TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8120GIOVANNI DI DIO, COLUI CHE RIVOLUZIONO' L'ASSISTENZA AI MALATI di Antonio Tarallo Un folle della carità. Un amore, il suo, riflesso del grande Amore di Dio per l'umanità. Una mano aiuta un'altra mano, un cuore soffre per un altro cuore sofferente: è questa la sintesi estrema della biografia di san Giovanni di Dio, del quale oggi ricorre la memoria liturgica. La sua figura affascinerà persino Lope de Vega, il famoso drammaturgo spagnolo che scriverà un'opera in versi su di lui. Ma la follia di cui stiamo parlando denota caratteri, in senso buono, rivoluzionari. Qual è stata la "rivoluzione", la novità che san Giovanni di Dio ha portato nel mondo?Fondatore dell'Ordine ospedaliero che reca il suo nome, detto anche dei Fatebenefratelli, il santo spagnolo di origini portoghesi ci ha lasciato un nuovo modello di attenzione al malato e al bisognoso. Un modello nel quale ogni uomo è accolto e assistito con amore. Un termine, soprattutto, ha fatto la differenza rispetto ad altri sistemi di accoglienza - contemporanei a san Giovanni di Dio - degli ammalati: "totalità", matrice e motore di radicali novità nel sistema assistenziale dell'epoca.L'assistenza pastorale e sanitaria, per lui, partiva da Cristo, unica origine di salute e salvezza. E l'accompagnamento spirituale degli ammalati e dei bisognosi, dei loro familiari e dei collaboratori, era parte integrante della sua missione ospedaliera. Francisco de Castro, suo primo biografo, scrive che san Giovanni di Dio «si occupava tutto il giorno in diverse opere di carità, e la sera, quando tornava a casa, per quanto stanco fosse, non si ritirava mai senza aver prima visitato tutti gli infermi, uno per uno, e chiesto loro com'era andata la giornata, come stavano e di che cosa avevano bisogno, e con parole molto amorevoli li confortava spiritualmente e corporalmente». Duplice impegno, duplice visione: spiritualmente e corporalmente. Queste due parole dicono tutto della sua visione di assistenza medica.GUARDARE A OGNI SINGOLA PERSONAIn san Giovanni di Dio, "ospitalità" non voleva dire solamente accogliere gli ammalati, ma era guardare a ogni singola persona, con il proprio bisogno: un "sistema sanitario" (così lo definiremmo oggi) attento all'individualità del singolo. Lo stile che aveva san Giovanni di Dio nella gestione delle sue opere è possibile trovarlo descritto in tante testimonianze. Come ad esempio questa: «Comprò letti ed accolse i poveri e mise infermieri che potessero accudirli e un cappellano che li confessava e amministrava i sacramenti». I confratelli che lo aiutavano nell'opera assistenziale «curavano e davano loro tutto il necessario, come medici, medicinali e tutto il necessario» (in José Sánchez Martínez O.H., Kénôsis-diakonía en el itinerario espiritual de San Juan de Dios, Fundación Juan Ciudad, Madrid, 1995).Uomo soprattutto del fare, Giovanni non ci ha lasciato molti scritti se non una raccolta di sei lettere indirizzate a Luigi Battista, al nobile Gutierre Lasso e alla Duchessa di Sessa. Il santo era loro direttore spirituale. Tra confidenze personali e insegnamenti evangelici, in queste pagine dallo stile semplice e diretto, troviamo la sua visione di assistenza ai malati, moderna e pragmatica, senza mai però trascurare l'aspetto spirituale che per lui ricopriva il primo posto. Colpisce l'incipit, uguale per tutte le lettere: «Nel nome di nostro Signore Gesù Cristo e di nostra Signora la Vergine Maria sempre intatta; Dio prima di tutto e sopra tutte le cose del mondo». Dio, prima di tutto, e la Sua Santa Madre, la Vergine Maria: per il santo, tutto deve iniziare da questo pensiero.Altro punto in comune delle lettere, il poco tempo che san Giovanni di Dio può riservare alla scrittura di queste, perché totalmente assorbito nelle opere di carità: «Scrivo questa lettera in fretta per spedirla subito, e ho tanta premura che quasi non ho tempo di raccomandare la cosa a Dio; ed è necessario raccomandarla molto a nostro Signore Gesù Cristo e con più tempo di quanto io ne abbia». In una lettera indirizzata a Gutierre Lasso ci lascia una fotografia della sua prima casa d'accoglienza a Granada: «Essendo questa una casa per tutti, vi si ricevono indistintamente persone affette da ogni malattia e gente d'ogni tipo, sicché vi sono degli storpi, dei monchi, dei lebbrosi, dei muti, dei matti, dei