THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT TITUS BRANDSMA Feast Day: July 27
"He who wants to win the world for Christ must have the courage to come in conflict with it."
Titus was born Anno Sjoerd Brandsma, on February 23, 1881, in Oegeklooster, Friesland, Netherlands. He came from a Catholic family in the Netherlands that actively encouraged the children to serve the Lord. His parents, Titus and Tjitsje Postma, ran a small dairy farm. Three of Titus' sisters became nuns, and a brother became a Franciscan priest. From the age of 11, Brandsma pursued his secondary studies in the town of Megen, at a Franciscan run minor seminary for boys considering a priestly or religious vocation.
Titus entered the novitiate of the Carmelite friars in Boxmeer on September 17, 1898, where he took the name Titus in honor of his father. He professeed his first religious vows in October 1899. Titus was ordained a Carmelite priest in 1905, when he was 24 years old, and was knowledgeable in Carmelite mysticism and was awarded a doctorate of philosophy at Rome in 1909. From 1909 to 1923 he lived in Oss and worked as a writer and teacher.
Titus taught theology at the Catholic University of Nijmegen (now Radboud University) in the Netherlands for nearly 20 years. He was also a newspaper journalist, author, and popular speaker. He was greatly respected for his holiness and his gift for giving spiritual advice. Brandsma also worked as a journalist and was the ecclesiastical adviser to Catholic journalists by 1935, he also stayed at the friary of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Kinsale where he practiced English. That same year he traveled for a lecture tour of the United States and Canada, speaking at various institutions of his order.
After the invasion of the Netherlands by the Third Reich in May 1940, Titus saw the Nazi party in Germany as a growing threat, even in his country, where he lived. Titus warned the Catholic newspapers not to print the lies the Nazis were spreading about the Jewish people and other groups. He spoke out against the anti-Jewish laws the Nazis passed in Germany. The Nazis knew about Titus' actions. They called him that 'dangerous little friar.' When Catholic newspapers refused to print Nazi propaganda, the Nazis realized Titus was a true threat.
Titus was arrested on January 19th in the Boxmeer monastery, when the Nazis invaded the Netherlands. He was questioned by the Nazi secret police. They offered Titus a deal: they would allow him to live a quiet life in a monastery if he would announce that Catholic newspapers should publish Nazi teachings. Titus refused.
After being held prisoner in Scheveningen, Amersfoort, and Kleve, the Nazis sent Titus to the Dachau concentration camp in 1942, arriving there on June 19th. He was forced to do hard labor and was starved. He was beaten almost every day. He urged his fellow prisoners to pray for their guards. When he grew too weak to work, he was poisoned. At his death on July 26, 1942, he gave the doctor who administered the lethal injection his rosary. He was 61 years old as he received the crown and palm of martyrdom.
Beatified by St. John Paul II on November 3, 1985 and canonized a saint by Pope Francis on May 15, 2022, his major shrine can be found at the Titus Brandsma Memorial in Nijmegen. Titus participated in the international Esperanto movement, and is considered a patron saint by the International Union of Catholic Esperantists.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT GERMAINE COUSIN The Patron of Persons With Disabilities and Child Abuse Victims Feast Day: June 15
Germaine was born into poverty in 1579 in Pibrac, France. Her mother died while Germaine was an infant. A sickly child, Germaine suffered from scrofula, and her right hand was deformed. Her step-mother Hortense (other accounts identified her as Armande), mistreated her while her father ignored her.
She was forced to sleep in the stable under the stairs. Scraps were fed to her. Hortense would beat her up or pour boiling water on her for real or imagined misdeeds.
Life might have been harsh to Germaine, but she never lost faith in God. Prayer was her refuge. She grew in holiness that even the neighbors considered her a living saint. She never missed Mass. It was recorded that when she was about to cross a raging Courbet River on the way to Mass, the neighbors saw the water separate to make way for Germaine.
Beginning when she was nine years old, Germaine was also forced to work as a shepherdess. When the church bells rang for Mass, Germaine would stick her shepherd’s staff on the ground, pray to her guardian angel, leave the sheep, and proceed to the church. Her sheep were never harmed by the wolves from the nearby forest.
Already so poor, Germaine found ways to help others. She taught simple catechism to the kids and shared the little food and bread she had.
Once in winter, Hortense accused her of stealing bread and ran after her with a stick. When Hortense ordered Germaine to open her apron, flowers unknown to the region fell out. Witnesses Pierre Pailles and Jeanne Salaires gave sworn testimony about this miracle. Her parents and neighbors were awed by the obvious miracle, and began to treat Germaine as a holy person. Her parents invited her to rejoin the household, but Germaine chose to live as she had.
In 1601, she was found dead on her straw mattress under the stairs. Confirmed reports say that on the night of her death, two monks traveling from Toulouse were sleeping in the ruins of a nearby castle when they were awakened by angelic melodies. They saw a great beam of light from a distant house and extending into the sky. Heavenly figures were seen descending into the house and later ascending with another figure. Upon reaching Pibrac the next morning, they asked if anyone had died during the night and were told of Germaine's death.
When her body was accidentally exhumed in 1644, it was found to be incorrupt. Many miracles were attributed to her that a cause for canonization was in order.
Germaine was beatified by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1854. The same Pope canonized her in 1867.
