December 23
Juan Cancio (1390–1473)
Priest
He studied at the University of Krakow, was ordained a priest and was a theology professor at this university for many years.
Biography
He is remembered as very learned, charitable and moderate in religious controversies that at that time were frequently carried out with blood and fire. His biography lacks major episodes that are out of the ordinary: he was a wise, very pious and charitable man and he sanctified himself in his work and in the daily exercise of virtues.
Practical advice
During this day, pray for a priest who goes through a difficulty without seeking applause or recognition.
