St. Andrew Corsini- Feast Day January 9
Andrew was born at the beginning of the fourteenth centu-ry in Florence and entered the Carmelite Order there. He gave the Church a wonderful example of love, apostolic zeal, prudence and love of the poor. God our Father, you reveal that those who work for peace
will be called your children. Through the prayers of St. Andrew Corsini, who excelled as a peacemaker help us
to work without ceasing for that justice which brings truth and lasting peace.
