Blessed Mariano Arciero (26 February 1707 – 16 February 1788) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who exercised his functions as a priest in Naples. He was a pastor and a theologian and was given the moniker "Apostle of Calabria". He was beatified in 2012 after the recognition of a healing as a miracle that was attributed to his intercession. ==Life== Mariano Arciero was born in Terme in 1707. The village priest - Emanuele Parisio - took him under his personal care for educational purposes. At the age of 22 he moved from his home to Naples where he attended a Eucharistic Congregation that the Jesuit Francesco Pavone established. At a Jesuit college he enrolled in he did his philosophical studies and also studied literature. Meanwhile, Parisio took charge of his theological studies which allowed for him to be ordained to the priesthood on 22 December 1731. As a parish priest he soon became a model for fellow priests: he was active in all charitable acts and visited hospitals and other places to be with his people for his pastoral mission. The canon - Gennaro Fortunato - became bishop of Cassano in 1729 and desired that Arciero be in his diocese. Arciero devoted himself to the education of children and was known for astonishing conversions. To that end he was granted the moniker "Apostle of Calabria". After the death of Fortunato in 1751 he returned to Naples. In 1768 he was named as the spiritual director of a diocesan congregation for the supervision of priests. He was named the director at the direction of Cardinal Antonio Sersale. Arciero died on 16 February 1788 at 4:00pm. After his death Mary Frances of the Five Wounds - future saint - saw the angels guide his soul to Heaven. His body lay in state for three days in order to accommodate the stream of Neapolitans who came to pay their respects to him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mariano Arciero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
