SAN JUAN DE CAPISTRANO (1386-1456) 23 de octubre Juan nació en Capistrano, Italia, y siendo muy joven realizó estudios de Derecho, llegando a ser no sólo un prominente abogado, sino también juez, gobernador y a los 26 años, embajador. Debido a su vida política cayó preso a raíz de una batalla y, estando en la cárcel, recon-sideró su vida y decidió hacerse franciscano. A los 30 años se unió a la orden de frailes menores bajo la tutela de san Bernar-dino de Siena, de quien aprendió teología y la devoción al Santo Nombre de Jesús. Más tarde, ambos se concentrarían en la salvación de las almas. Debido a sus habilidades diplomát-icas, Juan de Capistrano realizó encargos diplomáticos y de cuestión militar por petición del papa en relación a los pueblos vecinos que deseaban echar abajo la cristiandad. Asimismo llevó a cabo la reforma dentro de la orden franciscana e im-pulsó un cambio notable en la vida de los sacerdotes. Fue un hombre que combinó la inteligencia con la pasión por el Reino de Dios y el amor por la Iglesia, influyendo el Este de Europa mediante su predicación. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S.
