Italian: Gerolamo Terzo di Gesù Maria
JEROME (III) of Gesù Maria, Venerable. - Carmelite, b. in Noto (Sicily) on 17 May 1683, d. 11 April 1758.
From 1707 he lived as a hermit in the vicinity of Noto, in a cramped cave, where he led a life of prayer, contemplation and penance. Having become in 1710 superior of the other hermits of S. Maria della Scala, he introduced there an observance so austere that in a short time the hermitage of the Scala became an example and norm for all the others, which were reformed by him. In 1741, together with the other hermits, he ceded the convent of the Scala to the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance and introduced there, with the help of Fr. Statella, the reform of that Order; he himself donned the Carmelite habit as a lay brother on 6 October 1741, taking the name of Fra' G. of Gesù Maria and Giuseppe, and with him all the other hermits of the Scala. Endowed by God with supernatural gifts, especially the healing of the sick, rapture and ecstasy, he died in the convent of the Scala. The process for his beatification was introduced by decree of 23 February 1782.
