Friends of the Rosary,

Today, Friday 21, is the Memorial of St. Peter Damian (1007-1072), Doctor of the Church and one of the greatest reformers of the Middle Ages.

In his poem, the Divine Comedy, Dante places Damian in the “seventh heaven.” That was his place for holy people who loved to think about or contemplate God.

Men admire Damian, the scholar, for his wealth of wisdom; Damian, the preacher of God’s word, for his apostolic zeal; Damian, the monk, for his austerity and self-denial; Damian, the priest, for his piety and zeal for souls; Damian, the cardinal, for his loyalty and submission to the Holy See, his enthusiasm and devotion for the good of Mother Church.

He wrote, “Do not stop protecting yourself daily by receiving the Flesh and Blood of the Lord.”  He often prescribed penances and fasting to lax religious people.

Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
St. Peter Damian, Pray for Us!
