St. Camillus de Lellis

We celebrated St. Camillus’ feast day in the crypt chapel under the Palace of Westminster. St. Camillus, born in 1550, is a patron saint of nurses. After a misspent youth he devoted himself to the Faith.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

(1 John 3: 14–18.)
