[BERNARDINE, Saint].
Examples of San Bernardino. Chosen by Ada Harrison, illustrated by Robert Austin.
London, Gerald Howe, 1926,
Bernardine became a priest in 1404 but did not begin his renowned preaching tours through Italy until 1417. Appalled by the breakdown in morals, the lawlessness, and the civil strife that resulted from the Great Western Schism, he strove to restore morals by inculcating a deep personal love of Jesus Christ.
