Saint of the day and spiritual life #Jésus

Saint Vincent de Paul was born on April 24, 1581, in Pouy, on a small farm in southwest France, into a poor but deeply Christian peasant family. From an early age, he showed a pious spirit and a great love for God.

The Holy Name of Mary is a Catholic devotion that celebrates and honors the name of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ. This feast is a way to recognize not only the greatness and holiness of Mary, but also the importance of her name in the history of salvation and in the lives of the faithful.

La fête de la Nativité de la Vierge Marie est célébrée par l’Église le 8 septembre, exactement neuf mois après la fête de son Immaculée Conception (8 décembre). Cette naissance marque un tournant dans l’histoire du salut : avec Marie commence à se lever l’aurore du mystère de l’Incarnation, car de son sein viendra le Sauveur du monde.

Martha, Mary, and Lazarus were two sisters and a brother from Bethany, a village near Jerusalem. They were close friends of Jesus Christ, and their home was a place Jesus often visited. Their story is told in several passages in the Gospels.

The name "Magdalene" means that she was from Magdala, a town on the western shore of Lake Tiberias in Galilee. Her full name is therefore Mary Magdalene.

Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary and foster father of Jesus, is a central figure in Christianity. Although the Gospels provide little information about him, Christian tradition and certain texts have enriched his story.

John was the son of Zebedee, a fisherman from Galilee, and Salome. He was the brother of James the Greater, also an apostle. Together they were called “sons of thunder” by Jesus. John was among the first disciples called by Jesus while he was fishing on the Sea of Tiberias.
