"Healthy people don't need a doctor; sick people do." Thank heaven--for all our sakes.
His last words were reputed to have been: "My only desire is to see Mary, who has saved me and who will save me from the clutches of Satan."
It was recently announced by Pope Leo that he will be canonized on October 25, 2025.
Right!
Thank you for this! I needed to be reminded that no-one is beyond hope, beyond God’s love and mercy.

“He restored a church in Pompeii, installing a thrift-store painting of the Blessed Virgin.” Our Mother is never out of reach…even in a thrift-store. Wonderful story.
I also love the “chaste marriage”…
Praise be Jesus Christ! A beautiful example of what God can do in a soul. Stories like Blessed Bartolo Longo's give me so much hope.
