The 12th of June is the feast day of Saint Onofre, a hermit who lived for more than sixty years in a cave in the desert of Thebes, Egypt, after learning the teachings of Jesus and Christianity.
Trying to imitate the solitude and austerity of St John the Baptist, he lived on the fruits of a date tree and a palm tree that grew near the cave where he slept and lived.
He was very popular in the Middle Ages, first with monks and then with weavers in general, because he was depicted “dressed only with his abundant hair and a loincloth”. He died around 400 AD and was buried by Saint Panafcio, another hermit who found him and kept him.
St. Onofre told him that God had sent him to bury him as his death was near, which soon happened, and he dug a hole in the mountainside and laid him there.
Later, he tried to stay in the cave to live in imitation of Saint Onofre, but the date palm that fed him withered and dried up, so he decided to go to the monastery and spread the wonderful life of Saint Onofre.

Pray to San Onofre to get a job in 3 days
Dear San Onofre, I come to you today with a heart full of regret for the past and fear for my future. I have no job and my financial resources are in great trouble. I have made many mistakes. Help me to forgive myself and others so that I can make amends to all concerned.
Give me peace of mind so that I can fill my life with Your goodness and grace. Guide me to a good job where I can fulfil my needs as a better and wiser person. Thank you, glorious saint, for listening to me and helping me today.
For being the one to bring my petition and my needs to Our Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered and died the torment of the Passion for our sake (See: What Jesus Christ died for).
Life is not always easy, but I will try to remember that You are always there to help me, for You are right at this time. I would like you to grant this request within three days so that I can help my family in this time of need.
If it is Your will that I wait longer, let the
worries leave me and I can use this time to grow closer to You and to God.
Let me realise that there are other ways to achieve your kingdom on earth besides paid work, help me to make use of them for the time being so that I can continue to grow as a person for your greater glory. Amen.
