Feastday: January 25
1305 - 1366

Carmelite Latinpatriarch and papal legate. Peter was born in Gascony, France and joined the Carmelites while still a young man. In 1342 he was appointed procurator of the order and, from Avignon, he oversaw the organization and government of the Carmelites. As Avignon was then the seat of the popes, he entered into their service, attracting papal attention because of his skills as a preacher and his elo�quence. Named to the papal diplomatic service, he held the post of papal legate to Genoa, Milan, and Venice, and was appointed bishop of Patti and Lipari in 1354, bishop of Coron in 1359, archbishop of Candia in 1363, and titular Patriarch of Constantinople in 1364. At the behest of Pope Urban V, he journeyed to Serbia, Hungary, and Constantinople in an effort to organize a crusade against the Turks. He took part in a military operation against Alexandria, Egypt, in 1365 during which he was severely wounded. He died from his injuries at Cyprus a few months later. While never formally canonized, his feast was permitted to the Carmelites in 1608.

Dear Catholic online, is today also dedicated to the conversion of St. Paul on the road to Damascus? In the dramatic encounter with Jesus and on hearing the Lord's tormented voice "Saul, Saul why do you persecute me?" Paul was converted from being a persecutor of Christians to an apostle of Christ. Dear Jesus help us to know that we too encounter You in much more subtle, quiet ways. Give us the Grace of gratitude to You, for every moment of the day for as ST. Paul says, "In you I live and breathe and have my being". Dear St. Paul, you were a fearless soldier of Christ. Like you, we Catholics would like to be courageous, brave, tactful and intelligent. Amen.
