Italian original Cite

THEOPHILUS DE ANGELIS, Blessed. - Celestine monk, abbot of the hermitage of S. Spirito della Maiella, b. in Naples on 2 Oct. 1592, d. on 18 Feb. 1663.

At the age of 18 (15 May 1611) he entered the Celestines in Naples and, having received the priesthood on 18 Dec. 1616, obtained permission to be assigned to the solitude of Monte Maiella to imitate there the life of the founder, St. Peter Celestine. He was most devoted to the Most Holy Trinity, a strict observer of poverty, distinguished in humility and patience, a worker of prodigies, a liberator of the possessed. With extreme repugnance he accepted the dignity of prior of Lanciano (1641) and of abbot (1642) of S. Spirito della Maiella.
