23rd December – Saint John of Kanty
Fight all error but do it with good humour, patience, kindness and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause. What kind of work can be more noble than to cultivate the minds of young people, guarding it carefully, so that the knowledge and love of God and His holy precepts go hand-in-hand with learning? To form young Christians and citizens-isn’t this the most beautiful and noble-minded way to make use of life, of all one’s talents and energy?" - Saint John of Kanty
