Святой дня 23 марта: Святой Турибий Могроведжо.

By Криштиану Антонино On 23 Марта, 2023

Святой Турибий из истории Могровехо: вместе с Розой Лимской Турибий является первым известным святым Нового Света, служащим Господу в Перу, Южная Америка, в течение 26 лет.

Born in Spain and educated for the law, he became so brilliant a scholar that he was made professor of law at the University of Salamanca and eventually became chief judge of the Inquisition at Granada.

He succeeded too well.

But he was not sharp enough a lawyer to prevent a surprising sequence of events.

When the archdiocese of Lima in Peru required a new leader, Turibius was chosen to fill the post

He was the one person with the strength of character and holiness of spirit to heal the scandals that had infected that area.

He cited all the canons that forbade giving laymen ecclesiastical dignities, but he was overruled.

Turibius was ordained priest and bishop and sent to Peru, where he found colonialism at its worst

The Spanish conquerors were guilty of every sort of oppression of the native population.

Abuses among the clergy were flagrant, and he devoted his energies and suffering to this area first.

He began the long and arduous visitation of an immense archdiocese, studying the language, staying two or three days in each place, often with neither bed nor food.

Turibius confessed every morning to his chaplain, and celebrated Mass with intense fervor.

Among those to whom he gave the Sacrament of Confirmation was the future Saint Rose of Lima, and possibly the future Saint Martin de Porres.

After 1590, he had the help of another great missionary, Francis Solanus, now also a saint.

Though very poor his people were sensitive, dreading to accept public charity from others.

Turibius solved the problem by helping them anonymously.
