Charles Borromeo was a Cardinal of the Church who lived during the time of the Reformation In which the world and the Church were torn by war and division.
And Charles led the Counter Reformation in the Church.
One might think that this is a noble thing to do.
But He faced resistance from his own family members and priests and religious.
The most difficult reform however is not that of other people,
But of ourselves.
Habits die hard as do sins.
Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.
St. Charles Borromeo reminds us that if we want to reform the Church we must first reform ourselves.
