Praying is a cardinal means for healing. It is a great source of comfort, strength and courage for those who are suffering. During times of hardship or illness, nothing is more helpful than to offer prayer and to join loved ones in assurance of these prayers. Saints, on another hand, protect us from harm, help strengthen our faith and offer spiritual guidance and healing. They are our examplars of prayer and their intervention helps devote powerful healing prayers to God on our behalf.

Saint Josemaría Escrivá was born in Barbastro, Spain, on January 9, 1902. He was ordained to the priesthood in Saragossa on March 28, 1925. By divine inspiration, he founded Opus Dei in 1928.

On April 27, 1954, Josemaría suffered a near fatal anaphylactic shock. He inexplicably survived the incident and after having suffered with diabetes for over 10 years, Josemaría was miraculously cured of the disease.

He died June 26, 1975, of natural causes and was canonized on October 6, 2002.

Saint Josemaría Escrivá is recognized today as the patron of those who suffer with diabetes. His feast day is June 26th.
