John was born in 1390 in Kety, Poland. He was a priest and a teacher at the University of Krakow, at a time when being a professor already meant a comfortable life.
He lived simply because he gave everything away.
Whatever came to him did not stay long. Money moved on. Food was shared. Clothes were passed to someone else. He kept almost nothing, not because he planned it that way, but because giving was his habit.
That is why he looked poor.
That is why his life stayed light.
He taught. He followed his daily routine. He lived without storing, saving, or building comfort around himself. Life flowed through him, not into him.
People sometimes mistook him for someone with nothing. In truth, he just did not keep more than he needed.
Saint John of Kanty shows a rare way of living—where simplicity is not a goal, but the natural result of generosity.
