Faithful God, you forsake
no one who trusts in you and in your mercy hear the prayers of the devout.
Through the help of Blessed Magdalen may we receive what we cannot obtain of
ourselves. 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

Saints and
Saintly Dominicans – 14 October
Blessed Magdalene of Trino, Virgin, Tertiary, O.P.
Blessed Magdalene as a
true Tertiary observed even in childhood great modesty in dress, conversations
and looks. She received the gift of prophecy from heaven, and a participation
in Our Saviour’s Passion. But it is more to the purpose to look upon her as a
model in her zeal for the conversion of sinners, and in her care of the sick.
In procuring for these latter all the relief possible she, taught them also at
the same time to love their trials for the sake of God; a favor far more precious
than all her care for their well-being. She prayed much for Italy, then
overwhelmed with miseries, and seeing that God was about to strike her country,
she obtained that at least he would spare her native city. She knew the day of
her death three years before it took place, and prepared for it by redoubling
her fervor and praying up to the end for her Order and her country. She had
always been remarkable for her devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus, and it was
in a chapel under this title belonging to the Fathers, that she generally
followed the conventual Office. Before dying she wished to sing the hymn “Jesu
nostra redemptio” with those who were around her death-bed. She sent for the
Tertiaries to bid them farewell, recommending them to observe fidelity to the
Rule and practice chanty among themselves. Her last words were those of Jesus
upon the Cross: “In manus tuas Domine commendo spiritum meum.” (1503)
Prayer
My God, turn Thy wrath
from my country.
Practice
Examine how you observe
silence and modesty in your comportment, in church, either out of respect for
God or from the desire of giving edification.

Blessed Magdalen
dei Panattieri
One hears so much about the detachment necessary for
sanctity that it is refreshing to read about someone beatified who unblushingly
loved her family, her country, her friends, and all little children.
Magdalen Pannatieri was
born at Trino, near Vercelli, in 1443, of deeply religious parents. She was a
devout child, who made a vow of virginity while she was quite young. Before she
was twenty years old, she took her vows as a Dominican Tertiary, an exceptional
circumstance, showing that she was held in high esteem. The Tertiary chapter
was made up principally of widows and older woman who centered their apostolate
of active charities around the Dominican Church. Magdalen fitted into this work
with ease, and she brought to the chapter a spirit of penance that few of her
companions could match . The delightful part of it all was that her penances
never rendered her dreary; she was a cheerful, resourseful person to have
around. People drew as much good from her spirit of joy as from any other
feature of her spirtuality.
Magdalen had a special
fondness for little children, and what we now call baby-sitting, and used her
influence witht he children to bring their parents to a better way of life.
Childless women won her sympathy , and several times her prayers brought the
blessing of motherhood to such people. She taught catechism to children, and
gradually the older folk of her acquaintance began to sit in on her classes.
She was quite unaware that she had great powers of description and could make
the truths of religion clear to simple people. The Dominican fathers allowed
her to use a large room attached to the church for a class room, and the class
grew. Not only the parents of the children and the simple folk of the
neighborhood, but also a number of priest and religious were attending
regularly.
When the reform movement
started by Blessed Raymond of Capua got underway, Magdalen Parnatieri promoted
it in Trino. Though her influence, Blessed Sebastian Maggio was invited to
preach there, and he accomplished great good.
Magdalen was considered
the protectress of the city of Trino. Whatever disaster threatened it, the
citizens expected her to look out for their interests, and she usually did. In
her life there is no mention of a “dark night of the soul” or of grim
detachment from all things of earth. Her love of God kept her from attaching
herself to any illegitimate pleasures, but she thoroughly enjoyed the lawful
ones- she loved her family and her townspeople and was happy in their company.
Her favorite brother was a good-for-nothing- he was always in trouble. When his
conduct had gone beyond the patience of everyone but Magdalene, she threw
herself on her knees in front of her crucifix, and she stayed there until our
Lord assured her that He would take a hand with the black sheep: ” I cannot
refuse you anything,” He said.
The Dominican fathers
received her solitude when they were persecuted by a wealthy man of the town.
This person carried his hatred so far that he was finally excommunicated for
persecuting the Church. there was of course, a good deal of blood shed before
the affair was over, and one of the reprobate’s followers made the mistake of
hitting Magdalene and calling her names. Before the irate townspeople could
deal out justice to him, God did; the man died a violent death.
God revealed to Magdalen
the coming political troubles of Italy: the French invasion of the country. She
did not live to see this prophecy accomplished, but she persistently asked
God’s mercy for her people. During the violent quarrels and bloodshed of the
time, Trino was always spared, though the villages all around were in a
shambles. The townsfolk unhesitatingly gave credit to Magdalen.

