Today is the feast day of St. Pacificus of San Severino (1653-1721), who was canonised in 1839.
Have you ever heard of him? I haven't.
He went deaf and blind at a relatively young age but still held a position of authority in a monastery and worked miracles.
I suppose his reputation suffers from the fact that there are so many Italian saints.
Anyway, I really like that there are lots of days in the year when the saint of the day is pretty obscure, and there are no special feasts.
