St. Camillus De Lellis Novena

By Rev. Williams Frederick

Born into a turbulent life in 16th-century Italy, St. Camillus de Lellis seemed destined for ruin-marked by rebellion, gambling, and a failed military career due to a debilitating leg wound. But his story is one of profound transformation. After hitting rock bottom, Camillus found purpose while working among the sick at San Giacomo Hospital in Rome. There, he experienced a spiritual awakening that reshaped his life.

Guided by St. Philip Neri, Camillus became a priest and founded the Order of the Ministers of the Sick, known as the Camillians. Their mission was revolutionary: to serve the sick with unwavering love, even at the cost of their own lives. This fourth vow set them apart, especially during times of plague and war, when others fled and they remained.

Camillus died in 1614, but his legacy lives on. Canonized in 1746, he is now the patron saint of the sick, hospitals, nurses, and physicians. His life is a testament to the power of grace, the dignity of every human soul, and the belief that in serving the suffering, one serves Christ Himself.
