Commentary: Quoth the bulletin:

Just before his death, he begged the favor of their prayers. "Do not ever forget these tree things: devotion to the Blessed sacrament; devotion to Mary, Help of Christians; & devotion to the Holy Father."

Yesterday we remembered Saint Hyacintha of Mariscotti, T.O.R. (1585-1640): Saint-link Unus, Saint-link Duo, & Wikipedia-link.
