Reflection: The Catechism Explained by Stories and Examples

by Fr. Francis Spirago

Sixteenth Lesson: On the Gifts & Fruits of the Holy Ghost

Question: What are the Beatitudes?
Answer: The Beatitudes are: — 3d. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

The Widow Of Naim: As Jesus with His disciples was entering the city of Naim, behold a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And seeing the poor heartbroken mourner, He was moved to pity, and He said to her: “Daughter, weep not.” Then turning to the corpse, He said: “Young man, I say to thee, arise.” And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and He gave him back to his mother.

4th. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice, for they shall be filled.

St. Elizabeth of Hungary A Mendicant: Ingratitude is the world’s recompense; but sooner or later merit will be rewarded by God. St. Elizabeth of Hungary was the daughter of one of the kings of Hungary, and the wife of the Landgrave of Thuringia. During a famine in Germany (1224-1225) she daily relieved nearly nine hundred persons; and in the vicinity of the Wartburg, where was her castle, she erected a large hospice. On the death of her husband, his brother Henry seized the crown, to the exclusion of the rightful heir, Elizabeth’s eldest son. Under the pretext that she squandered the revenues of the crown by her extensive almsgiving, Elizabeth was driven out of the castle, and even banished from the town, and dispossessed of all her property. The high-born lady now wandered as a beggar woman with her three children from door to door; she who had dispensed alms so liberally was everywhere rudely repulsed; not even in the hospice she had erected could she find a refuge. Only a poor shepherd’s family showed her kindness. But the princess rejoiced in this; she regarded this severe trial as a special favor from God, and praised His holy name for it. When the interment of her husband’s remains took place in Bamberg, the bishop of that place spoke so forcibly in her behalf that later on she was restated in her rightful position. She died in 1231; her body is deposited in the chapel of the Hospital in Magdeburg. Her history affords an instance of human ingratitude.
