The Blesseds Carlos, Jesús, Fidel, Marianists ![]() Emilio Ortega, SM. Translated by Thomas A. Thompson, SM. 221 pp. $8.00. No charge to members of the SM or FMI Click on Image to Order Foreward: Don Carlos Erańa was a man of peace and conciliation. As superior, he was always attentive to the spiritual and temporal welfare of the brothers. “He is undoubtedly the religious of the province who best understands the soul of a small child of primary years and is best prepared to direct his teaching,” says the report of a superior. The first Relator of his cause for beatification, a Carmelite, admired Don Carlos. “This man,” he said, “has no defects. He could be canonized in the ordinary way.” Don Jesús Hita was a good teacher. An introspective individual, he may have felt that his life lacked completion. Yet, when someone suggested the possibility of weakening in the last moment, he insisted, “God gives the grace to resist.” With Blessed Juan Pedro de San Antonio, CP, a companion in those final days as he prepared for martyrdom, he died shouting, “Long live Christ the King!” Don Fidel Fuidio was the wise man with the childlike heart. As an archeologist, he discovered prehistoric and Roman settlements in Spain and published scientific studies. As a teacher, he communicated the enthusiasm he felt for the subject. His biography was appropriately titled Sympathy in Education. He is a model for the hope and enthusiasm which should characterize educators of youth. Click here to view Table of Contents
