Blessed Didacus

1

Blessed Didacus was born in Cadiz, Spain, on the 30th March 1743 and was named Joseph Francis. He was a Capuchin friar who had a gift of preaching and he journeyed through the territory of Andalusia of Spain, speaking in small towns and crowded cities. His words were able to touch the minds and hearts of young and old, rich and poor, students and professors. His work in the confessional completed the conversions his words began. Didacus was known as “The Apostle of the Holy Trinity” because of his devotion to the Trinity and the ease with which he preached about this sublime mystery. Didacus was that close to God, he spent many nights in prayer and preparing for his sermons by severe penances. Blessed Didacus died on the 24th March 1801 in Ronda, Malaga, Spain and was beatified by Pope Leo XIII in 1894.
