Feast of St
John Ogilvie
 |
"Walter Ogilvie was a Scottish noble who
raised his son John in the state religion of Scotland,
Calvinism. John converted to Catholicism at age 17 at
Louvain, Belgium. Attended several Catholic
educational institutions. Joined the Jesuits soon
after in 1597, and ordained in Paris in 1610. Sent to
work in Rouen, France. He repeatedly requested
assignment to Scotland. "Send only those," wrote the
Earl of Angus to the Jesuit General, "who wish for
this mission and are strong enough to bear the heat of
the day, for they will be in exceeding danger."
Wholesale massacres of Catholics had taken place in
Scotland, but by this point the hunters concentrated
on priests those who attended Mass. The Jesuits were
determined to minister to the oppressed Catholic
laity. When captured, they were tortured for
information, then hanged, drawn, and quartered.
Ogilvie's request was granted, and he returned to
Scotland in November 1613. He worked as an underground
missionary in Edinburgh and Glasgow, dodging the
Queen's priest-hunters, disguised as a soldier named
Watson. After 11 months in the field, John was
betrayed by a phony Catholic, imprisoned,
interrogated, then tortured for the names of active
Catholics. He suffered, but gave them no information.
"Your threats cheer me; I mind them no more than the
cackling of geese." Asked if he feared to die he said,
"No more than you do to dine." After three trials, he
was convicted of treason for being loyal to the Pope,
and denying the king's supremacy in spiritual matters.
He is the Church's only officially recorded Scottish
martyr." (From the
Patron Saints Index, visit the site
for more information about St John Ogilvie.) |
