    St. John Berchmans

    Saint John Berchmans was born on March 13, 1599. When John was but seven years old, the parish Priest remarked with pleasure that the Lord would work wonders in the soul of the child. John’s mother was stricken with a long and serious illness when he was nine years old, and he spent several hours daily by her bedside, consoling her with his affecttionate, though serious words.

    A Great Love for God

    He was naturally kind, gentle and affectionate; was endowed with a keen intellect and a retentive memory. What distinguished him most, however, was his piety. When hardly seven years old he was accustomed to rise early and serve two or three Masses with the greatest fervor. He attended religious instructions and listened to Sunday sermons with the deepest recollection; made pilgrimages to the sanctuary of Mont a few miles from his home, reciting the rosary as he was absorbed in meditation. When he entered the Jesuit college at Mechlin he was enrolled in the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin and resolved to recite her Office daily.

    Towards the end of his rhetoric course, he felt a distinct call to the Society of Jesus. He overcame the opposition of his family, and was received into the novitiate at Mechlin on September 24, 1616. Two years later he was sent to Antwerp to study philosophy. After a few weeks, he journeyed by foot to Rome to continue the same study. He arrived at the Roman College on December 31, 1618. Early in August, 1621, he was selected by the Prefect of Studies to take part in a philosophical disputation at the Greek College which was under the charge of the Dominicans.

    Upon returning to his college he was seized with a violent fever, from which he died on August 13th, at the age of twenty-two years and five months. He was accustomed to say, “If I do not become a Saint when I am young, I shall never become one”. He always conformed his will to that of his Superiors and to the Rules. “My penance”, he would say, “is to live the common life…. I will pay the greatest attention to the least inspiration of God.” He was most faithful in the performance of all his duties. When he died, many people came to see him and to invoke his intercession. He was canonized by Pope Leo XIII in 1888
