6 January – Epiphany Weekday (Christmas Season)
Optional memorial of Saint André Bessette, Religious (Brother André of Montreal)
The “miracle man of Mount Royal.” An illiterate orphan, doorkeeper for the Holy Cross congregation, who welcomed the sick, the broken, the desperate — and through his prayers to St. Joseph, thousands were healed. Built the world’s largest shrine to St. Joseph with nickels from the poor.
He said: “I am ignorant. If there were anyone more ignorant, the good God would choose him in my place.”
Spent his life rubbing oil from St. Joseph’s lamp on the suffering, telling them: “Go to Joseph.” Never took credit — always pointed to the foster father of Jesus.
Canonized in 2010 by Benedict XVI before the largest crowd ever in Canada. Patron of caregivers, the rejected, those who feel useless.
Christmas season lingers. White vestments. The light that dawned in Bethlehem still shines on the humble.
In a world that values credentials over compassion, Brother André reminds us: God chooses the weak to shame the strong.
St. André Bessette, pray for the sick, for Canada, and for every doorkeeper who quietly lets Jesus in.
