Today is the feast day of Blessed Damian of Fulcheri, OP also known as Blessed Damian of Finaro.
Damian was born in Finaro, Italy in the 1400's. When he was a baby, Damian was kidnapped. Frantic, Damian's parents sought the intercession of our Blessed Mother. Those searching for the missing baby saw a light which caught their attention. Upon further investigation of this light, they discovered the kidnapped baby. The baby was brought back to his parents. They rejoiced at the wonderful site of their baby. Many talked for days about the miraculous light. When he was older, Damian became a well known Domincan preacher.
I think Blessed Damian would make a good patron saint of kidnapped children.
