Oil Dedicated to St Albinus (Patron for Sick Children)

Patron of Sick Children, Protector of the Vulnerable, and Advocate for the Poor

St. Albinus of Angers, a 6th-century bishop from France, is remembered as a gentle and compassionate shepherd who cared deeply for the weak and vulnerable of his flock. Born into nobility, Albinus chose the path of humility and service, leaving behind wealth and comfort to follow Christ. His life was marked by deep prayer, bold leadership, and tender care for those in need.

As Bishop of Angers, St. Albinus became known for his courageous defense of the poor, widows, and orphans. He was particularly attentive to the suffering of sick children, for whom he interceded with great love and compassion. Many stories tell of his prayers bringing comfort and healing to little ones who were ill and suffering, as well as his tireless efforts to defend the most vulnerable members of his community.

St. Albinus also worked tirelessly for the release of unjustly imprisoned people and spoke out against societal injustices, reflecting his deep understanding of the Gospel’s call to mercy and justice. He spent countless hours in prayer, trusting God’s grace to work miracles where human strength could not.

Today, St. Albinus is honored as a patron for sick children, a heavenly protector whose prayers bring comfort to families facing the heartbreak of illness in their little ones. His life reminds us that in every child’s suffering, Christ Himself is present, and that the prayers of the Church surround the sick with hope and love.

Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to St. Albinus is prayerfully prepared in honor of his gentle, fatherly heart and powerful intercession. Each bottle comes with a prayer card seeking his prayers—for the healing of sick children, for strength for their families, and for the grace to care for the vulnerable with compassion and courage.

Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love. Offers spiritual encouragement and a tangible reminder that we are not alone in our suffering. Through the prayers of the saints, God’s comfort and mercy reach even the smallest and most fragile among us.