Beata Maddalena
Panattieri Domenicana
Trino, Vercelli, 1443 -
1503
Da principio, le opere di
Maddalena Panattieri furono più che altro di misericordia. Ebbe una speciale
predilezione per i fanciulli nei quali, come il Savonarola, vedeva l'innocenza
e l'avvenire del mondo. Ma il successo maggiore lo ottenne, non tanto come
predicatrice, quanto come maestra di spiritualità. Ella catechizzava in una
piccola cappella e le sue modeste conferenze furono destinate, sul principio, a
un gruppo di donne, le quali riconoscevano nella Panattieri un'ottima
consigliera. A poco a poco, qualche uomo si uni alle donne, ed avvenne che gli
stessi sacerdoti dei luogo si sentirono attratti dalla parola ispirata della
terziaria domenicana. La Panattieri insisteva soprattutto sulla riforma dei
costumi, e spesso trattava il problema dell'usura, vivo e scottante in quel
tempo, in cui la moneta scarseggiava e i commerci si andavano fortemente
espandendo. Per merito della Panattieri, Trino divenne un centro di
predicazione. Il Priore generale dei Domenicani vi giunse da Milano, e da ogni
parte del Piemonte molti predicatori andavano - diciamo così - a prendere
l'imbeccata a Trino, dove, d'altra parte, la terziaria domenicana non si
insuperbiva ma, al contrario, dava prova di profonda umiltà. Ad un uomo che,
urtato dalle sue parole, la colpì con uno schiaffo, la Panattieri, cadendo in
ginocchio, disse evangelicamente: "Fratello, ecco l'altra guancia;
colpisci pure. Ti ringrazio per amore di Cristo". Come il Savonarola, ella
fu profetessa di sventure, e nelle sue prediche ripeteva il grido che
ritroviamo anche nei sermoni del domenicano di San Marco: "Guai
all'Italia! Vedo avvicinarsi il flagello".
Martirologio
Romano: A Trino nel Monferrato in Piemonte, beata Maddalena Panatieri,
vergine, suora della Penitenza di San Domenico.
Maddalena Panattieri fin dai primi anni apparve un’anima tutta piena di grazia. Adorna di rara bellezza, seppe sfuggire all’insidiosa rete della vanità in cui restano impigliate miseramente tante giovinette, e suo specchio fu solo il Crocifisso. Vestì giovanissima l’Abito del Terz’Ordine di San Domenico abbracciando con gran fervore tutte le austerità dell’Ordine. Portò sempre la ruvida camicia di lana, osservò con estremo rigore l’astinenza e i lunghi digiuni, e nelle veglie fu eroica. Fece suo il duplice spirito di contemplazione e di azione, divenendone espressione vivente. Contemplò con appassionato amore la Passione di Gesù, meritando di partecipare nell’anima e nel corpo a tutti i dolori del Salvatore. Si accese di zelo per la salvezza delle anime per le quali lavorò e pregò. Ebbe il dono della predicazione, e in una cappella accanto alla chiesa dei Domenicani di Trino, teneva calde esortazioni a cui non disdegnavano di assistere sacerdoti e religiosi, e perfino il Maestro dei Novizi vi conduceva i suoi giovani religiosi. Aveva un’arte tutta celeste per piegare gli animi al bene, e si deve alle sue opere se i Domenicani di Trino abbracciarono la stretta osservanza restaurata da Raimondo da Capua. Il Marchese di Monferrato ebbe per lei particolare venerazione e la chiamava la “sua mamma". Del resto fu la mamma di tutti, e da tutti fu amata. Predisse la sua morte, avvenuta il 13 ottobre 1503, e quando fu in agonia, con voce dolcissima, intonò l’Inno “Jesu nostra Redemptio” e “l’Ave Maris stella”. Papa Leone XII il 26 settembre 1827 ha confermato il culto. Il suo corpo, sepolto nella chiesa conventuale, fu subito oggetto di molta venerazione. Nascosto nel secolo XVII nel vicino oratorio di San Pietro Martire, fu rinvenuto nel 1964. Nel 1970, con l’autorizzazione della Santa Sede, fu solennemente ricollocato nella chiesa.
