SAINT FELIX of CANTALICE

 I praise Thee Father that thou did hide these things from the wise and prudent, and did reveal them to little ones: Matthew 11:25

Today the boys and I read about Saint Felix of Cantalice. Also known as
Ass of the Capuchins (his own nickname for himself) and Brother Deo Gratias ("Deo Gratias" was his habitual greeting). We read about his great love for the Blessed Virgin, his devotion to the rosary and how much he loved the holy name of Jesus.
His word to his companions were: Let us go my brother with rosary in hand, our eyes to the ground and our spirit in heaven.
