St. Camillus de Lellis
Day 1
July 18th.
-
By that especial favour by which your mother saw before your birth the vision of a boy who bore, amidst others, a cross on his breast: obtain for us, O glorious St. Camillus, that we may always faithfully correspond to the designs of God on us. Gloria.
-
By that heroic resolution which caused you in your young age to abandon all the pomps and pleasures of the world to dedicate yourself to the most austere practices of penance in the order of St. Francis: obtain for us, O glorious St. Camillus, that we may be so sincerely converted to the Lord, that we may henceforth devote ourselves sincerely to the crucifixion of our appetites, and the sanctification of our souls. Gloria.
-
By that unalterable patience with which you endured for forty years the suffering of a wound in the leg, always open and bleeding: obtain, O glorious St. Camillus, for us, that we may always suffer in peace all the infirmities and adversities with which God shall be pleased to prove our fidelity. Gloria.
-
By the ardent charity which caused you to take the greatest delight in personally serving the sick: obtain for us, O glorious St. Camillus, the grace to recognize Jesus Christ in every suffering neighbour, that we may always be prompt to afford them every possible succour. Gloria.
-
By that singular assistance which you have rendered to sick and dying persons, especially by the establishment of your order: obtain for us, O glorious St. Camillus, the grace always to labour to please God, and that we may enjoy His assistance in all our necessities, but especially at the hour of our death. Gloria.
