Biography

He was born in Valencia, Spain. He was a great preacher who moved people and achieved their conversion. Before preaching, he dedicated three to five hours to praying. He fearlessly criticized bad habits. It is said that the saint gave a small bottle of holy water to women who had problems with their husbands and recommended: “When your husband starts insulting you, take the water and do not pass it to him until the other stops offending you.” Practical and effective advice.
