SUMMARY:Blessed Raymond Lull
DESCRIPTION:Blessed Raymond Lull\nSaint of the Day for June 26\n(c. 1235 – June 28\, 1315)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODJun26.mp3\nBlessed Raymond Lull’s Story\nRaymond worked all his life to promote the missions and died a missionary to North Africa. \nRaymond was born at Palma on the island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean Sea. He earned a position in the king’s court there. One day a sermon inspired him to dedicate his life to working for the conversion of the Muslims in North Africa. He became a Secular Franciscan and founded a college where missionaries could learn the Arabic they would need in the missions. Retiring to solitude\, he spent nine years as a hermit. During that time he wrote on all branches of knowledge\, a work which earned him the title “Enlightened Doctor.” \nRaymond then made many trips through Europe to interest popes\, kings\, and princes in establishing special colleges to prepare future missionaries. He achieved his goal in 1311\, when the Council of Vienne ordered the creation of chairs of Hebrew\, Arabic\, and Chaldean at the universities of Bologna\, Oxford\, Paris\, and Salamanca. At the age of 79\, Raymond went to North Africa in 1314 to be a missionary himself. An angry crowd of Muslims stoned him in the city of Bougie. Genoese merchants took him back to Mallorca\, where he died. Raymond was beatified in 1514. \n\nReflection\nRaymond worked most of his life to help spread the gospel. Indifference on the part of some Christian leaders and opposition in North Africa did not turn him from his goal. Three hundred years later Raymond’s work began to have an influence in the Americas. When the Spanish began to spread the gospel in the New World\, they set up missionary colleges to aid the work. Saint Junípero Serra belonged to such a college. \n\nThe Liturgical Feast Day of Blessed Raymond Lull is June 30.\n\nAnother Saint of the Day for June 26 is Saint Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer.
