He is patron of alcoholics, booksellers, dying people, firefighters, heart patients, hospitals.

He was a shepherd in the Castile region of Spain. He led a wild and misspent youth, traveling over much of Europe and north Africa as a soldier. He suffered a brief period of insanity. Even though he had no religious conviction himself, he peddled religious books and pictures in Gibraltar. In his 40's he received a vision of the Infant Jesus who called him John of God, and had a conversion experience. He wanted to make up for the misery he caused as a soldier so he left the military and began caring for the sick, poor, homeless and unwanted. He we a friend of St. John of Avila, who's life he tried to follow. He founded the Order of Charity and the Order of Hospitallers of Saint John of God. (from CatholicSaints.info)
