Saint of the Day

St. Pascal Baylon (1540-1592)
Pascal was a shepherd before becoming a Franciscan lay-brother. He had a strong devotion to the Holy Eucharist, defending the Real Presence against the attacks of Calvinists. Despite his lack of education, many people, both rich and poor, sought his counsel.

Reflections from the Saints

Man has become the enemy of his fellow man. God declares the wickedness of this fratricide: "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand."