paralitici, dei tignosi e altri molto vecchi e molti bambini; senza poi contare molti altri pellegrini e viandanti che vengono qui e ai quali si danno il fuoco, l'acqua, il sale e i recipienti per cucinare il cibo da mangiare. Per tutto questo non vi è rendita alcuna, ma Gesù Cristo provvede a tutto».FATEBENEFRATELLIStrumenti di questa Provvidenza furono molte volte proprio Lasso e la Duchessa di Sessa: il santo sa bene che per portare avanti l'opera di assistenza agli ammalati e ai bisognosi vi sono delle necessità materiali. In una lettera alla Duchessa di Sessa, ad esempio, troviamo scritto: «Gesù Cristo vi ricompensi in cielo dell'elemosina e della santa carità che sempre mi avete elargita». E ancora: «L'anello (scrive riguardo ad un anello donato dalla duchessa, ndr) è stato utilizzato così bene che, col denaro ricavato, ho vestito due poveri piagati e ho comprato anche una coperta».Tutto questo lavoro per il Signore e per i bisognosi non è andato sepolto con la morte del santo spagnolo († 8 marzo 1550), che tra l'altro non lasciò nessuna Regola scritta all'Ordine ospedaliero. Ma l'organizzazione era già chiara. Ne sono testimonianza queste righe del suo primo biografo, il già citato Francisco de Castro: «In questa casa di Granata ordinariamente vi sono da diciotto a venti fratelli. Alcuni di essi lavorano nelle infermerie assistendo i poveri, altri nei vari uffici della casa. Altri, invece, vanno a chiedere elemosina per la città, ripartita in parrocchie, chiedendo ciascuno nella propria. Altri vanno fuori per le campagne e i paesi a chiedere grano, orzo, formaggio, olio, uva passa, e le altre cose necessarie alla vita».Si presenta, dunque, nuovamente agli occhi di noi contemporanei un fatto preciso: l'eredità della moderna concezione ospedaliera di san Giovanni di Dio è nell'aver formato, con il suo esempio, i suoi confratelli. Un'eredità che ancora oggi perdura grazie alla presenza dei religiosi dell'Ordine e a quella degli operatori sanitari appartenenti alle strutture ospedaliere dei Fatebenefratelli che, con amore e dedizione, prestano la loro opera nel mondo.Nota di BastaBugie: Ermes Dovico nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "La carità di san Giovanni di Dio verso le prostitute" ricorda che l'8 marzo è la festa del fondatore dei Fatebenefratelli. Oltre a prendersi cura di poveri e malati, liberò molte prostitute dagli sfruttatori, puntando al loro recupero integrale e quindi alla loro salvezza eterna.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana l' 8 marzo 2025:Il fondatore dei Fatebenefratelli, san Giovanni di Dio (1495 - 8 marzo 1550), è conosciuto soprattutto come patrono dei malati, degli ospedali e degli infermieri. Patronati evidentemente di estrema importanza, che condivide con un altro grande santo: l'italiano Camillo de Lellis (25 maggio 1550 - 14 luglio 1614), fondatore dei Ministri degli Infermi (comunemente detti Camilliani), nato appena due mesi e mezzo dopo la morte di Giovanni, come in una singolare e provvidenziale "successione" nella Chiesa universale.Non si dirà mai abbastanza della carità che san Giovanni di Dio (come anche san Camillo) esercitò verso i malati: non solo la Chiesa ma il mondo intero ha bisogno che si diffonda la conoscenza del suo esempio, tanto più in un'epoca come la nostra in cui si sta propagando una mentalità utilitaristica che dimentica che il malato è una persona umana, unione di corpo e anima. Da trattare e amare come faceva il nostro santo: come se avesse davanti Gesù in persona.Ma qui vogliamo soffermarci su un altro aspetto importante, eppure poco conosciuto, della vita di san Giovanni di Dio: la sua carità verso le prostitute. Molte furono coloro che il santo strappò dalle mani del demonio, conducendole a quelle del Signore. Basti leggere quanto riferisce il suo primo biografo, Francisco de Castro, sacerdote e rettore dell'Ospedale di Granada, che scrisse la vita del santo a una trentina d'anni dalla sua morte.Per amore di Gesù e della Passione che ha sofferto per noi, Giovanni - a un certo punto del suo apostolato a Granada - prese l'abitudine di andare, ogni venerdì, nei postriboli della città, con il fine di aiutare qualche prostituta a salvarsi l'anima. Abitualmente, appena entrato nel bordello, si rivolgeva alla donna che gli sembrava più lontana da Dio e le chiedeva solo di ascoltarlo, promettendole che le avrebbe dato anche più degli altri clienti. Quindi, riferisce il Castro, «la faceva sedere ed egli si inginocchiava per terra dinanzi a un piccolo crocifisso che portava con sé a tale scopo; ed ivi cominciava ad accusarsi dei propri peccati e, piangendo amaramente, ne chiedeva perdono a nostro Signore, con tanto affetto, che anche in essa suscitava contrizione e dolore delle sue colpe. E così, con questo accorgimento, attirava la sua attenzione ad ascoltarlo e cominciava a narrare la passione di nostro Signore Gesù Cristo, con tanta devozione, che la commuoveva fino a farle versare lacrime».

