Holy Father, while we struggle to cross this tumultuous ocean of doubt, you know how to reassure us by showing us the road to follow on the starry sky. No matter what the headwinds are, Yours is always pushing us towards our destination. In spite of the depleting food supplies, you provide us with rainwater and fish in abundance. This unforgettable journey is here to strengthen us in the certainty that you love us and you will not let us down.

AGENDA

Today we celebrate Saint Ottone Frangipane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Ottone_Frangipane

Ottone is believed to have belonged to the Frangipani family, a powerful baronial family occupying a prominent position in Rome from the 11th to the 13th century. Manoeuvring cleverly between the Empire and the Papacy, they were instrumental in the appointment of at least two popes: Honorius II and Innocent II. Around 1058, Ottone, then a knight, took part in a military action in defence of the Pope against rebel lords in the area of Frascati. He was captured and put in chains in a cell in a tower, from which he escaped after beseeching the intercession of the patron saint of the imprisoned, Saint Leonard of Limoges, who appeared to him in the night and released him from his chains. Thus miraculously set free, he went on pilgrimage to the Abbey of Cava de' Tirreni, where under the direction of the abbot Pietro he followed the Rule of St Benedict, dedicating himself to prayer and manual labour. He then went to Montevergine Abbey, where he came to know Saint William of Vercelli and developed his vocation to asceticism. In about 1117, Ottone went to Ariano Irpino. At this time the city was a place of transit for the pilgrims travelling from Naples and Benevento towards Bari to take ship for the Holy Land. Ottone dedicated himself to their help and to accommodate them founded the hospital of San Giacomo (Saint James). In 1120 he decided to enter upon the life of a hermit and withdrew into seclusion close to the church of Saint Peter, now known as San Pietro dei Reclusiis, and built a small cell where he prayed, kept vigil, did penance and fasted. He also dug out a tomb for himself, to remind himself continually that death was close. The reputation of sanctity quickly spread around him and many miraculous happenings were reported. Ottone died on 23 March 1127.
