BERNARD MARIA OF JESUS. - Passionist, in the world Cesare Silvestrelli, b. in Rome on 7 Nov. 1831, d. at Moricone, in Sabina, on 9 Dec. 1911. He entered the Congregation in 1854, and during his novitiate was a companion of St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows. Elected general, he governed for twenty-five years, working greatly especially for the restoration of the retreats in Europe and America. He practiced mortification in an exemplary way, and was an ideal model of a superior. Having resigned the high office, he held the exceptional title of general "ad honorem". He spent the last months of his life in the retreat of Moricone.
