The Giant of Charity: Powerful Novena to Saint Camillus De Lellis

By Joel Criscito

This novena to Saint Camillus de Lellis offers nine days of prayer and reflection for all who seek to grow in compassion, deepen their call to serve the sick, and experience the healing love of Christ. Once a soldier and gambler, Saint Camillus underwent a dramatic conversion that led him to found the Ministers of the Sick-an order dedicated to serving the infirm with heroic charity, even at the risk of their own lives. His life reveals that no wound or weakness is too great for God to transform into a vocation of love.

Rooted in the Gospel call to care for "the least of these," this devotion invites us to contemplate the sacredness of human suffering and the redemptive power of mercy. With reflections on his courageous service during plagues, his revolutionary approach to nursing, and his tireless advocacy for the dignity of every patient, this novena becomes a journey into the heart of Christian charity.

Each day offers Scripture, meditations, and heartfelt prayers that challenge us to see Christ in the sick, to embrace humility, and to respond with supernatural love in our daily encounters. Whether you're a caregiver, health worker, or simply someone yearning to grow in sacrificial love, this novena offers both inspiration and intercession.

May Saint Camillus de Lellis, patron of the sick, nurses, and hospitals, intercede for us with the same bold compassion that defined his life. Through his witness, may we learn to serve with tenderness, trust in divine providence, and carry Christ's healing presence to the suffering world.
