John Vincent of Jesus Mary was born in B\u00e9rriz (Vizcaya \u2013 northern Spain) in 1862.<\/p>\n
Of noble and austere Basque lineage of soldiers, educated in a family full of affection, while still a boy he broke away from everything and everyone to climb Mount Carmel.<\/p>\n
His steps, one after the other, can only induce astonishment: an intelligent student and fervent novice, an ardent priest and paternal superior, a missionary in lands, then almost inaccessible, travelling on foot, in a canoe or on an oxen cart.<\/p>\n
He was a scholar of Indian languages, prolific writer, compelling journalist, globetrotting mendicant, and, most importantly, a nocturnal adorer of the Eucharist and unceasing contemplative. A man of integrity and rigorous founder of a hermitage, quick off the mark with his perennial humour, he was an authentic son of Saint Teresa of Jesus.<\/p>\n
He died at San Sebastian in 1943.<\/p>\n
The decree on his heroic virtue was promulgated on the 12th<\/sup> of January 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" John Vincent of Jesus Mary was born in B\u00e9rriz (Vizcaya \u2013 northern Spain) in 1862.