I Am Changed (Identity Series)Romans 3:23-24 “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.”We have all done things in the past that we are not proud of, and sometimes, we get stuck thinking about those things. We replay them over and over again in our minds and think about how different our lives would be if we had not done them. Some of us think that the things we did were so bad that there is no way God could ever forgive us or love us. Regret is a terrible thing. It sucks the life out of the present moment if you let it. Our minds are powerful, and we will believe what they tell us. We may know in our hearts that God will always forgive us if we truly repent. We know in our hearts that God will always love us no matter what we do and that we do not have to earn his love. However, sometimes, that little voice inside of us will listen to the enemy, and our brain will believe the lies that he tells us. Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The evil one likes to take this phrase and use it to whisper things in our ears like, “See, no one is good enough,” or “No matter what you do, you will always fall short of God's standards.” He tells us that we shouldn't even bother because we are not enough. Do you ever feel that way, like you are not enough? What many of us may not know is what the very next verse, Romans 3:24, says, “Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.” Yes, we all sin, but God's grace “makes us right in his sight.” Another way the enemy likes to get to us is to tell us that we will never change. That we are still the same person who did that thing we regret. If we strive to change, he tells us that we can't change. He reminds us of the things we have done in the past and whispers that we will do it again. There is a song I heard for the first time on the Big Life Devotional, and it is “Slave to Nothing” by Zach Williams. In this song he says:You can tell me what I did
You can show me who I was before
Where I fell short
Hang it over my head
But I'm not the same anymore
One thing's for sure
The shackles have fallen
So I'm showing shame to the door
Make no mistake
I'm a slave, to nothingIf you get a chance to listen to this song, I highly recommend it. click hereJust because you have acted a certain way in the past does not mean that you have to act that way forever. You can decide to repent and change your ways at any point in time, and God will be there to forgive you and welcome you in with open arms. Think about the many saints that have had beginnings that were not so great. One of the most illustrious saints, I think, is St. Augustine of Hippo. He was a man who was known for having not one but two mistresses. He ran around for years before having a change of heart and settling down at 31. St. Augustine went on to become a Doctor of the Church. Then there is also Saint Mary of Egypt, who ran away from home at 12 and spent a dozen years living on the street as a seductress. According to Craughwell in an article in Live Science, “Nothing made her happier than corrupting innocent young Christian men.” Saint Mary went to Jerusalem looking for young Christian boys to seduce. At the doors to the church, she felt a strange force repulsing her, and she immediately changed her ways. There was also Saint Camillus de Lellis, a priest from Italy that founded one of the first healthcare organizations for the needy. He started out as a cardsharp, con man, and mercenary. There are also lots of modern-day examples of people who had a rough start. Jennifer Aniston, who is one of the most famous actors because of her role in the sitcom Friends, had 4 failed sitcoms in a row before she landed the role on Friends. Tim Allen, who starred in Home Improvement, is now starring in Last Man Standing and