Blessed Domenico Lentini (20 November 1770 – 25 February 1828) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest Pope John Paul II beatified Lentini in 1997 and his cause for sainthood still continues. A presumed second miracle attributed to his intercession is now under investigation for his potential canonization. ==Life== Domenico Lentini was born on 20 November 1770 in Lauria as the fifth of five children. At the age of fourteen he felt a call to become a priest and he commenced his studies after this in Salerno. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1794 and was assigned to work as a parish priest in his hometown. He was devoted to the Eucharist and gained a reputation as a noted homilist as well as his extensive pastoral work with the poor. He turned his home into a school where he taught theological studies and catechism to parishioners as well as other subjects such as literature. He died at the beginning of 1828 with a reputation for saintliness. This led to calls for official recognition of sainthood. 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「Domenico Lentini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
