Blessed Thomas Olera (1563 - 3 May 1631), born Tommaso Acerbis, was a Roman Catholic Italian who was a member of the Franciscan Capuchin order. He was beatified in 2013. ==Biography== Tommaso Acerbis was born in 1563 to a poor family and he worked as a shepherd as a young child, without ever having received schooling. He joined the Order of Friars Minor on 12 September 1580 in Verona where, at the age of 17, he finally learnt how to read and write. He made his last profession on 5 July 1584 and served in the convents of Vicenza, Verona and Rovereto until 1617. Out of those convents he visited the sick people and also helped the poor. He frequently encouraged and championed a love of the faith to those who listened to him. When Lutheranism began to take root in the area he spoke out and also wrote in defense of the Catholic Church. He chose not to confront but simply spoke on his love of 'the impassioned Christ' and the church He founded. Admired and loved by all around him, he died in 1631. 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「Thomas Olera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
