4 June – St. Francis Caracciolo
Priest, Founder & Mystic
Born Ascanio Caracciolo in 1563 in Villa Santa Maria, Italy, to a noble family. Stricken with a severe illness as a young man, he vowed to serve God if healed. Ordained a priest, he co-founded the Order of Clerics Regular Minor (Adorno Fathers) in 1588, dedicated to Eucharistic adoration, strict poverty, and pastoral care. Known for his deep contemplative prayer, love of the poor, and frequent fasting, he served as superior general and established several houses. He died on 4 June 1608 at age 44 while on a journey, after receiving Viaticum. Canonized by Pope Pius VII in 1807.
“The Eucharist is the secret of my day.”
A nobleman who embraced radical humility and Eucharistic love — showing that true greatness lies in silent adoration and selfless service to the Church.
Lord Jesus, through the intercession of St. Francis Caracciolo, grant us a burning love for the Most Blessed Sacrament, humility in service, and zeal for prayer and charity in our daily lives.
