ST. CASILDA DE TOLEDO (Spain, 950?-1050)
She was the daughter of the Muslim king Al-Mamun of Toledo, at the height of Moorish dominance in Spain. She is one
of the earliest saints of whom a version of the following legend is told: Casilda used to bring bread to Christian
prisoners in secret; one day, caught by her father sneaking out, he challenged her to show what she was carrying in
her basket. She did - and there were roses instead of bread. Later she fell ill with what is now believed to have been
uterine cancer; she went to the healing waters at a shrine to St. Vincent the martyr in Burgos province, where she
was baptized. She stayed on in the area living a life of solitude and penance. and was said to have lived to age 100.
Readings for today's Mass

OR today.
No papal stories on Page 1, and for some reason the OR did not even post online the text of the Holy Father's
address yesterday to the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. Page 1 news: A UN food aid ship reaches
the Libyan port of Misurata, as Turkey proposes a peace plan; Japan's nightmare continues - the latest
earthquake aftershock was 7.6 on the Richter scale and killed 4, wounding more than a hundred, and little
progress is noted at the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant; the Ivory Coast port city of Abidjan may be
the scene of the final battle between President-elect Ouattara's forces and defiant ex-President Ngagbo, holed
up with a thousand mercenaries in a bunker; and an essay about a recent Hollywood movie, The Back-Up Plan,
that has to do with the use of donor sperm in an IVF procedure, claiming that Hollywood appears to be re-
examining the ethical questions connected with assisted reproduction.
AT THE VATICAN TODAY
The Holy Father met with
- Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops (weekly meeting)
- Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, emeritus Archbishop of Milan.