was also the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story Movies. In 1979, he was caught with many illegal substances and went to jail for over 2 years. Then he got his life together and became the actor we know and love today. Oprah Winfrey grew up in poverty and did not have the best childhood. She was molested during her childhood and early teens and became pregnant at 14; her son was born too early and died in infancy. Can you imagine the things the enemy was trying to tell her? What was he trying to tell all of these people? What if these people would have believed the lies that they could not become anything different? If they believed that the version of themselves that was not enough or prone to sinning was all they could ever be? What if they stopped reaching for more because they believed they could never achieve more? What lies do you believe? How much more could you accomplish or become if you stopped believing the lies? You may have made mistakes in the past. You may wish that you could change certain things. Do not let those things hold you back from being who you are today. Do not believe the lies that you are not enough, lazy, selfish, greedy, etc. Just because you may have been those things in the past does not mean that you have to be those things in the future. You can be whoever you want to be because God has redeemed you with his grace!~ The blog this week was inspired by The Big Life Devotional by Pamela Crim.

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 392The Saint of the day is Saint Camillus de LellisSaint Camillus de Lellis’ Story Humanly speaking, Camillus was not a likely candidate for sainthood. His mother died when he was a child, his father neglected him, and he grew up with an excessive love for gambling. At 17, he was afflicted with a disease of his leg that remained with him for life. In Rome he entered the San Giacomo Hospital for Incurables as both patient and servant, but was dismissed for quarrelsomeness after nine months. He served in the Venetian army for three years. Then in the winter of 1574, when he was 24, Camillus gambled away everything he had—savings, weapons, literally down to his shirt. He accepted work at the Capuchin friary at Manfredonia, and was one day so moved by a sermon of the superior that he began a conversion that changed his life. He entered the Capuchin novitiate, but was dismissed because of the apparently incurable sore on his leg. After another stint of service at San Giacomo, he came back to the Capuchins, only to be dismissed again, for the same reason. Again, back at San Giacomo, his dedication was rewarded by his being made superintendent. Camillus devoted the rest of his life to the care of the sick. Along with Saint John of God he has been named patron of hospitals, nurses, and the sick. With the advice of his friend Saint Philip Neri, he studied for the priesthood and was ordained at the age of 34. Contrary to the advice of his friend, Camillus left San Giacomo and founded a congregation of his own. As superior, he devoted much of his own time to the care of the sick. Charity was his first concern, but the physical aspects of the hospital also received his diligent attention. Camillus insisted on cleanliness and the technical competence of those who served the sick. The members of his community bound themselves to serve prisoners and persons infected by the plague as well as those dying in private homes. Some of his men were with troops fighting in Hungary and Croatia in 1595, forming the first recorded military field ambulance. In Naples, he and his men went onto the galleys that had plague and were not allowed to land. He discovered that there were people being buried alive, and ordered his brothers to continue the prayers for the dying 15 minutes after apparent death. Camillus himself suffered the disease of his leg through his life. In his last illness, he left his own bed to see if other patients in the hospital needed help. Reflection Saints are created by God. Parents must indeed nurture the faith in their children; husbands and wives must cooperate to deepen their baptismal grace; friends must support each other. But all human effort is only the dispensing of divine power. We must all try as if everything depended on us. But only the power of God can fulfill the plan of God—to make us like himself.

