Sep 13 – Bl. Sanctes of Montefabro – Franciscan Saint of the Day

 

The Life of Bl. Sanctus of Montefabro, Confessor, First Order (d. 1390) for the Franciscan Saint of the Day for Sep 13. He was a son of wealthy parents and after mortally wounding someone in self-defense he choose to leave the world and entered the Franciscans where he led an exemplary life. He had many mystical experiences and miracles including power over animals like St Francis.

Reflection is on a tender conscience regarding divine justice as exemplified by Bl. Sanctes, and led to his great sanctity.
