Today, May 19th, is the Feast Day of Saint Peter Celestine (♱1296), founder of the Celestines, Pope and Confessor of the Church. In Dom Gaspar Lefebvre’s Saint Andrew Daily Missal, we read that “Among all the pastors to whom Jesus lovingly committed the care of His Church, St. Peter Celestine is the one who most particularly shows forth the virtue of humility, the foundation of all holiness according to St. Benedict, his father in God. Born in 1221, he retired into the desert when hardly adolescent, and his virtues soon drew disciples round him. Such was the origin of the Benedictine order known since under the name of Celestines, from the name which St. Peter took when he became Pope.”

The story of Saint Peter’s life—and his resignation from the highest office of both the Church and this world upon recognizing that he was unable to fulfill its duties—should inspire us to imitate him in his incredible humility. As we read in Dom Prosper Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, “Among the long list of sainted men who compose the venerable series of Roman Pontiffs, our Lord would have one in whose person was to be represented the virtue of humility; that honour was conferred on Peter Celestine. He was dragged from the quiet of his solitude, compelled to ascend the throne of St. Peter, and made to hold in his trembling hand the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The holy hermit, whose eyes had been ever fixed on his own weakness, had then to provide for the necessities of the whole Church. In his humility, he judged himself to be unequal to so heavy a responsibility. He resigned the tiara, and begged to be permitted to return to his dear hermitage.”

In Blessed Alfredo Ildefonso Cardinal Schuster’s The Sacramentary, the Blessed Cardinal praises today’s Saint for his remarkable humility, writing that “it is more prudent and more sure to serve the Lord in the simplicity of one’s own heart, than to desire eagerly important places of grave responsibility, for the bearing of which our weak shoulders are possibly not gifted nor prepared… It is certainly the sign of a humble spirit not to covet honours and appointments, while to renounce, as did St. Celestine, the position of supreme Pontiff at a moment when his great sanctity, the veneration of the people, and the gift of miracles, seemed much more to enhance its glory, is the proof of a soul which, habitually absorbed in the contemplation of God, has plumbed the very depth of its own nothingness. Not even all the glory of the world can succeed in inspiring pride in such a soul.”

The Collect for today’s Mass is as follows: “O God, who hast raised blessed Peter Celestine to the supreme Pontificate, and also taught him to prefer the virtue of humility, mercifully grant that following his example, we may despise the things of this world, and so merit to attain those rewards which Thou hast promised to the humble of heart.” Saint Peter Celestine, ora pro nobis!

Maybe if tiny spent more time reading than ogling at his wife’s instagram, he would’ve picked up this little zinger:

“While we are on the journey to reestablishing full communion among all Christians, we recognize that this unity can only be unity in faith,” he stated. “As Bishop of Rome, I consider one of my priorities to be that of seeking the reestablishment of full and visible communion among all those who profess the same faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”
- Pope Leo XIV in that same Homily

Still need prayers. Newborn is still in the NICU and everything so far has come back negative and her vitals are normal and healthy. Final round of tests will be done tomorrow and that will determine whether we need to stay or whether we can leave.

Pray for us please.
