Blessed Contardo Ferrini was one of Europe's most celebrated law professors — and he stopped everything every day at noon to pray.
A brilliant scholar of Roman law who also lived a private vow of chastity and simplicity, Contardo believed that studying seriously was itself a form of worship. No matter how busy his day, he paused at noon to pray the Angelus, and spent his summers hiking into the Alps to study and pray in the mountain silence.
"The mind is a gift from God and studying is a way of honoring Him."
