St. Benedict Joseph Labre T-Shirt

Called "the Beggar of Rome," a pilgrim recluse. He was born in Amettes, France, on March 25, 1748, the eldest of eighteen children.
Studying under his uncle, a parish priest, at Erin, France, Benedict tried to join the Trappists, Carthusians, and Cistercians
but was refused by these orders. In 1770, he made a pilgrimage to the major shrines of Europe, settling in Rome in 1774.
There he lived near the Colosseum and earned fame for his sanctity. Benedict was devoted to the Blessed Sacrament and
attended the Forty Hours devotion in the city. He died in Rome on April 16,

The day before he died, Labre collapsed on the steps of the church of Santa Maria ai Monti, blocks from the Colosseum,
and despite his protestations was charitably taken to a house behind the church at Via dei Serpenti 2.
He died there of malnutrition and exhaustion on 16 April 1783, during Holy Week,
and was buried in the Church of Santa Maria ai Monti. He was beatified in 1860, and was canonized in 1883.

Patron of the homeless, unmarried men, rejects, mental illness, mentally ill people, insanity, and beggars.