12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.Hoc est praeceptum meum, ut diligatis invicem, sicut dilexi vos.  13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.Majorem hac dilectionem nemo habet, ut animam suam ponat qui pro amicis suis.  14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.Vos amici mei estis, si feceritis quae ego praecipio vobis.  15 I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.Jam non dicam vos servos : quia servus nescit quid faciat dominus ejus. Vos autem dixi amicos : quia omnia quaecumque audivi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis.  16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.Non vos me elegistis, sed ego elegi vos, et posui vos ut eatis, et fructum afferatis, et fructus vester maneat : ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, det vobis.

Oggi, insieme a Giulia De Lellis, facciamo un viaggio nel passato, nel presente e in poco (pochissimo) futuro perché, a detta sua, “preferisce non sapere". Con la sincerità che da sempre la contraddistingue, ci racconta cosa direbbe alla sé bambina, cosa pensa dell'autoerotismo, quali scelte ha fatto nel suo percorso di vita e lavorativo e quali (se costretta) farebbe oggi. Tra confessioni piccanti, scelte di vita e una spolverata di figuracce, scopriamo un lato di lei che spesso rimane nascosto: la simpatia. Distribuito da Warner Music Italy

“Il mondo è pieno di uomini interessanti” così Giulia De Lellis si confessa con Giulia Salemi. La sua unica dipendenza è il lavoro e la dedizione al suo Brand. Non ha ancora trovato un uomo che le abbia fatto mettere in secondo piano l'impegno professionale, ma lo sta cercando... Non c'è riuscito Andrea Damante, con il quale conserva ottimi rapporti, non c'è riuscito Carlo Beretta in quattro anni. Una chiacchierata sincera in cui la De Lellis si racconta con la schiettezza che l'ha resa una delle donne più influenti del web. Distribuito da Warner Music Italy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Piedosíssimo São Camilo que chamado por Deus para ser o amigo dos pobres enfermos, consagrastes a vida inteira a assistí-los e confortá-los, contemplai do Céu os que vos invocam confiados no vosso auxílio. Doenças da alma e do corpo fazem de nossa pobre existência um acúmulo de misérias que tornam triste e doloroso este exílio terreno. Aliviai-nos em nossas enfermidades, obtende-nos a santa resignação às disposições divinas, e na hora inevitável da morte confortai o nosso coração com as esperanças imortais da beatífica eternidade. Assim seja. São Camilo de Léllis, rogai por nós. Fonte: Site Pocket Terço

Do you ever feel that way, like you are not enough? What many of us may not know is what the very next verse, Romans 3:24, says, “Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.” Yes, we all sin, but God's grace “makes us right in his sight.” Another way the enemy likes to get to us is to tell us that we will never change. That we are still the same person who did that thing we regret. If we strive to change, he tells us that we can't change. He reminds us of the things we have done in the past and whispers that we will do it again. There is a song I heard for the first time on the Big Life Devotional, and it is “Slave to Nothing” by Zach Williams. In this song he says:You can tell me what I did
You can show me who I was before
Where I fell short
Hang it over my head
But I'm not the same anymore
One thing's for sure
The shackles have fallen
So I'm showing shame to the door
Make no mistake
I'm a slave, to nothingIf you get a chance to listen to this song, I highly recommend it. click hereJust because you have acted a certain way in the past does not mean that you have to act that way forever. You can decide to repent and change your ways at any point in time, and God will be there to forgive you and welcome you in with open arms. Think about the many saints that have had beginnings that were not so great. One of the most illustrious saints, I think, is St. Augustine of Hippo. He was a man who was known for having not one but two mistresses. He ran around for years before having a change of heart and settling down at 31. St. Augustine went on to become a Doctor of the Church. Then there is also Saint Mary of Egypt, who ran away from home at 12 and spent a dozen years living on the street as a seductress. According to Craughwell in an article in Live Science, “Nothing made her happier than corrupting innocent young Christian men.” Saint Mary went to Jerusalem looking for young Christian boys to seduce. At the doors to the church, she felt a strange force repulsing her, and she immediately changed her ways. There was also Saint Camillus de Lellis, a priest from Italy that founded one of the first healthcare organizations for the needy. He started out as a cardsharp, con man, and mercenary. There are also lots of modern-day examples of people who had a rough start. Jennifer Aniston, who is one