No age of the Catholic Church’s history is without its share of confusion and corruption. Still, even in moments when disorder may seem overwhelming, individuals and movements eventually arise to propose the Faith with clarity and demonstrate it in action. St. Charles Borromeo, a central figure in the Council of Trent during the 16th-century (and during the Protestant Reformation), is remembered as a model of such leadership in difficult times. When better patron saint could we ask for in the midst of this week!
Let us pray. “O Lord, preserve in the midst of your people the spirit with which you filled Saint Charles Borromeo, that your Church may be constantly renewed and, by conforming herself to the likeness of Christ, may show His face to the world. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.”
