April 15: Saint Peter Gonzalez also called Elmo
At first he was worldly and vain, although in the service of the Church as a canon. One day, while riding through the main part of town, he fell from his horse into the mud. The people assembled to laugh at him. Since the world laughs at me, from now on I will laugh at the world. , he said as he got up. He entered the order of Saint Dominic, leaving the world.
PRAYER: May the world laugh at me, like it did you, Saint Peter, let me respond as you did by ignoring the vain reasonings of the world and accepting the true wisdom of the science of the Saints. Amen.
