caption: BROTHER AVE MARIA (Cesare Pisano, February 24, 1900 – January 21, 1964) of the Blind Hermits of Divine Providence founded in 1899 by Don Orione. Devotional prayer card distributed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his blindness, according to his words ''A gift from all the Saints for my soul''. Born in Pogli di Ortovero, at the age of twelve he lost his sight when a playmate shot him in the face. At the age of twenty he was welcomed by Don Orione into his institutes and then into the Hermitage of Sant'Alberto da Butrio, where he grew to be known for his sanctity and where many people flocked to hear and see him. He died in the hospital in Voghera on January 21, 1964. His body now rests in a small crypt of the Hermitage and is a destination for pilgrims and devotees. He is currently venerable awaiting beatification. Italy, 20th century.
