Spirituality: Humble service and Eucharistic prayer.
Reflection: Conrad was a Bavarian farmer’s son who joined the Capuchins and served
for some forty years as porter of the friary at Altötting, a famous shrine of Our Lady.
He welcomed thousands of pilgrims, fed the poor who came to the door, and spent
every spare moment in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. He said the Cross was
his book. Pope Pius XI canonized him in 1934. Conrad shows that answering the door,
done with love, can be a path to sanctity.
