St. John of Kanty
St. John was born at Kenty in Poland in 1390; and studied at Cracow with great industry and success. Meanwhile, his modesty and virtue drew many hearts to the Lord.
He was, for a short time, in charge of a parish; but he shrank from the burden of responsibility, and returned to his life as professor at Cracow. There, for many years, he lived a life of unobtrusive virtue, self-denial, and charity.
