About the holy man Brother of Radicina

Brother Bernard was from the land called Radicina. He came to our Congregation when he was about sixteen years old. In it he led a very exemplary life, spending nearly all his time in his holy prayers and other spiritual exercises. He had the special gift of speaking about the things of God. He spoke about these things with such love that anyone who heard him dissolved into tears. He took great account of using time well. This was the reason that he was never idle but always occupied himself in useful things. No one ever idle or frivolous words come from his lips. His kindness and humility were such that everyone loved him. He was so charitable towards his neighbour that it seemed as though he bore everyone within his heart. He was very zealous about the observance of the Rule and he was a great lover of holy poverty. He always fasted on Wednesday and Saturday and did all the forty days with great strictness regarding food. He persevered in this abstinence until he died.

Finally, when the Lord god wanted to reward this servant of His, he fell ill in friary at Terranova. After having received all the most holy sacraments, that soul passed over happily to its Creator. He was buried that friary.

To the praise of Jesus Christ. Amen.
