    I am thrilled to learn of this Saint !

    Since there is no where else seeming to pray online for his help right now....I'm going to do so here....

    I hereby make St (Dr) Giuseppe Moscati my special patron Saint for gaining final acceptance to Medical School & making it through the entire process of becoming a Physician.

    I also will make him a model in taking care of patients & living as a true Catholic Physician & I will ask for his help with God/ invoke his intercession in difficult situations to help patients. I so believe in how he did what he did on earth & there are too few of us now & getting fewer. Please give me strength in this quest & wisdom. Open all the needed doors & hearts, please!

    Please Doc, look upon me since I am right now poor but also upon how I have tried to help the poor & rescue others too, Please beseech the Good God to let me be a Physician also to help others like you. Thank God & Thank You Doc !!!!

    Oh Mary Conceived Without Sin, Pray for Us Who Have Recourse to You. (I have heard that Dr. Giuseppe also had a devotion to Our Lady's Immaculate Conception).

    This is a very helpful website. Just reading that article inspired me to not give up on achieving what I want to achieve.

    I learned about St Giuseppe Moscati through library research and found the DVD on his life that was released through Ignatius Press, originally a mini-series televised on Italian networks. I am once again so amazed at the blessings of being a Catholic Christian! Our huge family includes a full range of humanity, the best of which serve to light the path to God through Jesus and His Church. We would not have a medical care crisis in the U.S. if doctors were inspired by the life of St Giuseppe! Happy Feastday, St Giuseppe!

    EWTN presented a movie on the life of this "saint". It was so well done I told my friends to watch. This saint was truly remarkable and also if you goggle his name more information is available.

    St. Joseph Moscati I wish we had more doctors! just like you!!!!

    Bless you and pray for us all.

    Trying to find information on St Joseph Moscati but all I come up with is when he was beatified and canonized
