Ignatius of Laconi

Saint Ignatius was a Sardinian Capuchin monk and saint. Born into a peasant family, during a serious illness as a young man he vowed that if he recovered his health he would consecrate his life to God in the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. He did regain his health, but put off fulfilling his vow. There is some indication that his parents raised objections to his entering the Franciscans. In 1721 his life was again threatened when a horse which he was riding panicked. Ignatius called upon the assistance of Saint Francis of Assisi and renewed the vow he had previously made. This time his parents did not raise objections to his becoming a Franciscan.
