St. Charles Borromeo | Reformer Saint.

catholictv on Dec 3, 2018 Saint Charles Borromeo (1538-1584) is associated with reform. He had a hand in the whole Church's reform during the final years of the Council of Trent. Charles took the initiative in giving a good example. He allotted most of his income to charity, forbade himself all luxury, and imposed severe penances upon himself. He sacrificed wealth, high honors, esteem, and influence to become poor. During the plague and famine of 1576, Borromeo tried to feed 60,000 to 70,000 people daily. His feast day is November 4.
