Day 327 -- Saint Melchor García Sampedro

Saint Melchor García Sampedro was born on April 26, 1821 in San Pedro de Arroyo, Spain. He was ordained a Dominican priest on May 29, 1847. He was a vicar apostle of Central Tonking, Viet Nam on April 15, 1853. He died on July 28, 1858 and is one of the Martyrs of Vietnam. He was canonized on June 19, 1988. Again, I wanted to pick another saint from Spain, as when I travel there next month for World Youth Day, I want all their prayers, as I know the Lord is going to do great things in my life. I also pray to all these saints to help me with the heat of Spain in August!!
