context_page_description: Enrico Rebuschini was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and professed member from the Camillians. Rebuschini was marked since his childhood as one who had an innate desire to tend to the poor and marginalized and felt the need to hand out his possessions to those less fortunate than himself. But his father opposed his vocation to the priesthood and directed him to studies which he threw himself into in obedience to him. But he felt dissatisfied upon working with his brother-in-law in the silk business and made a final plea to his father to become a priest. His father relented and he commenced his ecclesial studies though in his life afterwards experienced several profound episodes of nervous depression that caused him to grow ill each time.
  Rebuschini died in the odor of holiness and had been renowned after his death as a saint which had led to calls for the launch of a beatification process. The cause did indeed open sometime later and culminated in 1997 with his beatification.
context_section_description: In summer 1884 he had long discussions with his father with Luigi Guanella mediating in which his father at last relented and allowed him to enter the priesthood.
  He then set himself on his ecclesial studies and was later sent to the Pontifical Gregorian in Rome to pursue ecclesiastical studies in 1884. In late 1885 his parents and aunt Magdalena came to Rome for a visit and saw him peace and calm. His aunt noted: "Enrico is content and at peace". But in March 1886 he was so overcome with nervous depression and became ill to the point that he had to return home in order to recover. But once he recovered in May 1887 (after spending a brief stint in a clinic) he resumed his studies and set on embarking on a life of rigorous asceticism after reexamining his call to the priesthood.
  Rebuschini later entered the Camillians on 27 September 1887 and commenced his period of the novitiate in Verona prior to receiving his ordination as a priest on 14 April 1889 from the Bishop of Mantua Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto – the future Pope Pius X. He made his perpetual profession on 8 December 1891. From 1889 to 1899 he ministered to the sick in Verona and worked there as a hospital chaplain from 1891 to 1899 before serving in the same position though in Cremona from 1899 onwards. From 21 December 1903 until his death he ministered in a clinic and nursing home. From 1890 to 1891 he suffered another bout of depression and again in 1895 after being appointed as a professor and vice-novice master. From 1903 until 1937 he served as the administrator for the new San Camillo Clinic and for a decade from 12 March 1912 to 1922 served as the superior of his house. He suffered his final depression for a few months in 1922.
