Peregrine
was born in Italy in the thirteenth century. As a child he bitterly
hated the Church and he attacked St. Philip Benizi when he came
to his town to preach. St. Philip was so sweet and loving in
his response to being assaulted that Peregrine converted and
vowed, as repentence, to never sit again. Unfortunately, after
standing for thirty years he developed foot cancer but was miraculously
cured the eve before his extremities were to be amputated, thus
his association with the malady. He was renowned for his humilty
and patience and has been dubbed a second Job. Although Peregrine
died nearly seven hundred years ago his body is still incorrupt.
Peregrine’s feast day is April 30. |
