Francesco Ignazio Vincenzo Peis, the second of nine brothers, is
born at Láconi in Sardegna 17 November 1701. In 1721 he puts
on the Franciscan habit and becomes a begging friar. It is said
of him that he is like the ocean that receives water from everywhere
to redistribute it through rain to all parts of the earth. He becomes
blind; he dies 11 May 1781.

11 May - ST. IGNATIUS DA LACONI, religious
|
Born of parents poor in material goods but rich in human and Christian
virtues, Francesco Ignazio grows in the spirit of the Christian
precepts. When he is twenty years old he enters the Cappuchins in
the convent of Buoncammino. After his novitiate he lives for fifteen
years in various convents until he arrives at the convent in Cagliari
where he is given the task of begging alms. He fulfills this assignment
in a spirit of complete availability, in a spirit of poverty and
attention to the most poor.
Endowed with extraordinary charisma in his lifetime, after his death
his fame as a wonder worker spread more and more as the miracles
obtained through his intercession became more numerous
