Camilo de Léllis was born in 1550 May 25, in Bucchianico, Italy. His mother died when he was thirteen, and his father, a military man, was almost always absent. Due to bad companies, he had lost all his assets by gambling. Afterward, he made his enrollment in the Army. However, an ulcer damned severely his right foot and leg and so he left the Army and joined the Franciscan Order. In a hospital in Rome, he knew his wound had no cure. He started to help other patients as a volunteer. In 1584, he was ordered a priest and constituted a brotherhood to take care of patients. He died in 1614 and was canonized as patron of the patients in 1746. Currently, the brotherhood he founded exists in35 countries including Brazil.
