Blessed Gratia of Cattaro Biography

Blessed Gratia of Cattaro was the son of a poor fisherman where he became an Adriatic fisherman and farmer in his youth. He became a sailor. In 1468, while on a trip to Venice, Italy he heard a sermon by Blessed Simon of Camerino where he was so moved that he gave up his worldly life and became an Augustinian lay brother at the monastery of Monte Ortono near Padua, Italy.

He worked in the garden, monastery and sacristy. After 15 years, he was transferred to the monastery of San Cristoforo on Murano off the shore of Venice. He lived there the rest of his life and became famous for his gift of infused knowledge, that is, knowing things that there was no reason to suspect he had learned.

A light was said to shine over his cell and was known as a miracle worker. He had a special devotion to the Eucharist and spent his spare time in adoration.