of the most famous actors because of her role in the sitcom Friends, had 4 failed sitcoms in a row before she landed the role on Friends. Tim Allen, who starred in Home Improvement, is now starring in Last Man Standing and was also the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story Movies. In 1979, he was caught with many illegal substances and went to jail for over 2 years. Then he got his life together and became the actor we know and love today. Oprah Winfrey grew up in poverty and did not have the best childhood. She was molested during her childhood and early teens and became pregnant at 14; her son was born too early and died in infancy. Can you imagine the things the enemy was trying to tell her? What was he trying to tell all of these people? What if these people would have believed the lies that they could not become anything different? If they believed that the version of themselves that was not enough or prone to sinning was all they could ever be? What if they stopped reaching for more because they believed they could never achieve more? What lies do you believe? How much more could you accomplish or become if you stopped believing the lies? You may have made mistakes in the past. You may wish that you could change certain things. Do not let those things hold you back from being who you are today. Do not believe the lies that you are not enough, lazy, selfish, greedy, etc. Just because you may have been those things in the past does not mean that you have to be those things in the future. You can be whoever you want to be because God has redeemed you with his grace!This episode was inspired by The Big Life Devotional by Pamela Crim.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mt 11:20-24 - Jesus began to reproach the towns where most of His mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum: Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld. For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you." Memorial of Saint Camillus de Lellis, Priest Saint Camillus, pray for us!

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 390The Saint of the day is Saint Camillus de LellisSaint Camillus de Lellis’ Story Humanly speaking, Camillus was not a likely candidate for sainthood. His mother died when he was a child, his father neglected him, and he grew up with an excessive love for gambling. At 17, he was afflicted with a disease of his leg that remained with him for life. In Rome he entered the San Giacomo Hospital for Incurables as both patient and servant, but was dismissed for quarrelsomeness after nine months. He served in the Venetian army for three years. Then in the winter of 1574, when he was 24, Camillus gambled away everything he had—savings, weapons, literally down to his shirt. He accepted work at the Capuchin friary at Manfredonia, and was one day so moved by a sermon of the superior that he began a conversion that changed his life. He entered the Capuchin novitiate, but was dismissed because of the apparently incurable sore on his leg. After another stint of service at San Giacomo, he came back to the Capuchins, only to be dismissed again, for the same reason. Again, back at San Giacomo, his dedication was rewarded by his being made superintendent. Camillus devoted the rest of his life to the care of the sick. Along with Saint John of God he has been named patron of hospitals, nurses, and the sick. With the advice of his friend Saint Philip Neri, he studied for the priesthood and was ordained at the age of 34. Contrary to the advice of his friend, Camillus left San Giacomo and founded a congregation of his own. As superior, he devoted much of his own time to the care of the sick. Charity was his first concern, but the physical aspects of the hospital also received his diligent attention. Camillus insisted on cleanliness and the technical competence of those who served the sick. The members of his community bound themselves to serve prisoners and persons infected by the plague as well as those dying in private homes. Some of his men were with troops fighting in Hungary and Croatia in 1595, forming the first recorded military field ambulance. In Naples, he and his men went onto the galleys that had plague and were not allowed to land. He discovered that there were people being buried alive, and ordered his brothers to continue the prayers for the dying 15 minutes after apparent death. Camillus himself suffered the disease of his leg through his life. In his last illness, he left his own bed to see if other patients in the hospital needed help. Reflection Saints are created by God. Parents must indeed nurture the faith in their children; husbands and wives must cooperate to deepen their baptismal grace; friends must support each other. But all human effort is only the dispensing of divine power. We must all try as if everything depended on us. But only the power of God can fulfill the plan of God—to make us like himself.

