Saint of the Day – January 5 – Saint John Neumann, Bishop

Saint John Neumann (๐•„๐•’๐•ฃ๐•”๐•™ 28, 1811 โ€“ ๐•๐•’๐•Ÿ๐•ฆ๐•’๐•ฃ๐•ช 5, 1860)

Neumann took seriously our Lordโ€™s words, โ€œGo and teach all nations.โ€ From Christ he received his instructions and the power to carry them out. For Christ does not give a mission without supplying the means to accomplish it. The Fatherโ€™s gift in Christ to John Neumann was his exceptional organizing ability, which he used to spread the Good News. Today the Church is in dire need of men and women to continue in our times the teaching of the Good News. The obstacles and inconveniences are real and costly. Yet when Christians approach Christ, he supplies the necessary talents to answer todayโ€™s needs. The Spirit of Christ continues his work through the instrumentality of generous Christians.
