St. Philip Benizi
August 23 is the Feast of St. Philip Benizi,
a Servite Priest, Cardinal, Prior General,
and considered a “Father of the Order”. St
Philip was born Aug 15, 1233 in Florence,
Italy of wealthy parents. He had degrees
in medicine and theology. He became a Servite and is
credited with saving the order from suppression. He is
credited with calling Mary Our Lady of Divine Provi-
dence since two baskets of bread were found by the mon-
astery door at a time when the priests had nothing to eat.
Our Secular Order will distribute bread the weekend of
Aug. 24/25 to celebrate this Servite tradition.
