Pope Francis on April 18 noted the beatification on the previous day of six Cistercian monks
suffered several defeats that forced its troops to retreat northward
a detachment of soldiers led by the French general François Macdonald plundered several abbeys
After having ransacked Monte Cassino and the village of Isola del Liri
burst into the Cistercian abbey of Casamari while the monks were preparing to pray Compline
and into May 13 left six monks viciously murdered
The monks tried to make the soldiers understand that there was not much to loot
The violence quickly spread to the Tabernacle
Many of the monks fled the Abbey and hid in the fields
They had stayed behind to save Jesus Christ
Our Lord had been safely in repose inside the Tabernacle
The men were slain “in odium fidei,” out of hatred of the faith
They had previously fled France because of the threat posed by the Revolution
When the soldiers disembarked on May 12-13
he became frightened and hid in the grotto in the garden to escape them
he finally returned to his cell to accompany his brothers
he finally died the next day in front of General Baron Thiébault
the religious told him about the carnage he had witnessed
A former religious of the abbey of Sept-Fons in Burgundy
Modeste-Marie Burgen was also forced to leave his monastery after the suppression of religious orders in France
was murdered in the corridor of the novitiate
Albert Maison received the monastic habit in Casamari in 1792 after having fled his country
he tried to transfer the hosts from the chapel to the infirmary and then joined two other brothers in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament
Maturin Pitré was involved against his will in the French military campaigns in Italy
He became seriously ill and was hospitalized with 11 of his fellow soldiers in the hospital of Veroli
he asked to return to Casamari in order to dedicate himself to God
All of these men were massacred by the band of soldiers
who were most likely spurred to commit their acts by too much wine
We ask the Martrys of Casamari to pray for us all
