Feast Day of Saint Alexius of Rome 🕊️
Hey everyone! Did you know that July 17th is the feast day of Saint Alexius of Rome? Saint Alexius is known for his incredible humility and dedication to his faith. According to tradition, he was born into a wealthy Roman family but chose to live a life of poverty and piety. After leaving his comfortable life, he spent 17 years in Syria, living as a beggar and dedicating himself to God. Later, he returned to his family’s home in Rome but remained unrecognized and continued living a humble life under their stairs until his death. His story inspires us to live selflessly and focus on our spiritual journey.
