Profile
Born to the nobility, and
an only child.
His father died when
James was very small, his mother left
the family to become a Cistercian nun,
and James was raised by his grandmother. Tutored by
a Cistercian monk who
taught the boy to meditate. When he came of age, he became a Dominican at
Santa Maria Celeste in Venice, Italy.
On his way to the monastery he
gave away his money to the poor he
met on the way, keeping only enough to buy books; on
arrival, he found a lay-brother in
need of clothes; he gave the man the rest of his money, and entered
empty-handed. Dominican for
66 years, holding offices in several houses in and around Venice.
When word got out about his gift for spiritual direction,
he feared the notoriety, and tried to withdraw from public life, transferring
to the house in Forli, Italy,
a place noted for its poverty and
strict observance. Worked with the sick,
heard confessions by
the hour, and gave away everything that came to hand. Noted healer with
hundreds of miraculous cures attributed
to his intervention.

God of
endless ages, in your providence you gave your people Blessed James
to attain the mystery of salvation. By his life and prayers may
we come to know your Son and so experience his presence more fully in our
lives. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. – General Calendar of the Order of

Blessed James Salomonio (Salomone), C.O.P.
Memorial Day: June 5th
Profile
In a little chapel in
Forli, built as a tomb for honored dead, there are three Dominicans laid in
close proximity. One side is occupied by Blessed Marcolino of Forli. The center
position is held by Carino of Balsamo, the assassin of saint Peter Martyr,
whose long penance and popular holiness are now under consideration for his
possible beatification; the third place is that of Blessed James of Saomomio,
who was the spiritual director of Carino.
James was born in Venice,
in 1231, the only child of noble parents. His father died when he was very
small, and his mother became a Cistercian nun, leaving him to the care of his
grandmother. She did well by her orphaned grandson, and James became a good and
studious boy who responded eagerly to any spiritual suggestions. Under the
direction of a Cistercian monk, he learned to meditate, and on the monk's
counsel, James became a Dominican at the convent of Sts. John and Paul,
in Venice, as soon as he was old enough. He gave most of his money to the poor,
and arrived at the convent with just enough left to buy a few books. Seeing
that one of the lay brothers there was in need of clothing, he gave his small
sum to the lay brother and entered empty-handed.
James wore the Dominican
habit with dignity and piety, if not with any worldly distinction, for
sixty-six years. he was humble and good and obedient, and there was nothing
spectacular about his spirituality. He was well-known for his direction of
souls, but he fled even from the distinction this work brought him.
Even his retiring habits
did not protect him, for the people of Venice beat a path to his door. In self
-defense, he transferred to another house, that of Forli. This was a house of
strict observance and very poor. Nothing could suit him better. For the
remainder of his life he worked and prayed in Forli, going out to visit the
sick in the hospitals and spending long hours in the confessional. His charity
to the poor and the sick gave him the name " Father of the Poor." He
is represented in art surrounded by a horde of petitioners of this sort..
Born: 1231 at
Venice, Italy
Died: March 31,1314
of cancer at Forli, Italy; buried in the chapel at Forli
Beatified: He was
beatified in 1526 by Clement VII
Patronage: invoked
against cancer

JAMES SALOMONIUS, BL.
Dominican, known also as
James of Venice; b. Venice, Italy, 1231; d. there May 31, 1314. His parents
were Adam and Marchinina of the patrician Salomonius family. After his father's
death and his mother's profession as a Cistercian nun, he was reared by his
grandmother. At 17 he joined the dominicans in the priory of SS. John and Paul,
Venice, after distributing his patrimony to the poor. As his reputation for
holiness grew, people became importunate, and at 21 he was sent to Forlì, but
even there a grille had to be erected around his Mass-altar to restrain the
devout. Except for periods when he was subprior at Faënza, San Severino, and
Ravenna, he remained at Forlì until his death at 83 from a heart
attack while in choir. A recollected and prayerful religious of a happy
disposition, admired and respected by his brethren and by laymen alike, he
showed a solicitous care for the poor, which won for him the title of
"father of the poor." He inspired men by his words and is said to
have worked miracles. His cult, tacitly approved by john xxii, was formally
approved by clement vii, June 26, 1526; the observance of his feast was
extended to the whole Dominican Order by gregory xi, 1622.
Feast: May 31 or June 5.

Saintly Dominicans – 31 May
Blessed James Salomon, Confessor, O.P.
Blessed James was
instructed in piety and taught the ceremonies and chant by a Cistercian, and,
having heard that the Choral Office was held in high esteem among the Friars
Preachers, he came to ask for the habit in their convent at Venice. The martyr
ology read with faith, furnished him with many subjects for prayer, and not
content with celebrating the various feasts in the Choir, he also kept them
after a manner of his own in his cell. After Matins he used to hear the
confessions of the religious who came to him, especially some of the younger
Friars who were zealous for progress and eager to have his counsel. His gift of
contemplation was so high and so continual that he often repeated the words of
Saint Jerome: “Happy the tongue which can only speak of God.” But he carefully
hid under a veil of humility the celestial favors he received. The Rosary was
his favorite prayer; once during the cold of November, a beautiful rose grew up
in his path, which he carried to the Friars, to increase their fervor in
praising Mary, of whom it was a sweet and beautiful symbol. He foretold the day
of his death and even after having received the last Sacraments, he continued
to chant in the Choir with the others till his last breath. He died at the age
of 83, having spent sixty-six years in religion. (1314)
Prayer
O Blessed Mary, Mystic
Rose, leave in my heart at the end of this month the sweet odor of thy virtues.
Practice
Recite the glorious
mysteries of the Rosary before the altar of Mary.

