July 18th - St. Camillus of Lellis (1550-1614)

   "The figure on this crucifix, which is venerated in the Church of Mary Magdalene in Rome, is the one which in 1582 detached it's arm and comforted St.Camillus de Lellis with these words 'Take Courage, faint-hearted one. Continue the work you have begun. I will be with you because it is my work.' --from here.

"In the sick he saw the person of Christ. His reverence in their presence was as a great as if he were really and truly in the presence of his Lord."
