Blessed Bernard Francis de Hoyos, Priest (Optional Memorial)

Bernard Francis de Hoyos (1711-1735) was born in Torrelobatón, Spain. He entered the Jesuit Novitiate at Villagarcia in 1726 and, just three months later, had his first mystical experience. Then, in early May 1733, during his study of theology, he received his decisive mission from Christ: “I wish for you to spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart throughout all of Spain.†Days later he obtained the “Great Promiseâ€: “I will reign in Spain with more veneration than in other places.†Through his efforts, devotion to the Sacred Heart became popular throughout Spain. He is acclaimed as the first apostle of the Sacred Heart in Spain.

1547By his bull Copiosus in Misericordia Pope Paul III erects the College in Gandia as a University. It was founded by Francis Borgia and is the first College of the Society.
1572On the death of St. Pius V, Gregory XIII ascended the Papal throne and abolished the choir imposed on the Society by his predecessor, as well as other changes made in the Institute.
1694At Rome, the death of Father Paul Segneri the elder, preacher at the Vatican, celebrated for his eloquence, his missionary labors and apostolic spirit.
1773The Jesuits of White Russia requested the Empress Catherine to allow the Letter of Suppression to be published, as it had been all over Europe. "She bade them lay aside their scruples, promising to obtainthe Papal sanction for their remaining in status quo."
