St. Camillus de Lellis - For the Sick, Poor, Gamblers & Soldiers


Saint Camillus de Lellis is a great Saint not only because of the miracles he performed, but because of his imperfections.  He became a soldier while quite young, and was a grumpy, chronic gambler.  

It is so nice to see his example, and that God can use us no matter what our imperfections are, or have been, or how long our history with sin is.  All that matters is that we give it all to him, to use and transform us in his ultimate goodness.

I like that he's not a goody goody saint.  Don't you?
