San Paolino di Nola, ora pro nobis
|
June 22nd is the Feast of San Paolino (354 AD – 431 AD), Bishop and Poet. Patron saint of gardeners and bell-ringers, he is also the principal patron of Nola (NA), Villamaina (AV), Sutera (CL) and Torregrotta (ME). In celebration, I'm posting a Prayer to San Paolino. The accompanying photo was taken at the Shrine Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Evviva San Paolino di Nola!
Prayer to San Paolino
O Lord, You made Saint Paulinus renowned for his love of poverty and concern for his people. May we who celebrate his witness to the Gospel imitate his example of love for others. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
