April 16 is the Saint's feast day..
I'll bet you St. Benedict Joseph is the Pope's secret patron. Happy birthday Holy Father.

I painted the icon (shown) around 1983. The original is in a house of Franciscan Friars in Boston, and Fr. Benedict Joseph Groeschl told me he placed a copy I gave him in his cell.

St. Benedict Joseph, pray for us.
