Charles of Mount Argus
Charles of Mount Argus, C.P. (11 December 1821 – January 1893), was a Dutch Passionist priest who served in 19th-century Ireland. He gained a reputation for his compassion for the sick and those in need of guidance. His reputation for healings was so great at the time that a reference is made to him in the famous novel ''Ulysses'' by James Joyce. He has been canonized by the Catholic Church.
==Life==
He was born Joannes Andreas Houben on 11 December 1821 in the village of Munstergeleen in the Province of Limburg in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, to Peter Joseph Houben and his wife, Johanna Elizabeth Luyten. He was named after his maternal uncle and godfather, but to the family he was known as Andrew. His father was a miller by trade. As a boy Andrew attended the village primary school. One of 11 children in a poor family, he was a slow learner in his youth.〔(D'arcy CP, Brian, "Doing God's Will", ''Herald of Hope: Reflections on the Life and Spirit of St. Charles of Mount Argus'', Ovada Books )〕 To those outside his family he seemed quiet and extremely shy.〔(Spencer C.P., Paul Francis, ''To Heal the Broken-Hearted: St. Charles of Mount Argus'', 1988 )〕
When Houben was 19 years old he was enrolled for military service in the First Infantry Regiment of the Netherlands. It is said that on occasion during his time as a soldier there was a disturbance in the town; the army were called out and ordered to fire. Afraid that he might hit someone, Andrew pointed his rifle the wrong way and narrowly missed shooting his superior officer.〔 On 18 February 1845 his period as a reserve in the army came to an end and he was formally discharged.
