Fr. Padillo



Fr. Padillo in 1962 braving the streets amid sniper fire, to offer last rites to the dying, the priest encountered a wounded soldier, who pulled himself up by clinging to the priest's cassock, as bullets chewed up the concrete around them. Despite the ongoing sniper fire, Fr. Padillo continued to walk among the dying giving Last Rites.

Prayer

O Lord Jesus Christ, who by subjecting Thyself to Mary and Joseph didst consecrate family life with wonderful virtues: grant that by their joint assistance we may fashion our lives after the example of Thy Holy Family, and obtain everlasting fellowship with it.
