Grimoaldo of the Purification
Blessed Grimoaldo of the Purification (May 4, 1883, Pontecorvo, Frosinone, ItalyNovember 18, 1902, Ceccano, Italy), born Ferdinando Santamaria, was a religious and clerical student of the Congregation of the Passion of Jesus Christ, who was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1995.
==Life==
Born to Peter Paul and Cecilia Santamaria on May 4, 1883, and baptised Ferdinando the following day, his parents ran a small rope-making business. They were a devoutly Christian couple and in an extraordinary occasion Grimoaldo received the sacrament of Confirmation at the unusually young age of five months.〔Mirra 1995, p. 5.〕 An altar server from a young age, Ferdinando was also a member of the church choir and the Solidality of the Immaculate Conception. A neighbour testified that on one occasion he saw Ferdinando lifted from the floor whilst in prayer.〔Mirra 1995, p. 9.〕 In 1850 members of the Passionist Congregation took possession of a monastery in the locality and Ferdinando soon became familiar with them, copying their lives of penance. His father encouraged him to continue working in the family business, but Ferdinando had become convinced that he wanted to join the Passionists. He was not yet 16 and his age prevented him from entering the monastery, whilst waiting until he was the required age Ferdinando took up lessons in Latin. He entered the novitiate of the Passionists on March 5, 1899 at the monastery of St. Mary of Pugliano taking the religious name Grimoaldo of the Purification.〔Mirra 1995, p. 17.〕
The Rule of the Passionists was severe and designed to test the novices with penances such as sleeping on straw, poverty in clothing and the wearing of a rough black tunic. Grimoaldo was especially keen to model his life on Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, a Passionist student. He made his vows as a Passionist religious on March 6, 1900.〔Mirra 1995, p. 21.〕 Grimoaldo began his studies for the priesthood at Ceccano where he found difficulty in adopting a scholastic discipline; a difficulty soon overcome. Amongst the Passionists he was known for his great holiness and charity.〔Mirra 1995, p. 24.〕 In November 1902 he was diagnosed with acute meningitis and after many trials and temptations he died on November 18, 1902. On his deathbed he prophesised the date of his own death and that of a Cardinal;”His Divine Majesty is here, he has come for me today, and I, together with him, must go to Rome for Cardinal Aloisi-Masella. I must be his companion in death.”〔Mirra 1995, p. 26.〕 The Cardinal died four days later.〔(Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church: ALOISI MASELLA, Gaetano (1826-1902) )〕
