| San Giovan Giuseppe della Croce, ora pro nobis |
March 5 is the Feast of San Giovan Giuseppe della Croce (1654–1734), Priest of the Order of Friars Minor, Mystic, Ascetic, and Miracle-Worker. He is the patron saint of the Isle of Ischia. In celebration, we’re posting a prayer to St. John Joseph of the Cross. Pictured is an engraving of the saint by Innocente Alessandri after Pietro Antonio Novelli. Evviva San Giovan Giuseppe della Croce!Prayer to St. John Joseph of the Cross
St. John Joseph, we ask today for your mighty intercession, to pray for us that we learn humility and seek an attitude of service so we, too, may follow in the footsteps of Jesus. In His Mighty Name we pray, Amen.
