The Roman Martyrology states:  "At Constantinople, the abbot Saint John, who combatted vigorously for the worship of holy images, under Leo the Isaurian." PRAYER: Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint John, not to think high-mindedly, but to grow in humility pleasing to you; that, despising what is base, she may with unbounded love diligently do whatever is right. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH Saints celebrated on the 19th of March WELCOME! SAINT JOHN OF PINNA, ABBOT  Saint John of Pinna was a 6th century saint. A Syrian by birth, but an Italian by domicile, he settled at Pinna in the Abruzzi, where he built a monastery which he governed as Abbot for forty years. He lived in the sixth century and was famous for many supernatural gifts and graces.
