Work at your tasks in due season, and in his own time God will give you your reward.
Sirach 51:30
Today, as it turns out, is the feast of Saint Charles Borromeo, worthy man that he is. I had forgotten that he was both a civil and a canon lawyer. He is also the patron of catechists and Catholic education. He's known for "promulgation of regulations intended to foster the Church's mission." He was, in short, the quintessential Catholic churchman.
What I did remember correctly is that none of his strengths speak directly to my life and calling except one: Holiness to which we all are called.
Good Saint Charles, pray for us all.
