Reflections on the words of Frederic Ozanam to mark the 200th anniversary of his birth

‘Frederick Ozanam’s life was a proclamation of his belief in the dignity of the human person’ John Paul II at the beatificaction

‘…to choose a patron saint does not mean simply adopting a figurehead … [but] a model whom we must try to imitate … endeavouring to acquire something of his warmth of heart, attempting to catch up the threads which were in his brain.’ Ozanam
