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

It is on humble souls that God pours down His fullest light and grace. He teaches them what scholars cannot learn, and mysteries that the wisest cannot solve He can make plain to them.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2259

In the account of Abel's murder by his brother Cain, Scripture reveals the presence of anger and envy in man, consequences of original sin, from the beginning of human history. 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."
