As a young cardinal and Archbishop of Milan, he devoted his life to restoring holiness among clergy and laity alike, living simply, serving the poor, and risking his own life during plague and famine to care for his flock.In this episode of Saints in a Year, we’ll look at seven cool facts about St. Charles Borromeo from his leadership in the Council of Trent to his lasting legacy of priestly formation, and how his example challenges us to live what we preach.📖 Reflection Verse:“Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you.”— 1 Peter 5:2💬 Saint’s Words to Remember:“Be sure that you first preach by the way you live.”— St. Charles Borromeo🙏 PrayerSt. Charles Borromeo, faithful servant of the Church,teach us to lead with humility and to reform our own heartsbefore we seek to reform the world.Help us to live with integrity, mercy, and love.Pray for us.📅 Follow Saints in a Year daily as we walk through the Church calendar, discovering the saints who show us what it means to live for Christ.📺 Subscribe to join the journey: ‎⁨@TravelingtoDamascus⁩  📖 #TheRoadToDamascus #SaintsInAYear #StCharlesBorromeo #CatholicFaith
