Albertino Maria Maisonade
Cistercian monk of Casamari, martyr
Who they were
Born at Bordeaux, he left France when the Revolution broke out and made his simple profession at Casamari on 20 November 1793; he was an example of communion and prayer, and when the soldiers came he withdrew to the chapel of the infirmary and was killed after weeping at the sight of the Blessed Sacrament thrown down. Pope Francis beatified him with Simeone Maria Cardon and his five companions on 17 April 2021.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The decree on martyrdom records that he was killed beside the Blessed Sacrament he had gone to guard.
