Feast day: May 23
St. John Baptist de Rossi
A Roman priest who, despite his own fragile health, gave himself to the most neglected of the city — herdsmen, prisoners, the homeless, and the dying poor.
He turned a hostel for the homeless into a center of mercy and spent his nights in the confessional for cab drivers, laborers, and outcasts.
