Feast day: 5 July

Italian original Cite

MICHAEL DEI SANTI, Saint. - Born at Vic (Barcelona) on 29 Sept. 1591, died at Valladolid on 10 Apr. 1625. He took the habit of the Calced Trinitarians, and shortly afterwards, on 28 Jan. 1608, he passed to the Discalced, recently instituted by the blessed G. B. della Concezione. Characteristic of him were the extraordinary transports of the love of God and the frequent ecstasies that seized him everywhere: at Mass, in the refectory, in the choir, in the pulpit and in the street.

He left a treatise, La tranquillità dell'anima, which Menéndez y Pelayo declared "stupendous" and "dense with ideas" (Italian version in Vita e scritti mistici di s. M. dei S., Isola del Liri). He was canonized by Pius IX in 1862. Feast on 10 Apr.
