The holy Bishop St Gregory of Tours relates that Desideratus was distinguished by his holiness and that he had seen him in the Monastery of Gourdon, where he restored many sick people to health through his prayers, especially those suffering from toothache.

Details of his life as a Hermit are not known but he was venerated in the Monastery of Mont-Saint-Vincent in Burgundy and in the entire region.

In an old record of the Church of Chalon, printed in Lyon in 1520, one finds the Feast of the holy Priest Hermit, St Desideratus celebrated on 30 April.

Prayer to Our Mother
of Perpetual Succour,
When In Urgent Need

By St Alphonsus’ Redemptorists

O Mother of Perpetual Succour,
numerous clients continually surround thy Holy picture,
all imploring thy mercy.
All bless thee as the assured help of the miserable,
all feel the benefit of thy motherly protection.
With confidence then, do we present ourselves before thee in our misery.
See, dear Mother, the many evils to which we are exposed,
see how numerous are our wants.
Trials and sorrows often depress us,
reverses of fortune and privations,
often grievous, bring misery into our lives,
everywhere we meet the Cross.
Have pity, compassionate Mother,
on us and on our dear ones,
especially in this our necessity
…………… (mention your need).
Help us, dear Mother in our distress,
deliver us from all our ills,
or, if it be the Will of God,
that we should suffer still longer,
grant that we may endure all,
with love and patience.
These Grace’s we expect of thee with confidence,
because thou art our Perpetual Succour,
amen.

St Crescens (Died c100) Bishop of Galatia, Martyr, Apostle of St Paul. Crescens is traditionally considered one of the 72 disciples sent out by Jesus in Luke 10. He was a missionary in Galatia and became a companion to and a disciple of St Paul. The name ‘Crescens’ means ‘increasing.’

Returning to the people for whom especially, he had been Consecrated Bishop, he maintained, to the end of his life, the Galatians in the service of the Lord and finally, consumated his Martyrdom under Trajan.
