St. Francis of Paola, Hermit

Today, April 2, we celebrate the commemoration of St. Francis of Paola, Hermit.

Saint Francis was born at Paola in Calabria in 1416. He founded a congregation of hermits, which was later entitled the Order of Minims, and approved by the Apostolic See in 1506. He died at Tours in France in 1507.

 Let's start the day by praying and asking for guidance.

 Prayer
Father of the lowly,
you raised Saint Francis of Paola
to the glory of your saints.
By his example and prayers,
may we come to the rewards
you have promised the humble
Amen!
