Feast Day: May 20
Patron of Advertisers
Saint Bernardine was born in 1380 in Siena, Italy.
He joined the Franciscans in 1402 and was ordained two years later. His voice
was very weak because of an illness. Through the prayers of Our Mother Mary, he
was healed and began preaching.
When preaching, Saint Bernardine would often hold up a card
with the name of Jesus. He urged people to turn to Our Lord and accept His
grace. Saint Bernardine preached for the rest of his life and died in 1444.
Saint Bernardine was canonized a saint in 1450. He is the patron
of advertisers because he was very gifted at persuading people to love God and
do good.
Prayer to
Saint Bernardine of Siena
for Advertisers
Saint Bernardine, through your preaching, thousands of
people returned to God. Help all people who work as advertisers to be wise and
good. Dear God, through the prayers of Saint Bernadine, please help advertisers
to use their skills for Your glory and the good of others. Help all of us to be
Your witnesses in all we do and say. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Saint Bernardine
of Siena, pray for us.
