Saint of the Day

St. Peregrine (1260-1345)
Once an anti-Catholic, Peregrine converted when he struck a Christian across the face, and his victim calmly turned the other cheek and prayed for him. He lived in silence and solitude. When he did speak, he was known as an excellent preacher and gentle confessor. Late in life, he was healed of cancer after a vision of Christ.

Reflections from the Saints

A servant is not pious if she is not industrious.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2233

Becoming a disciple of Jesus means accepting the invitation to belong to God's family, to live in conformity with His way of life: "For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother." Parents should welcome and respect with joy and thanksgiving the Lord's call to one of their children to follow him in virginity for the sake of the Kingdom in the consecrated life or in priestly ministry.
