Saint of the Day for 28 May
Saint of the Day 28 May: Celebrating the Lives of the Church’s Saints
Every day, the Catholic Church honors a saint or blessed who stood out for their faith, dedication, and love for God. The Saint of the Day is an opportunity for the faithful to learn more about the history of the Church and be inspired by the witness of these men and women who lived according to Christ’s teachings.
The Meaning of the Saint of the Day
The celebration of the Saint of the Day is a Church tradition that helps us remember those who were examples of faith and holiness. Saints may have been martyrs who gave their lives defending their faith, missionaries who spread the Gospel, or ordinary people who lived in deep communion with God through simplicity.
Learning about each saint’s story inspires us to live with more love, patience, and hope. It also reminds us that we are all called to holiness.
Why Do We Celebrate the Saints?
Saints serve as models of Christian life. Their stories show us that, despite challenges, it is possible to live according to God’s will. Moreover, the faithful often seek the intercession of saints, believing that they are close to God and can pray for our needs.
Following the Saint of the Day is a way to strengthen our spiritual journey and learn from those who dedicated their lives to serving God. May we follow their examples and strive each day to live with greater love, faith, and hope!
🙏 May today’s Saint of the Day intercede for us and inspire us to live according to God’s will!

“From souls wherein the Spirit dwells comes understanding of mysteries, distribution of good gifts, the heavenly citizenship, abiding in God, and, highest of all, the being made God” (Saint Basil the Great)
“Pentecost is this: Jesus, and through him God himself, actually comes to us and draws us to himself. ‘He sends forth the Holy Spirit’ - this is what Scripture says. What effect does this have? First of all, two aspects: the Holy Spirit, through whom God comes to us, brings us life and freedom” (Benedict XVI)
“All the faithful share in understanding and handing on revealed truth. They have received the anointing of the Holy Spirit, who instructs them and guides them into all truth (cf. Jn 16:13)” (Catechism Of The Catholic Church, Nº 91)
