Let’s see today who Gaetano was and what was his path of sanctification.

Saints of the day: San Donato d’Arezzo (Bishop)
Saint Cajetan of Tien (priest)
Santa Mafalda (Queen)

Cajetan born in Vicenza in 1480 of pious parents. His mother, Maria Porta, from the first minutes of his life dedicated him to the Most Holy Theotokos, and when he grew up, gave him sound religious instruction.

For example, when Jesus was a teenager, Cajetan, growing in spirit, also benefited greatly from his research. Sent to study in Padua, he especially distinguished himself in theology and received his doctorate. However, his desire was to live in humility and in hiding, and desiring to accept religion, he went to Rome, where he devoted himself to a solitary and devoted life. Even in his election as Apostolic Protonotary, taken solely out of obedience to the Pope, his humility shone, so that, as soon as he was free, he wanted to return to his homeland again and there give himself to the service of the poor and the poor. sick.

Later, inspired by the Lord to reform the customs of both the people and the clergy, he returned to Rome and began his work there. Together with some of his ardent companions, he drew up some rules to present to the Pope.
