Propers for the Jesuit Martyrs of North America

Jeff Ostrowski · September 23, 2016

991 Jogues ONDAY in the Extraordinary Form is the feast of the EIGHT JESUIT MARTYRS OF NORTH AMERICA. 1 I humbly suggest that all who live in the USA consider going to Mass on their feast day and begging their intercession.

Consider a few words about St. Charles Garnier:

ATHER FRANCIS BRESSANI relates that Garnier thought nothing of walking thirty or forty miles on the hottest summer day to baptize some dying Indian, when the woods were infested with Iroquois. On such errands he would sometimes pass the night alone in the forest in the dead of winter, reclining on pine branches. The Relations depict him carrying sick people on his back—and he was not the strongest of men—for distances of up to six miles in order to gain the opportunity of baptizing them. Far from dreading an encounter with the Iroquois, “he often told us,” says Father Ragueneau, “that he would be quite content to fall into the hands of the Iroquois and remain their prisoner if, while they were torturing him, he at least had a chance of instructing them as long as his torments lasted.”

Many people know about St. Isaac Jogues—which is wonderful—but I feel they should also learn about his companions.

The Propers are not easy to find, because the Eight Jesuit Martyrs of North American Martyrs were canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1930. 2

NOTES FROM THIS ARTICLE:

1   This feast day in the Ordinary Form occurs on 19 October (in the USA) but in Canada it remains 26 September—just as in the Extraordinary Form. If God grants my prayer and restores my health, I would very much like to spend my life spreading information about these martyrs. You can get a fantastic overview by downloading this book (321 pages).

2   I believe they were beatified by Pope St. Pius X.

Quick Thoughts

    Introit • Candlemas (2 February)
    “Candlemas” • Our choir sang on February 2nd, and here's a live recording of the beautiful INTROIT: Suscépimus Deus. We had very little time to rehearse, but I think it has some very nice moments. I promise that by the 8th Sunday after Pentecost it will be perfect! (That Introit is repeated on the 8th Sunday after Pentecost.) We still need to improve, but we're definitely on the right track!
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Simplified Antiphons • “Candlemas”
    Anyone who desires simplified antiphons (“psalm tone versions”) for 2 February, the Feast of the Purification—which is also known as “Candlemas” or the Feast of the Presentation—may freely download them. The texts of the antiphons are quite beautiful. From “Lumen Ad Revelatiónem Géntium” you can hear a live excerpt (Mp3).

    Tempo?? • 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘞𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘺 𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘦
    Once, after Mass, my pastor said he really loved the hymn we did. I said: “Father, that's Holy God, We Praise Thy Name—you never heard it before?” He replied: “But the way you did it was terrific. For once, it didn't sound like a funeral dirge!” Last Sunday, our volunteer choir sang that hymn. I think the tempo was just about right … but what do you think?

Random Quote

“Many of those who have influenced the reform […] have no love, and no veneration of that which has been handed down to us. They begin by despising everything that is actually there.”

— Cardinal Antonelli (Peritus during the Second Vatican Council)
