SAINT OF THE DAY: Blessed Raymond of Capua
Born Raymond della Vigna about 1330 in Capua, he was a member of
a prominent family in that city. In 1350, while a student of law at
the University of Bologna, he entered the Dominican Order. For the
next twenty-five years he worked as a spiritual director or as a
teacher in various communities of the order. Raymond was first
assigned to Montepulciano, where he served as a chaplain to a
monastery of nuns of the Dominican Second Order. He was then
stationed in Rome, to serve as the prior of the friars at Santa
Maria sopra Minerva. Later he was sent to Sienna, where he was
assigned by the Master General to be the spiritual director and
confessor to the noted Dominican tertiary, Catherine of Sienna.
Raymond spent the next six years advising her and hearing her
confidences. While there, Raymond gradually learned to trust her
holiness and her judgment. This was sealed when he became involved
in nursing victims of the plague in 1374. When he contracted the
disease himself and lay near death, Catherine came and sat at his
bedside until he recovered. Knowing how close he was to death;
Raymond credited his recovery to Catherine’s prayers. By 1374
Raymond had come to the attention of Pope Gregory XI, then living
in Avignon, as a result of his connection to Catherine, and also
for his novel ways of confronting issues like the Crusades in the
Holy Land, the return of the papacy to Rome, and the general reform
or the church. For four years Raymond accompanied Catherine in her
journeys and went to Avignon to act as intermediary between her and
the pope. Pope Gregory would finally return to Rome in 1377, but he
died in 1378. The refusal of the French Cardinals to accept the
election of his successor, Pope Urban VI, led to the Great Western
Schism that lasted 39 years, with one pope in Rome and another in
Avignon. The schism divided Europe. Raymond, like Catherine,
supported the Roman papacy, and defended its legitimacy. In the
year 1380, Catherine dies, and Raymond was elected Master General
of the Dominican Order. He served in this position until his death
in 1399. Raymond worked for the return of the papacy to Rome and
for a solution to the Western Schism. Because of his passion for
the church and for the revival of religious life, he was beatified
on the 500th anniversary of his death by Pope Leo XII on May 15,
1899. Raymond’s feast day is October 5th.
