Bishop
Giuseppe Sarto Even as Bishop, he paid special attention to instructing the children.
During his pastoral visits, he often took time to teach the First
Communicants. Parents who were slow to perform their Christian duty were
scolded. He could not tolerate
lax attitudes when it came to raising children in the faith.
Giuseppe’s days were quite strenuous.
Each day began at 5:00am with Mass in his chapel, followed by prayer
and the hearing of confessions at the Cathedral.
Breakfast was followed by a busy day’s work, interrupted by numerous
unannounced visits. In the
evening, he strolled through the streets of Mantua to speak with the people
and by 9:00pm he would pray the rosary and continue his work and study until
midnight.
