St. Camillus de Lellis (18 July): Hospitals & Hospitality

About this sermon

Did you know that the roots of the modern hospital are deeply connected to Christian charity? In this inspiring homily, we reflect on the life of St. Camillus de Lellis, whose profound love for Christ led him to dedicate his life to caring for the sick, the dying, and victims of plague. After being unable to continue the rigorous Capuchin life because of illness, St. Camillus discerned God's greater plan: founding an order devoted entirely to serving those abandoned in their greatest suffering. Discover how authentic Christian charity transformed healthcare, why caring for the dying is one of the Church's greatest works of mercy, and how love of God naturally overflows into love of neighbor. This sermon reminds us that true charity is never motivated by worldly recognition but by a burning love for Jesus Christ. May St. Camillus intercede for all healthcare workers, caregivers, priests, and families caring for the sick.
