27th April - Saint Zita of Lucca
A servant is not holy if she is not busy; lazy people of our position is fake holiness said Saint Zita.
Saint Zita, was a humble domestic who achieved her sainthood by zealously carrying out the minutiae of her mundane tasks. In her own way, this Italian housekeeper lived out ahead of her time the principles of the Little Way, which were expressed by St. Therese of Lisieux many centuries later. Saint Zita is the patron of homemakers, who can help us love our families, find Christ in our chores, and complete our work each day in peace and joy. Saint Zita of Lucca, pray for us!
