Dec. 14, Bl. Conrad of Offida, Confessor of the first Order.
Blessed Conrad was born in 1241. At the age of fifteen, he entered the Order of St. Francis. He began his theological studies with success, then gave them up with great humility to devote himself to menial work at the monastery. His assiduity at prayer and in contemplation, his constant mortification of his body, and his great zeal for regular observance, won him the favour of frequent visions of the Mother of God, the angels, and the saints. Even the companions of the Seraphic Patriarch considered him another Francis. Later, his superiors raised him to the priesthood. He died in 1306. Pius VI sanctioned his cultus. – (from) The Franciscan Supplement.
