I knelt for a long

time before the
Crucifix for I thought
it was necessary
to learn from
Him what I have
to teach you.

understand it, you will wish to know how

whether it is in you.

In order to receive the absolution of all

your sins, you have to avoid hiding any of

physician all his deadly wounds but one, he
will die just because of that one.

spiritually alive.

everyone can know it instinctively.

Many indeed begin with all their strength,

but then give up and are overcome in the

Vocal prayer alone, especially if it does

You should know that God acts in ways

contrary to mans, which means to say that
God begins from a higher place and comes

God has endowed you with an intellect that

is not and cannot be limited by the horizon

taste Him and experience the incorruptibility

of all worldly things as well as a constant
longing for the heavenly ones. ~ Sermon 6 ~

You spend your life and your property for

your children; could you, then, let them die

fact, those who give what is more usually also
give what is less.

THE BARNABITE FATHERS are Clerics Regular, that is, clerics doing any priestly work but
living together under a special Rule, bound by solemn vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
SAINT PAUL is the patron saint of the Order from whom the Barnabites draw inspiration in
spreading the devotion to Christ Crucified and to the Holy Eucharist.
THE ORDER WAS FOUNDED almost 500 years ago by Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria
(1502-1539), a learned and charitable medical doctor. Believing that souls were more in need of
healing than bodies, he became a priest.
THE CLERICS REGULAR OF SAINT PAUL are commonly called Barnabites from their first
major Church in Milan, Italy, which was dedicated to Saint Barnabas.
FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE of their Holy Founder, every Barnabite adds the name Mary
to his.
THE BARNABITE ORDER consists of both priests and brothers. The Barnabites are in:
Afghanistan, Albania, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Congo, India, Italy, Mexico,
Philippines, Poland, Rwanda, Spain, and the United States.
