History
Even when he was a little boy of five years of age, Saint
John Francis Regis wanted to be holy. He had a teacher who would quickly lose
his temper and treat John and other students unfairly, but John never
complained. He didn’t even complain when he was 18 years old and contracted a
terrible sickness. Every Sunday, he spent his time in church or reading the
Bible at home. Sometimes John would cry when he was kneeling before the
crucifix, thinking about what Jesus did for all of us. He became a priest and
did the most difficult or distasteful work himself. God even did miracles
through St. John, healing people.
Activity
Today after mass, spend some extra time in front of the
Crucifix, just like Saint John used to do. You can pray this Prayer Before the Crucifix or you can just be silent and let God speak to your heart.
