to first receive the Eucharist and fought against 'modernism,' a theological teaching that he viewed as heresy and atheism. He preached forcefully against war and violence and had visions that a war would break out in 1914 killing many innocent people that turned out to accurately describe World War I. He did not live to see the long-term effects of the war but his prophecies live on. Pope Pius X supported immigrants from Europe who fled to North and South America. He created many new dioceses and appointed new bishops in the Americas.

In the last year of his life, he granted many private audiences with the poor and sick. Rumors of miraculous cures began to spread throughout Rome after people visited him. Two religious sisters who were cured through his prayers confirmed the healings after his death and endorsed his canonization to sainthood.

Pope Pius X died on August 20, 1914. The Italian press wrote, 'Saint is Dead.'

His tombstone is engraved with the words; "Pope Pius X, poor and yet rich, gentle and humble of heart, unconquerable champion of the Catholic Faith, whose constant endeavor it was to renew all things in Christ..."

Suedezul care a creat chimia modernă

Berzelius a descoperit elementele siliciu, seleniu, toriu şi ceriu.

  Berzelius a absolvit medicina la Universitatea Uppsala în 1802, devenind profesor, din 1807, în medicină şi chirurgie, la Şcoala de Chirurgie din Stockholm. În 1810 şcoala a devenit o parte a Institutului Medico-Kirurgiska, predecesor al Institutului Karolinska, şi Berzelius a fost numit profesor de chimie şi farmacie. La puţin timp de la sosirea la Stockholm, el a scris un manual de chimie pentru studenţii săi, acesta marcând începutul unei lungi şi fructuoase cariere în chimie.

În timp ce efectua experimente pentru manualul său, a descoperit legea proporţiilor constante, care arăta că substanţele anorganice sunt compuse din diferite elemente în proporţie constantă cu greutatea lor. Pe baza acestei observaţii, în 1828 a creat un tabel cu masele atomice relative (cu oxigenul având valoarea 100) ale tuturor elementelor cunoscute atunci. Aceasta a reprezentat o confirmare puternică a ipotezei atomice: că compuşii chimici anorganici sunt compuşi din atomi combinaţi în cantităţi reprezentate prin numere întregi. Descoperind că masele atomice nu sunt multipli întregi ai masei hidrogenului, Berzelius a invalidat astfel Ipoteza lui Prout, care susţinea că elementele sunt formate din atomi de hidrogen. În 1838, Berzelius a descoperit proteinele. Studenţi lucrând în laboratorul lui Berzelius au descoperit de asemenea litiul şi vanadiul.

Pentru a înţelege mai bine experimentele, el a creat un sistem de notaţii chimice în care elementelor le erau date denumiri simple, literale — precum O pentru oxigen, sau Fe pentru fier — şi proporţiile erau desemnate prin numere. Acest sistem este baza sistemului utilizat astăzi, cu mici modificări.

A fost ales membru al Academiei Regale de Ştiinţe a Suediei în 1808 şi a devenit membru al Academiei Suedeze în 1837.

Aug. 21: St. Pius X (1835-1914), Pope

Joseph Sarto (Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto) was born in humble circumstances at Riese, a small village in Venetia, on June 2, 1835. He was successively curate, parish priest, bishop of Mantua, Patriarch of Venice — offices to which his keen intelligence, hard work and great piety caused him to be quickly promoted. He was elected Pope on August 4, 1903, and took the name of Pius X. As chief pastor of the Church he displayed untiring self-sacrifice and great energy; he was an intrepid defender of the purity of Christian doctrine. He realized to the full the value of the liturgy as the prayer of the Church and the solid basis that it furnishes for the devotion of Christian people; he worked for the restoration of the worship of the Church, especially plainchant, so that Christian people, as he put it, might find beauty in their public prayer. He spared no effort to propagate the practice, so great an aid to holiness, of early, frequent and daily communion. He died August 20, 1914 and was canonized on May 29, 1954.

His humble background was no obstacle in relating to a personal God and to people whom he loved genuinely. He gained his strength, his gentleness and warmth for people from the source of all gifts, the Spirit of Jesus. In contrast, we often feel embarrassed by our backgrounds. Shame makes us prefer to remain aloof from people whom we perceive as superior. If we are in a superior position, on the other hand, we often ignore simpler people. Yet we, too, have to help “restore all things in Christ,” especially the wounded people of God.
