I knew I could never get away with just writing one post without finding something else to write about, oh well, hopefully the poor readers will forgive me for my constant writing. I thought I should write something about a Saint who I wrote down as today being his feast day (but online it says September 18th, I need to research more, but I am certain that it is today). This being said today I am going to write a few quotes by the Saint, who is Thomas of Villianova, a Augustian (I think I spelled that correctly).
"What does a poor friar like myself want with furniture." -his explanation on why he gave the furniture he was given to a hospital.
"If there are people who refuse to work, that is for the authorities to deal with. My duty is to assist and relieve those who come to my door." -his explanation for why he constantly helped those who knocked at his door.
Saint Thomas of Villianova is considered as one of the "Father of the Poor".
God bless,
Nikita
