St. Lawrence Brindisi
 Lawrence was born July 22, 1559, at Brindisi, Italy, as Julius Caesar Rossi. He felt an early call to religious life, and was educated by the Friars Minor Conventuals of Brindisi. He joined the Capuchin Friars in 1575 at age 16, taking the name Brother Lorenzo. He then studied theology, the Bible, French, German, Greek, Spanish, Syriac, and Hebrew at the University of Padua.
As chaplain of the army of the Holy Roman Empire in 1601, he rallied the German princes to fight a superior Turkish force, and was asked to lead the army into battle at Stuhlweissenburg (modern Albe-Royal) carrying no weapon but a crucifix; the Turks were completely defeated. In 1605 he was assigned to evangelize in Germany, where he had great success. Serious illness took his life in Lisbon in 1619.
In 1956, the Capuchin Order compiled fifteen volumes of his sermons, letters and writings. He was proclaimed Apostolic Doctor of the Church by Pope John XXIII in 1959. His Feast Day is July 21.
