Feastday: June 18
1625 - 1697

St. Gregory Barbarigo was born in 1625, of a very old and distinguished Venetian family. A brilliant student, he embraced a diplomatic career and accompanied the Venetian Ambassador, Contarini, to the Congress of Munster in 1648. Then he became a priest and was soon thereafter consecrated as the first Bishop of Bergamo by Pope Alexander VII. Later on he was elevated to the rank of Cardinal and also given authority over the diocese of Padua. He guided his flock with pastoral wisdom and deep understanding. St. Gregory Barbarigo worked unceasingly in carrying out the reforms set forth by the Council of Trent. Through his efforts the seminaries of both Bergamo and Padua were substantially enlarged. At Padua he also added a library and a printing press. He died in 1697. His feast day is June 18th.

St. Gregory Barbarigo, increase in us a love of learning and of the sacred Scriptures. In today's Gospel, we are asked by Jesus to "offer the other cheek" when we are hurt, insulted or wronged in any way. Help us in our path to holiness. Give us the gift of humility and patience. I bless God for the life of parents who gave us the greatest gift ever, the gift of Baptism. Amen
