The Hagiography of Saint Liziers
The Blessed Liziers, Local Saint of Navarre, Pyrenees and Catalonia (VI century) - Blessed patron of colic healing, dysentery, diarrhoea and all sicknesses related to digestion and black bile.
I - Childhood
We know little about the parents of Liziers (in Latin Lyzierus) except that they were nicknamed as “the peacemakers”. They played the role of mediators between clans and families, to help them forget about the exigences of the vendetta. This example was forever engraved in Liziers's heart. Since the age of 16, he thought of following the religious life. At that time, the Church was well implanted and without any hesitation, he became a monk. He was recognized very quickly for his talents and he became a priest in Toulouse, being elected bishop of Tarbes very soon, which was back then named as Turba.
II – The apparition of the miraculous batting stick
On the way to visit his diocese, an incredible element - sign of his election by the Most High - occurred. Just a few dozen miles before arriving at Turba, a great storm suddenly erupted, larger than someone had ever seen in the region by any man alive. Scared of the thunder and lightning, he sought refuge in a cave. From this cave, however, came out a bear, forcing Liziers to flee, leaving all his belongings, seeking another place but in vain. After several hours under the storm, the latter ended, being Liziers in bad shape, but still alive. He tried to recover his belongings by returning to the cave, where, to his surprise, everything was still there, but his walking stick had disappeared. It had been replaced by a cane of golden colour, but evidently of wood. And this cane shone in the sun like a jewel, even though it was only made of pure wood..
III- The entry in the town of Defaecaturia, today Saint Liziers
Upon his entry, the demons ceased to act until a pagan, still numerous at that time, declared that if Liziers was not killed, they would certainty not get anything from their gods. The local magistrates had trouble letting an innocent person to be killed, but their pagan ignorance let the crowd to take action.
So they seized the saint whom the magistrates did not want to sacrifice, tying him to the feet of a bull whom was being pressed with goads, and hurled him from the top of the staircase of the Capitol. But, by a miracle, the saint, while was dragged by the bull, jumped directly on the back of this one, completely intact. He thundered then these words:
"Oh gentiles, you did not want the word of Jah, keep your putrid words of pagans!"
It was then that a strange rain began to fall on the Capitole's Square, as soon as the bull and Saint Liziers were far enough away, a rain so stinking and muddy that the city was taken by a generalised panic and this rain did not stop until covering all the houses up to one foot. The foul odour and the generated humour made all the inhabitants susceptible to diseases of the intestine.
It was then, after three days of this terrible rain, that Saint Liziers returned. All the inhabitants, after having put to death the wicked man who wanted them to execute Liziers, came to ask for forgiveness, seeking his teachings of the faith, and to heal them. Liziers indicated that the only way to be healed was to take a blow from his stick in the face, to wash them from their sins. Although reluctant to the idea of getting hit on, the inhabitants came quickly to take the blow in the face. It was more pleasant than the abominable dysenteries that were running in the village. With the village healed, Saint Liziers left again.
IV. The apostolate with the baton
Straddling his bull, Saint Liziers went to all the villages of the Pyrenees. To every pagan he encountered, he gave him a great blow of the stick, and the demons who possessed the pagan came out of his body, and every pagan became a faithful of the true Church.
Upon his arrival at Lleida, on Catalan soil, he saw that the city was inhabited only by pagans. Ceaselessly, for five days and five nights, he chased all the inhabitants with the stick, after which all the demons who possessed them, all the impure thoughts were gone, and the city became an example of the good word of Jah.
In the city of Tarbes, he had to deal with a naughty dwarf who was surely the incarnation of the Nameless Creature. By day, the latter preached the vice and the cult of the enemy of the human race. This dwarf changed shape every night and became a giant who killed a villager in the city and its surrounding areas every Friday. Saint Liziers, a Friday night, hidden in a bush, saw the ugly giant-dwarf arrive. To distract him, he threw in his face a defecation of his bull, who knew how to produce a manure of very good quality. However, to the great surprise of Liziers, the thrust burned the eyes of the giant villain, who fell to the ground. Armed with his stick, Saint Liziers began to hit the giant, who dissolved in the air with each stroke, an obvious demonstration of his demonic character, until the demon was gone.
V. His death
A week prior to his death, Saint Liziers retired to the village where he had begun his apostolate, Defaecaturia. Preachers had followed him in his approach and carried with him the good word: they had, in the city, built a small building to help people to spiritually recover. He retired to a room with a garden, where he installed his bull. The day before his death, he approached his bull and murmured something in his ears. The bull's horns suddenly fell and the bull went to the countryside at a speed worthy of a stallion. It was seen no more.
He gave his farewell to the other monks, and brought them into his room, each of them asking a question, to which he answered very admirably. And since they still wanted to ask him more questions, he said: “Be charitable and do not talk to me for I am busy”. Having said this, he joyfully passed away. They saw indeed his death as someone who greets his dearest friends.
VI. The relics
It is conserved in the church of Saint Liziers his body and the horns of his bull. As for the stick, it was given to a local Cardinal to Saint Thomas, who used it during his old days by accomplishing many miracles and rests with him in his tomb. The building became then on a Thomist abbey, Saint Liziers of the Pyrenees.
Written by Marc du Chateau, who gathered different authentic and coherent writings, with corrections of Father Louis-Apollon de Castelviray. It was translated to English by the Brother William Blazing. |
