Saint Charles Borromeo (Patron of Seminarians)

 
"I admit that we are all weak, but if we want help, the Lord God has given us the means to find it easily. Would you like me to teach you how to grow from virtue to virtue and how, if you are already recollected at prayer, you can be even more attentive next time, and so give God more pleasing worship? Listen, and I will tell you. If a tiny spark of God's love already burns within you, do not expose it to the wind, for it may get blown out. Keep the stove tightly shut so that it will not lose its heat and grow cold. In other words, avoid distractions as well as you can. Stay quiet with God. Do not spend your time in useless chatter." -  Saint Charles Borromeo

Please remember all our seminarians here at St. Vincent Seminary and all seminarians throughout the world on this day in which we remember the Great St. Charles Borromeo, patron of seminarians.
