Franciscan preacher, known as the “Apostle of Italy” and of “the Holy Name of Jesus”. He devised the Greek symbol, IHS, for the name of Jesus. In his youth, he cared for the plague-stricken patients of Siena. In 1404, he was ordained a priest and 12 years later started preaching. His sermons attracted thousands to conversion. Pray for us St. Bernardine, that we may always choose to speak Jesus’ name with reverence and choose words of love over words of shame.{website} -- source link
