JANUARY 23 | SAINT ILDEFONSUS OF TOLEDO

Spanish Catholics esteem St. Ildefonsus as one of their greatest saints, second only to Isidore of Seville. As archbishop of Toledo, he led the Spanish church from 658 to 667. Like Isidore, Ildefonsus contributed to the creation of the collaborative union of church and state that came to typify medieval Europe. For example, he presided over a council in 653 that granted secular leaders the right to participate in ecclesiastical decisions. But at the same time, bishops participated in the election of kings and joined with state officials in publishing secular laws and pardoning traitors. Thus the saint helped forge medieval political relationships well ahead of their time.

Veneration of the Virgin Mary runs deep in the Hispanic Catholic tradition. That stream of Marian devotion can trace its roots in part to Ildefonsus. He loved Mary and honored her in his landmark book, On the Perpetual Virginity of Holy Mary. Its themes inspired the Marian “breastplate” songs of Irish monks in Europe, and through many centuries copyists placed quotes from it in books of hours. Ildefonsus’s work may have influenced the long-standing practice of celebrating mass on Saturdays in honor of Mary.

El Greco and Velásquez have memorialized in paintings a story about Ildefonsus that became popular around the 12th century. Once when he was seated in his episcopal chair, Mary is reported to have appeared and presented him with a chasuble as a token of gratitude for his devotion. Ildefonsus died on January 23, 667.

ELEVATION OF THE DIOCESE OF MANILA AS AN ARCHDIOCESE
We remember today the 428th anniversary of the elevation of Manila as an Archdiocese. Pope Clement VIII issued a papal brief erecting Manila as an Archdiocese and its three suffragan dioceses, namely, the Dioceses of Nueva Segovia, Nueva Caceres, and Cebu. Let us pray and support our Local Churches as they take care of souls and establish firm and passionate servants for our Holy Church.
