He was born in the Basque country of Spain in 1506. He met Ignatius Loyola when he was a student in Paris, and he was ordained priest in 1537. In 1541 the Pope sent him as part of a mission to India, and he spent the rest of his life in the East, preaching the Gospel in Goa and Malacca. He made many converts and fought against the exploitation of the native population by the Europeans. He spent two years on a successful mission to Japan, laying the foundations of many Christian communities; and in 1552, after entering China secretly to preach the Gospel there, he died of fever and exhaustion on the Chinese island of Shangchwan.

Saint Catherine, by Bernardino Luini (16th century).
 
Legends coming from a number of sources say that St Catherine was very outspoken at the time of the persecutions of Christians. She even protested openly to the emperor Maxentius who had her arrested, tortured on the wheel and decapitated in 305. St Catherine’s courage is a great challenge to all African Christians in their struggle for justice and peace. The witness of her life and her readiness to die for the faith encourages us to be brave witnesses to the Lord and to speak out on behalf of all those who suffer.

The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925, during the sixteenth centenary of the Council of Nicaea. Celebrated on the final Sunday of the liturgical year, it underscores Christ's kingship as a defense against modern threats.

Pius XI emphasized the importance of recognizing Christ's kingship through annual celebration rather than scholarly texts. Every baptized person is anointed as a king, priest, and prophet, prompting reflection on our roles and responsibilities.

The feast calls us to consider how we serve others, inspired by Christ, who reigns triumphantly from the Cross and serves all creation.

St. Clement was Bishop of Rome after Peter, Linus and Cletus. He lived towards the end of the first century, but nothing is known for certain about his life. Clement’s letter to the Corinthian church has survived. It is the first known Patristic document, and exhorts them to peace and brotherly harmony.

St. Columbanus, born in Ireland before the mid-sixth century, became a learned monk. At 45, he left Ireland, founding three monasteries in present-day France with a strict Irish rule. King Thierry II of Burgundy admired him, but criticism of the king's lifestyle led to Columbanus's expulsion. After escaping, he reached Italy and founded the Bobbio monastery, dying there in 615.

His strict rule was later replaced by the Rule of St. Benedict. Columbanus's writings showcase early Irish Latin knowledge, with several excerpts still used in the Office of Readings today.

St. Cecilia by Antonio Franchi (c.1650)

Devotion to St. Cecilia, commemorated with a basilica in Rome, grew widely due to the Passion of Saint Cecilia. This text highlights her as a model Christian who embraced virginity and suffered martyrdom.

Little is known about her beyond her name and existence, with many stories obscuring the facts. Her sudden popularity in the sixth century and association with music remain mysteries, possibly stemming from a misinterpretation of the Passion text or her symbolic depiction.

"The Presentation of the Virgin Mary" by Titian (1534-38, Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice).
 
In unity with Eastern Christianity, and commemorating the dedication in 543 of the New Basilica of Saint Mary, built next to the Temple at Jerusalem, this feast celebrates Mary’s “dedication” of herself to God from her infancy, inspired by the Holy Spirit, whose grace had filled her ever since her immaculate conception.
