What Do You Think Of Saint Camillus De Lellis?

[Mariantonietta]

Saint Camillus de Lellis was the most inspirational Saint!!!

 

The inspirer of the Red Cross, by wearing a huge red cross.

Transformed from being a soldier and gambler to “Giant of Charity”.

De Lellis established the Order of Clerks Regular, Ministers to the Sick better known as the Camillians.

He spread the care of poor patients from his hometown of Bucchianico, throughout the world.

In 1586 Pope Sixtus V gave the group formal recognition as a Congregation, and assigned them the beautiful Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Rome, which they still maintain, off Via della Maddalena near the Pantheon.

Camillus was beatified by Pope Benedict XIV in the year 1742, and canonized by him four years later in 1746.

 

Join Camillians world wide in celebrating the Fourth Centenary of the death of St. Camillus on July 14, 2014!

he's pretty amazing. I think the book Saints & Sinners has a blip about him.

Ooo I got him as my patron for next year. He was like super cool.

I don't know a whole lot about him, but my mom's a nurse, and he's the (or a?) patron saint of nurses. I have a water bottle from the local office of vocations that says, "Think well. Speak well. Do well." It's a quote of his, I love that water bottle and use it pretty much ever week when I take classes. I should read more about him.
