Miércoles, Junio 16-2021 Conoce a San Juan Francisco Regis Sacerdote #Misionero Jesuita

Alguien dijo de él "que no tenía más que a #Dios dentro de su alma, a Dios en la boca y a Dios delante de sus ojos". Poseía una gracia enorme para convertir las almas, aun las más alejadas. Se dice que una dama que era totalmente reacia a la #Iglesia y hasta enemiga declarada, al ver sus distinguidos modales y su gran santidad, le dijo: "Padre ¿cómo no me voy a convertir a la fe cristiana si usted me lo pide con tanta gracia?".

Wednesday, June 15-2021 Get To Know Saint John Francis Regis, Jesuit missionary (1597-1640)

The Curé of Ars, Saint John Francis was so inflamed with the love of God that he seemed to breathe, think, and speak of Him alone. He offered up the Holy Sacrifice with such attention and fervor that those who attended it could not but experience with him something of the fire consuming him.

Martes, Junio 15-2021 conoce a San Vito, Martir 

La leyenda es muy conocida: Vito, siciliano de nacimiento, a los siete años es ya un cristiano convencido y comienza a hacer muchos milagros. El gobernador Valeriano manda arrestarlo y trata de hacerlo apostatar con promesas de premios y con amenazas de castigo. Pero de nada sirven ni siquiera los apasionados llamados de su padre, que era un pagano terrible.

Tuesday, June 15-2021 Get to know Saint Vitus, Modestus, and Crescentia Martyrs

There all three would win the crown of martyrdom. Diocletian himself, hearing of the miracles of Saint Vitus, sent for him but then imprisoned him, after Vitus had delivered the emperor's son from a demon, but had refused to deny Jesus Christ. A furious lion would not harm the young Christian, but lay down at his feet and licked them. When he and his two Christian preceptors were attached to racks and tortured, their protecting Angel released them, but not until after lightning had struck the idol temples and caused them to fall, amidst a terrible storm. Many idolaters among the spectators were converted on this occasion.

The Lord has raised up a mighty savior for us, as he promised through the lips of his prophets. 

Saint Vitus is the patron saint of dancers, actors, young people, and dogs.
