Episode 2122: St Francis di Girolamo
Saint Francis di Geronimo, also known as Saint Francis of Girolamo, was an Italian Jesuit priest and missionary. Here is a brief biography of his life:
Saint Francis di Geronimo was born on December 17, 1642, in Grottaglie, a town in southern Italy. From a young age, he exhibited a deep devotion to God and a strong desire to serve the Church. He entered the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in 1660 at the age of 18, following his religious calling.
After completing his studies and being ordained as a priest, Saint Francis was known for his exceptional preaching abilities and his dedication to spreading the Gospel. He was particularly renowned for his missions and retreats, during which he would travel throughout Italy preaching to large crowds. His preaching was characterized by its fervor, simplicity, and emphasis on repentance and conversion.
Saint Francis was especially devoted to the spiritual care of the poor and marginalized. He spent much of his ministry working among the poor neighborhoods of Naples, where he offered comfort, aid, and spiritual guidance to those in need. He was deeply committed to helping the less fortunate and advocating for social justice.
In addition to his pastoral work, Saint Francis was a prolific writer. He authored several spiritual works and letters, which reflected his profound spirituality and his dedication to the Jesuit mission.
Saint Francis di Geronimo died on December 11, 1716, in Naples, Italy. He was beatified by Pope Pius VI in 1789 and later canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2009. His feast day is celebrated on December 11th each year.
Saint Francis of Girolamo is remembered for his holiness, his tireless efforts in preaching and serving the poor, and his unwavering commitment to the Jesuit mission of promoting the Kingdom of God. He remains an inspiration to many for his exemplary life of faith, service, and devotion to God.
