History and Prayer of Saint Cajetan
Saint Cajetan, also known as Saint Cajetan, was an Italian Catholic priest who lived during the 16th century. Born October 1, 1480 in Vicenza, Italy and died August 7, 1547 in Naples, Italy. Saint Cajetan is known for his dedication to the poor, his church reform work, and the founding of the Theatin Order.
Saint Cajetan was born into a wealthy family and received an excellent education, studying law and the humanities. However, he felt called to the priesthood and was ordained in 1516. After his ordination he became involved in the reform movements within the Church, working to combat the corruption and abuses of power that were prevalent at the time.
In 1524, Saint Cajetan founded the Teatine Order, which emphasized simplicity and poverty in its way of life. Theatines focused on preaching and teaching, and they also provided assistance to the poor and sick. Saint Cajetan's work with the Theatines was widely respected and he was known for his humility and compassion.
Saint Cajetan is remembered on his feast, which is celebrated on August 7th. On this day, Catholics around the world honor the life and legacy of Saint Cajetan and may attend mass or pray for his intercession.
Here is a prayer to Saint Cajetan:
O glorious Saint Cajetan,
you who were once oppressed by earthly sorrows,
look at us with compassion
and intercede for us before the throne of God.
Pray that we may have strength and courage
follow in your footsteps,
dedicating ourselves to the service of the poor,
the sick and the marginalized.
Help us to live a life of simplicity and humility,
and may your example always inspire us
work for the greater glory of God.
Amen.
