St Bernard of Corleone was born on the island of Sicily in the year 1605. His father was a shoemaker and taught his son the ways of the trade. But it was difficult for the lively youth to interest himself in this work. Upon the death of his father, he immediately left the shop and, led by the love of adventure, he took up fencing. It was not long before he became quite adept at wielding the sword. His unusual corporal vigor qualified him to challenge any comer to a contest.

In the following video, Fr. Ignatius preaches on St. Bernard of Corleone who was a shoemaker who then became an adventurer with a love for dueling and led a disordered life. Then after mortally wounding a man, and through his remaining devotions that he had held onto, he gained the grace of conversion and became a very holy Capuchin friar. He died in 1667.
Ave Maria!
