If there is one quality that characterised the life of
Blessed Peter Faber, it was his desire to spread the Word of God through his
teaching and sermons. He was one of the Theologians appointed by Pope Paul III
to the Council of Trent. He was renowned for his learning and his knowledge of
scripture and his skill in giving the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius. Though
he was able to win back many Catholics who had lapsed and draw others to the
faith, his humility made him constantly acknowledge the fact that this success
was not due to his eloquence and knowledge but to God working in him. Though he
died when he was barely forty years of age, he was able because of his humility
and openness to do great things for God.
Through the intercession of Blessed Peter Faber we
pray for the grace of humility and openness, so that the God, who worked in his
life and was able to do great things in and through him, might do the same in
our lives as well.
