St. Camillus de Lellis (18 July): What Would Jesus Do? This

About this sermon

St. Camillus de Lellis is one of the Church's greatest examples of radical conversion and heroic charity. Born in Italy in 1550, Camillus spent his youth as a soldier consumed by gambling, violence, and vice before God's grace transformed his life forever. After suffering a severe leg wound that never healed, Camillus eventually found his true vocation caring for the sick in Rome's hospitals. Under the spiritual guidance of St. Philip Neri, he became a priest and founded the Clerics Regular, Ministers of the Sick—better known today as the Camillians. His order took an extraordinary fourth vow: to serve the sick even at the risk of their own lives. During plague outbreaks they entered infected ships, tended the dying, comforted souls preparing for death, and many willingly gave their lives in imitation of Christ. Discover the remarkable story of one of the Church's greatest patrons of nurses, hospitals, caregivers, and the sick—a man who truly lived the words of Christ: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." May the example of St. Camillus inspire us to embrace charity, self-sacrifice, and complete trust in God.
