Blessed Jacobinus de'Canepaci Carmelite lay-brother; Born near Vercelli, Piedmont, Italy, in 1438; 

Blessed Jacobinus de'Canepaci this good Carmelite lay-brother seems to have been one of those in which perfection is found by prayer, austerity and charity. Noted for his great piety and devotion to the Blessed Virgin.

The life of this good Carmelite lay-brother seems to have been one of those in which perfection is found by prayer, austerity and charity, and in which there is little to relate of striking achievements or of intercourse with the outer world, He was born of humble parents in the township of Piasca in the diocese of Vercelli, and being animated with an intense devotion to the Blessed Virgin he sought admission at Vercelli among the Carmelites of the old observance. The example of his fervour was a stimulus to all. His special work was to collect alms, begging from door to door throughout the town, and in the discharge of this humble duty he seems to have found many opportunities for consoling those in trouble or saying a word of good advice to the tempted or the fallen, Worn out with toil, austerities and infirm health, he died on his seventieth birthday in 1508. A cultus is said to have begun at his tomb shortly after his death on account of the miracles worked there, and this was approved in 1845.
