Love of contempt in Saint John of God

One day, when he had gone to the old palace of the Inquisition to collect alms, saint John of God was passing through a courtyard near a fountain, when a young servant, pretending not to notice him, pushed him so hard that he knocked him into the water. For this type of people, on seeing the Saint, always treated him as a madman. As for him, he got out of the pool, and recovered as best he could, without complaining, without giving the slightest sign of emotion, having on the contrary a joyful air, grateful even to this boy. He continued his rounds as if nothing had happened to him; this surprised all those who saw him, and inspired the greatest respect for his person.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
