Today's saint is a patron against civil disorder and against riots. In times like these, when there is chaos and disorder in so many of our countries I think we should pray fervently to Saint Andrew Corsini. Saint Andrew was born in Florence, Italy in 1302 and became a Carmelite in Florence. He studied in Paris and Avignon. He became bishop of Fiesole, Italy on October 13, 1349. He had the gift of prophecy and miracles and he was a peacemaker between quarreling Italian houses. He died on January 6, 1374 in Fiesole and his relics are in Florence. He was canonized on April 29, 1629 by Pope Urban VIII.
