Assigned as a parish priest, Donizetti lived what he preached, choosing a humble lifestyle while he spoke out to defend the rights of the poor. Over the years miracles of healing and other events began happening around him so that his fame spread as a miracle worker. Ever humble in the face of his growing fame, Donizetti always downplayed his own role in the miracles and simply gave thanks for the conversion of hearts. 

Blessed Donizetti Tavares de Lima 1882 - 1961. Feast day: June 16.