This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.Hoc est praeceptum meum, ut diligatis invicem, sicut dilexi vos.  13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.Majorem hac dilectionem nemo habet, ut animam suam ponat qui pro amicis suis.  14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.Vos amici mei estis, si feceritis quae ego praecipio vobis.  15 I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.Jam non dicam vos servos : quia servus nescit quid faciat dominus ejus. Vos autem dixi amicos : quia omnia quaecumque audivi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis.  16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.Non vos me elegistis, sed ego elegi vos, et posui vos ut eatis, et fructum afferatis, et fructus vester maneat : ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, det vobis.

July 18: Saint Camillus de Lellis, Priest1550–1614In the U.S.A. this Optional Memorial is transferred to July 18Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: WhitePatron Saint of hospitals, nurses, and the sickA one-man Red Cross who burned with love for the sickLike so many saints, Camillus de Lellis ran hard in whatever direction he was heading. When he was a soldier, he ran hard toward the noise of battle. When he was a gambler, he ran hard toward the betting tables. When he was a sinner, he ran hard toward his taste of the day. And when he had a conversion, he ran hard toward the tabernacle. And there, finally, he stopped running. Once he found God, he stayed with Him. Today's saint spent long hours with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Silent contemplation fueled his soul, and he motored through each day with a high-octane love for the sick and the dying, which attracted numerous followers, led to the founding of a religious order, and eventually made Camillus a saint.As a physically large teenager, Camillus became a soldier, alongside his soldier father, to fight the Turks. In the army he learned to gamble, an addiction that matured with him and which ultimately reduced him to abject poverty. At a low point in his life, he volunteered to work at a Franciscan monastery that was under construction and became inspired by a monk to seek admission to the order. But they wouldn't take him. Camillus had a serious leg wound that refused to heal. He would have been more burden than blessing, so he moved on. He went to Rome to care for the sick in a hospital where he had previously been a patient. But he was repelled by the inadequate medical care, the moral deprivation of the nurses, and the lack of spiritual attention given to the patients. Camillus decided something better was needed for the sick and found the solution when he looked in the mirror.Camillus was inspired by his saintly spiritual director, Saint Philip Neri, to establish a company of consecrated men who would serve the sick purely out of love for God. They served in the hospital of the Holy Spirit, still found today on the Tiber River close to the Vatican. Camillus and his co-workers earned a reputation for providing excellent medical care, for indefatigable service, and for doing their work with an intense spirit of prayer. While carrying out this demanding apostolate, Camillus also attended seminary and was ordained a priest in 1584. As the years passed, more men joined, new houses were established in other cities, and the rule for the Order of Clerks Regular, Ministers of the Infirm (M.I.), simply known as the Camillians, was approved by the Pope in 1591.Father Camillus instituted medical reforms that were rare for his time in regard to cleanliness, diet, infectious diseases, the search for cures, and the separation of healthcare administration from healthcare itself. When his order expanded to other countries, they even staffed a medical field unit accompanying soldiers in battle, an important innovation. This, together with his order's habit bearing a large, simple, red cross on the front, made Camillus a precursor of the modern Red Cross.Saint Camillus was practical as well as mystical. He wanted the best, physically, spiritually, and morally, for all those he cared for. Every patient was his Lord and Master. No patient, no matter how diseased, foul, dirty, or rude, was beyond his care. Along with his religious brothers, he even took a special fourth vow to care for those with the plague who might infect him. Two Camillians died of the plague in Camillus' own lifetime. “More love in those hands brother” was