Saint of the Day – 10 August – Blessed Andrea OFM (15th Century) Friar, Mystic

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Saint of the Day – 10 August – Friar of the Order of Friars Minor in Grosseto, Italy, Mystic who had received the gift of Levitation whilst in prayer. He was greatly dedicated to the Rule of St Francis.

Unknown Franciscan Friar

Andrea da Grosseto was a Franciscan Friar who lived in the 15th Century. We do not know as a matter of certainty, whether he was a layman or a Priest, although the Seraphic Biographies of Illustrious Authors list him as a layman.

He entered the Order at a very young age and was placed under the protection of Blessed Tommaso da Scarlino.
He was “a very spiritual man, fervent in both mental and vocal prayer, where he always remained motionless and with his eyes raised to Heaven.
He was rising from the earth seen several times in prayer.
He yearned only for heavenly things.”

He became a man who embodied religious observance and an example of perfect obedience.

He died, between 1497 and 1512, in the Convent of San Benedetto della Nave, located on the slopes of Mont Leoni and located in the Diocese of Grosseto.

In the Franciscan Martyrology, his Feastday is celebrated today.
