Description
Experience the powerful life and legacy of Blessed Angelus of Acri, a humble Capuchin friar and missionary from Calabria, whose fiery sermons and miracles inspired thousands in 18th-century Italy.
In this episode from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we learn how Angelus of Acri—after three failed attempts at religious life—persevered through prayer, temptation, and hardship to become one of the most beloved preachers of his time.
His simple yet profound sermons touched hearts across southern Italy, drawing comparisons to St. Leonard of Port Maurice in the north. Miracles, healings, and even prophecies marked his ministry, revealing the deep holiness of this servant of God.
Listen to how his obedience, humility, and unwavering faith made him a model of perseverance and devotion. His story reminds us that even through failure, God’s grace can transform weakness into sanctity.