his constant refrain to his confreres. His example resonated, and the work of the Camillians continues today in various countries. After his order was firmly established, Saint Camillus succumbed to various diseases in 1614 in Rome. Soon after his death, two doctors from Holy Spirit Hospital came to examine the body, as Camillus was already considered a saint. They cut open his chest wall and removed his heart. An eyewitness wrote that his heart was huge, and as red as a ruby. Camillus was canonized in 1746, and a large statue of him adorns a niche in the central nave of St. Peter's Basilica. Along with Saint John of God, who was also a soldier, Saint Camillus is the patron saint of hospitals and the sick. Just a few hundred feet from the tourist hordes crushing to enter the Pantheon in the heart of Rome, the modestly sized but luxurious baroque church of Saint Mary Magdalene fronts a small piazza. Inside, usually alone, and resting in peace, are the remains of Saint Camillus de Lellis.Saint Camillus, you knew the rough life of the soldier, gambler, and wanderer. Because of your experiences, you practiced great empathy for the outcast, the sick, and the dying. Help us to be like you, to translate our empathy into action, and to be motivated primarily by love of God.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis' trip to Canada next week will be a “penitential pilgrimage” to bring healing and reconciliation, Francis said Sunday. The pope is scheduled to travel to the Canadian cities of Edmonton, Quebec City, and Iqaluit from July 24-29. There he will meet members of Canadian indigenous groups, residential school abuse survivors, and Catholics. Pope Francis is expected to issue an apology in Canada on behalf of the Catholic Church for abuses committed against indigenous students in Catholic-run residential schools. The Canadian bishops said last year that they would welcome Francis' visit as a “pilgrimage of healing and reconciliation.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251808/pope-francis-canada-visit-will-be-a-penitential-pilgrimage The Nigerian diocese of Kafanchan has asked for prayers after two Catholic priests were kidnapped Friday evening. Father John Mark Cheitnum and Father Denatus Cleopas were abducted at around 5:45 pm on July 15 at the rectory of Christ the King Catholic Church in the town of Lere in Nigeria's northern Kaduna State. At least seven Catholic priests have been kidnapped in Nigeria in the month of July, according to data compiled by Aid to the Church in Need, a Catholic nonprofit organization. The latest abduction brings the total up to 20 Nigerian priests kidnapped since the beginning of 2022. Three of the priests were killed. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251806/two-catholic-priests-kidnapped-in-nigeria China is exploiting children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, forcing them to work under hazardous conditions to mine the cobalt that powers electronic devices and electric cars, witnesses at a congressional hearing on human rights violations testified this week. The Democratic Republic of Congo produces more than 70% of the world's cobalt, 15% to 30% of which is produced in artisanal mines. Congolese civil rights attorney Hervé Diakiese Kyungu testified at the hearing that children are trafficked and exploited because of their small size. He explained that Congolese artisan miners often own the mines in name only. Chinese companies are the actual owners and operators of the mines, responsible for the inhumane conditions. Father Rigobert Minani Bihuzo, a Catholic priest who has worked to expose child labor and human rights violations in the DRC's mining sector, also testified to the dangerous working condition at the mines. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251800/congo-cobalt-mines-china-child-labor Today, the Church celebrates Saint Camillus de Lellis, who turned from his life as a soldier and gambler to become the founder of an order dedicated to caring for the sick. In some other countries, he is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, July 14. He founded the Order of the Ministers of the Sick, or simply as the “Camillians,” and the group received papal approval in 1586 and was confirmed as a religious order in 1591. In addition to the traditional vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, they took a vow of unfailing service to the sick. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-camillus-704
