St. Charles Borromeo (1538-1584) was born in Milan, Italy to Gilbert, Count of Arona and Margaret de Medici. His mother, Margaret de Medici, was sister to the Marquis of Melegnano and sister to John Angelo de Medici, who became Pope Pius IV. Charles entered the priesthood in his young twenties, became a Cardinal and served not only his uncle but other popes as well. He was made a "saint" in the Roman Catholic Church in 1610

Charles Borromeo (1538-1584) became the driving force of reform within the Catholic Church in the wake of the Council of Trent following the Protestant Reformation and the primary reason Trent's dramatic reforms were successful. His remarkable accomplishments in Milan as Archbishop became the model of reform for the rest of Western Europe. Change is never easy, but St. Charles' approach – deeply biblical, personal, practical and centered on Christ – offers a road map of reform, even for today. Now for the first time in over 400 years a significant selection of his works appears in the English language. Chapter 1 offers three orations that St Charles gave as Archbishop of Milan to the other Bishops. These texts were among those that Pope Paul VI sent out to the Bishops of the world in 1963 during Vatican II. Chapter 2 contains a selection of homilies on the Eucharist and is followed by a collection of texts that treat the reform of the clergy. The final chapter presents Borromeo's efforts at mobilizing the laity in their own reform. This translation is intended to be faithful to Borromeo's Latin or Italian texts rendered into contemporary English.

THE Oblates of St. Charles in the Diocese of Westminster have long had the intention of publishing an English version of Giussano’s Life of their Founder. Now at last this purpose, so many years delayed, is happily accomplished. The time of its fulfilment is opportune, for on the 4th of next November will fall the third centenary of St. Charles’s death, at the early age of forty-six years. Aeterna Press
