São João Ogilvie foi um mártir jesuíta que nasceu em família calvinista, rica e muito respeitada. Em meio às controvérsias religiosas que haviam na Europa daquela época, decidiu tornar-se católico. Juntou-se a Companhia de Jesus, foi ordenado sacerdote em Paris, em 1610. Retornou à Escócia em 1613, disfarçado de vendedor de cavalos sob o nome de John Watson, para poder celebrar aos poucos católicos que existiam na área de Glasgow, onde era ilegal pregar e viver o catolicismo. Em 1614 foi traído e preso, condenado por alta traição por se recusar a aceitar a lei religiosa do rei. João testemunhou a verdade e a fé até o fim, mesmo passando por muitas torturas. Com 36 anos de idade, sua última sentença foi o enforcamento. Suas últimas palavras foram "Daria mais cem vidas, de boa vontade, se as tivesse". .

Saint John Ogilvie

1579 - 1615 Feast Day: March 10 Patron of Scotland

Saint John Ogilvie was a Scottish Roman Catholic Jesuit martyr, born into a wealthy respected Calvinist family in 1579. In the midst of the religious controversies and turmoil that engulfed Europe of that era he decided to become a Roman Catholic. He joined the Society of Jesus and was ordained a priest in Paris in 1610. After ordination he returned to Scotland in November 1613 disguised as a horse trader named John Watson, to minister to the few remaining Roman Catholics in the Glasgow area where it was illegal to preach or otherwise endorse Roman Catholicism. In 1614, he was betrayed and arrested in Glasgow, convicted of high treason for refusing to accept the King's spiritual jurisdiction, suffered terrible tortures and was hanged.

Happy Feast Day of St John Ogilvie - March 10 

John's mission was to convert the Scots and had some success in making converts and in secretly serving Scottish Catholics. But he was soon betrayed, arrested and brought before the court. His trial dragged on until he had been without food for 26 hours. He was imprisoned and deprived of sleep. For eight days and nights he was dragged around, prodded with sharp sticks, his hair pulled out. Still, he refused to reveal the names of Catholics or to acknowledge the jurisdiction of the king in spiritual affairs. He underwent a second and third trial but held firm. At his final trial, he assured his judges: "In all that concerns the king, I will be slavishly obedient; if any attack his temporal power, I will shed my last drop of blood for him. But in the things of spiritual jurisdiction which a king unjustly seizes I cannot and must not obey." Condemned to death as a traitor, he was faithful to the end, even when on the scaffold he was offered his freedom and a fine living if he would deny his faith. His courage in prison and in his martyrdom was reported throughout Scotland. John Ogilvie was canonized in 1976, becoming the first Scottish saint since 1250.

Saint of the Day - March 10 - St John Ogilvie SJ 1579-1615 Patron of the youth and Aids sufferers 

Born in 1579, John Ogilvie belonged to Scottish nobility. He was raised a Calvinist but impressed with the faith of the martyrs, he became a Catholic. In 1596, at age seventeen he was received into the Church. John eventually he sought admission into the Jesuits. He was ordained at Paris in 1610 and asked to be sent to Scotland, hoping some Catholic nobles there would aid him given his lineage. Finding none, he went to London, then back to Paris, and finally returned to Scotland. John's work was quite successful in bring back many people to the Faith. Some time later he was betrayed by one posing as a Catholic. After his arrest he was tortured in prison in an effort to get him to reveal the names of other Catholics, but he refused. After three trials, John was convicted of high treason because he converted Protestants to the Catholic Faith as well as denied the king's spiritual jurisdiction by upholding the Pope's spiritual primacy and condemning the oaths of supremacy and allegiance. Sentenced to death, the courageous priest was hanged at Glasgow in 1615 at the age of thirty-six.