Blessed James Salomoni
Friar and Priest
Blessed James Salomoni, patron of cancer patients, was born of noble parents in Venice in 1231. He first met the Dominicans in Castello, a city remembered for the heroic life of Blessed Margaret. In 1248, he entered the novitiate in Venice and had as a companion,
Nicolo Boccasini, the future Pope Blessed Benedict XIII. From Venice, James was
transferred to Forli and remained there until his death. He progressed in
intimate union with Christ by fastings, penances, works of mercy and exact
observance of the Constitutions of the Order.
His infused gift of
counsel drew many to his confessional and many were converted. A white dove was
often seen over his head in the confessional. He was a father to the poor in
whom he discerned the poor Christ. Even before entering the Order, he gave his
considerable inheritance to the poor. He was noted for his devotion to the
Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and praying the rosary. In Ravenna, when
he prayed the rosary outdoors in winter beautiful roses sprung up in his path.
Sick and dying invalids in the hospital of Forli eagerly welcomed the
tender-hearted man of God. In his latter years Blessed James endured a painful
cancer which he concealed.
A certain Elena afflicted
with cancer of the throat, knelt before the friar in the sacristy after Mass.
Blessed James prayed over her and touched her throat. She left the church
completely cured. A mother appealed to the holy friar: “My daughter Cristina is
suffering from a horrible cancer, if you wish you can cure her!” Upon returning
home she removed her daughter’s bandages and found no trace of cancer. James
died in Forli, May 31, 1314, at age eighty-three. His body lies in the
Dominican basilica of Saints John and Paul in Venice. More than 338 cures have
since been authenticated at the shrine. He was beatified in 1526.
Prayer
O God, who dost rejoice us on the annual festival of Blessed James, Thy
Confessor, mercifully grant that we may imitate the deeds of him whose feast we
celebrate. through Christ our Lord.

Beato Giacomo
(Salomoni) da Venezia Domenicano
Venezia, 1231 - Forlì, 31
maggio 1314
Morto suo padre, sua
madre si fece monaca, e lui a 17 anni, dopo aver distribuito ai poveri tutti i
beni della sua famiglia, entrò nel convento domenicano nella nativa Venezia.
Esercitò il suo ministero per 45 anni a Forlì, dove per la sua carità fu chiamato
'Padre dei poveri'. Si distinse anche per il suo amore verso i malati, e per
questo è invocato contro la malattia del cancro.
Martirologio
Romano: A Forlì, beato Giacomo Salomoni, sacerdote, che, adolescente,
morto il padre e entrata la madre tra le monache cistercensi, distribuì i suoi
beni ai poveri e, accolto nell’Ordine dei Predicatori, vi rifulse per
quarantacinque anni come amico dei poveri e uomo di pace, dotato di insigni
carismi.
Giacomo Salomoni, di nobilissima famiglia veneziana, rimase assai presto orfano di padre. La madre allora lo affidò alla virtuosissima nonna, decidendo di prendere il velo monacale in un monastero della città, detto delle Celesti. Il bimbo spesso visitava sua madre, e fatto giovinetto, sentì anche lui l’attrattiva per le cose nobili e sante. Così, distribuito ai poveri un cospicuo patrimonio, si fece, a diciassette anni, Frate Predicatore. Ricevute con vivissima gioia le bianche lane, sua ambizione fu di seguire le orme del grande Patriarca Domenico. Ebbe il culto della Regola, che per sessantasei anni osservò con inviolabile fedeltà. Anima contemplativa e assetata di silenzio, ottenne, nel 1269, di passare al Convento di Forlì, per vivervi sconosciuto e lontano dalla sua Patria. Non ebbe il dono dell’eloquenza, ma sua cattedra fu il confessionale, dove svolse un fruttuosissimo apostolato per il quale aveva ricevuto da Dio doni veramente straordinari. Leggeva nelle anime, e per ognuna di loro le sue parole erano balsamo e vita. Spesso, quando era in confessionale, si vedeva una colomba misteriosa posarsi sulla sua spalla. La sua preghiera era taumaturga e otteneva miracoli d’ogni genere. Nella tarda età sopportò una crudele piaga al petto, senza concedersi, né riposo, né dispense. Fu Priore in diversi Conventi, ma mori in quello di Forlì nel giorno e nell’ora da lui predetti, il 31 maggio 1314, portando in cielo intatta la stola battesimale. I suoi funerali furono un trionfo e Forlì lo proclamò suo Patrono. Il culto fu approvato per Forlì nel 1526 e per Venezia nel 1617. Papa Gregorio XV il 22 settembre 1621 ha concesso a tutto l’Ordine la Messa e l’ufficio propri. La splendida chiesa dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo di Venezia, testimone della sua donazione giovanile al Signore, dal 1939 ne conserva gelosamente il corpo.
