Yours in the Spirit

There is no "official " patron saint of diabetics. One might be Bl. Raffael Arnaiz Baron, an architect who entered the Trappists as a novice. But due to his diabetes (there were no insulin shots then), he had to leave. A year later he entered as an oblate (a lay member of the monastery), and died in 1938. He was beatified in 1992.

Thank you Pious.

Here’s the full story on St Josemaria and the diabetes he suffered from. And was cured of.
