Maisha
Baba wa familia ya watoto kumi, mkulima, mwanasiasa, kapteni, hakimu, mwaka 1467 alifuata wito bora zaidi https://web.archive.org/web/20070929093226/https://ssl24.webland.ch/www48/lilie.asp wa kuishi kama mkaapweke mlimani ingawa huko pia alitafutwa na wengi kutoka nchi mbalimbali kwa ushauri wake. 

Akidharau kabisa malimwengu, aliacha chumba chake mara moja tu ili kupatanisha watu na hivyo kuepusha vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe nchini. 

Maarufu kwa ukali wa toba yake, ulitolewa ushahidi kwa kiapo kwamba kwa miaka 19 hakula chochote ila sakramenti ya ekaristi tu.

Sala yake
Bwana, uniondolee yale yote yanayonizuia nisifike kwako;

unijalie yale yote yanayoweza kunifikisha kwako;

ujichukulie nafsi yangu, na kujipatia kabisa mwenyeweDondoo hilo limetumiwa na Katekisimu ya Kanisa Katoliki, #226; taz. Catechism of the Catholic Church - I believe in God.
