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 two 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.
