Saint of the Day - Bl. Cesar de Bus

Bl. Cesar de Bus (1544-1607)
A wild youth, Cesar had complete conversion when he passed a church on the way to a party and saw a small light illuminating a picture of the Virgin Mary. After he was ordained, he founded a religious order and became a great catechist. St. Francis de Sales called him "a star of the first magnitude in the firmament of Catechesis."

"I was so beside myself and fired with such a longing to do something in imitation of him, that I would not give my eyes sleep or my days rest until I had given some beginning to this resolution of mine."
-Blessed Cesar de Bus, writing about Saint Charles Borromeo
