After the excitement of Easter weeks, ascension and pentecost, we are all looking to a more quiet month of July. However, is there a month that is quiet in the catholic world? I would say no because discovering the lives of the saints coupled with exciting news about Jesus and our Lady will keep one pretty busy. When you read about the lives of the saints, your faith strengthens; you realize that they chose to follow the gospel to help them get closer to Jesus.
You should also aspire to become intimate with God through Jesus. And it is always good to ask His mother for assistance on your journey toward her son. Here are some saints that we believe you should learn about as well as one important day of our Lady of Perpetual Help in the Christian calendar:
- July 1 – St. Junipero Serra;
- July 3 – St. Thomas the Apostle
- July 6 – St. Maria Goretti
- July 7, 8, 9 – Many martyrs
- July 14 – St. Kateri Tekakwitha
- July 16 – Our Lady of Mount Carmel
- July 17 – Saint Francis Solano
- July 22 – Saint Mary Magdalene
-
July 23 – Saint Bridget of Sweden
-
July 25 – Saint James the Apostle, brother of John the Evangelist
- June 26 – Saints Joachim and Anne
- July 29 – St. Martha
- July 30 – Saint Solanus Casey
Lean about the saints lives; you will be surprised to find our human like you they are. Enjoy July. Thank you.
