GIUSEPPE OTTONE, SERVANT OF GOD

GIUSEPPE OTTONE, SERVANT OF GOD - 4 FEBRUARY

SERVANT OF GOD GIUSEPPE OTTONE

Servant of God Giuseppe Ottone, known as Peppino, first saw the light of day on March 18, 1928 in Castelpagano (Benevento). Born out of wedlock, he was taken in by a family who adopted him.

He was a pious boy, who received his First Communion on March 26, 1935. Peppino regularly shared his lunch with the needy and invited his less fortunate companions to his home. He was known for his special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Pompeii.

When his adoptive mother became gravely ill and had to face a very risky surgical procedure, Peppino, in prayer, offered his life in order for her to survive. At the age of twelve, Peppino collapsed in the street and despite being taken to hospital, he went to his eternal reward on February 4, 1941.

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus. And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright. HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight. GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mar...

After the death of her husband and her daughters, she went to the monastery of St Aurea, named St-Maria de Cuteclara, and after her martyrdom led the same for nine years as her successor. After she had made wonderful progress in all virtues, she was finally summoned to renounce the faith before a Saracen judge. But since she remained steadfast, she was first beaten very cruelly and then thrown into a bath of boiling pitch, where she remained in praise of God for three hours and then flew to heaven on October...
