The life of Bl. Benvenute of Gubbio, Confessor, First Order (d. ~1232) for the June 29th Franciscan Saint of the Day. He was an accomplished knight of Gubbio, Italy who joined the Franciscans as a humble lay bother taking care of leper patients at a hospital and developed a deep prayer life and devotion to Mary, accompanied by many mystical experiences.
Reflection is on conformity to God's will and overcoming self-will.
