January 24 - Memorial of Saint Francis de Sales

Much like Jesus Himself, Hilary did not experience peace during his religious vocation, but conflict. This reluctant Bishop of Poitiers in France, a convert to Christianity from Paganism, became a defender of Christ's divinity.

January 5 - Memorial of Saint John Neumann

January 4 - Memorial of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Elizabeth had no mystical gifts and didn't work any miracles, but she did have a devotion to the will of God and a zeal to provide aid and peace to those around her.

May God capture our spirits with that same compassionate fire.
