Day 60: St. Roger of Canne

Today we honor St. Roger of Canne, a 12th-century bishop from southern Italy whose holiness was lived quietly through prayer, humility, and faithful shepherding. Serving a small and struggling diocese during a turbulent time, St. Roger reminds us that sanctity is often formed far from the spotlight, through perseverance and love for God’s people.In this episode of Saints in a Year, Saul shares 7 in-depth reflections on St. Roger of Canne. You’ll learn about the political and spiritual challenges of his era, his commitment to prayer and personal austerity, his gentle approach to reform, and why the Church remembers him during the Christmas season as a model of faithful, hidden holiness.This episode invites us to reflect on the kind of witness most Christians are called to live — not dramatic or public, but steady, humble, and rooted in daily obedience to Christ.✝️ Reflection Verse“I am the good shepherd.
