24th October – Saint Anthony Mary Claret
Christian perfection consists in three things: praying heroically, working heroically, and suffering heroically. The Christian who desires to follow Jesus carrying his cross must bear in mind that the name "Christian" means "learner or imitator of Christ" and that if he wishes to bear that noble title worthily he must above all do as Christ charges us in the Gospel: We must oppose or deny ourselves, take up the cross, and follow him - Saint Anthony Mary Claret
