Blessed Nunzio Suffered Much
In Short Life Of Holiness
VATICAN CITY (NC) --
Blessed Nunzio Sulprizio lived
19 years and five days.
In that brief span he had en
ough suffering for a life for
times as long. But within that
same brief span Blessed Nunzio
iachievedl a height of holiness
his elders envied. The Ch
urch is to beatify him Dec. 8.
Born into poverty, he was or
phaned before the age of six.
He fell into the hands of a hear
tless uncle who underfed him
and overworked him, even when
an injury made him a cripple in
constant pain. From this in
jury, which grew worse with the
years. Blessed Nunzio was to
die.
AGAINST the mean figure of
Ble.sed Nunzio’s uncle stands
the Christian figure of a pro
fessional soldier, an absolute
stranger, who took the boy into
ISTANBUL, Turkey (RNS)—
Apostolos Andreas, the official
weekly news organ hereof Ecu
menical Patriarch Athenagor-
as, supreme leader of Eastern
Orthodoxy, published a letter
from Pope Paul VI to the pa
triarch.
Dated Sept. 20, 1963, the
pontiff’s communication was in
reply to a letter from Patri
arch Athenagoras, which con-
VAT1CAN CITY (RNS)—The •
prelate-rector of a Roman Ca
tholic institute in France, In
making a call for ecumenism
before the Second Vatican Coun
cil, stressed many practices
within the Church, which,
he said, barred die way to
Christian unity.
Archbishop Emil A. Blanchet,
rector of the Catholic Institute
of Paris, cited *'experiences of
recent years" at the Abbey of
Duran, where ecumenical ex
changes "have provided an op
portunity to see what outsiders
like and dislike about the
Church."
SIX OF THE priests at the
monastery, the French prelate
said, are converts to Catholl-
his home and treated him as his
son.
It was this man, Col. Felice
Wochinger of the First Grena
diers of the Royal Guard in
Naples, who brought the holi
ness of his young protege to the
attention of Church authorities.
He later had the happiness of
seeing the cause of beatification
introduced in Rome.
Blessed Nunzio was born on
April 30, 1817, at the village of
Pesco Sansonesco, northwest of
Rome. His father was a shoe
maker, and his mother was a
wool spinner.
BLESSED Nunzio was con
firmed when he was three years
old, but he was not to receive
his first Communion until
he was more than 15.
Blessed Nunzio’s father died
gratulated him upon his elec
don as Pope. Pope Paul urg
ed that the past be left "to the
mercy of God" and stressed
the unity of Christians.
OBSERVERS OF the Ortho
dox Church said that it mark
ed the first time that an organ
of the Patriarch had published,
with a picture of the Pope, the
text of a communlcadon from
the Holy See,
clsm. He noted that theologians
from the Protestant faculty of
the University of Tuebingen fre-
quendy visit the abbey to par
ticipate in retreats,
'X)ne of their major com
plaints," said Archbishop
Blanchet, "Is what we might
call contorted and acrobadc
theology — such as the vol
ume, printed with ecclesiasti
cal approbation, arguing for
the Immaculate conception of
St, Joseph and his assumption
Into Heaven,"
4 SUCH THEOLOGY," the 77-
year-old prelate told the Fa
thers of the Council, "does not
reflect the doctrine of Sacred
Scripture and Tradition.
in 1820 at the age of 26. In
1822 Blessed Nunzio's mother
remarried. Her second husband
was from the town of Corvara,
where the family went to live.
Blessed Nunizo, now five, be
gan going to a school taught-
by the parish priest. But his
mother died within a year of her
second marriage.
Blessed Nunizo's stepfather,
who treated the child harshly
and even gave him too little
food, sent him back to Pesco
Sansonesco where he lived with
his mother's mother. For three
years the child lived happily
with his loving grandmother,
but on her death he was sent to
his maternal uncle, Domenico
Luciano.
THIS UNCLE, a blacksmith,

Pope Paul's letter was writ
ten in French. The full text
follows:
'To His Holines s Patriarch
Athenagoras 1,
Archbishop of Constantinople
and
"Ecumenical Patriarch:
"We have received with Joy
the good wishes and congratu
lations which you have sent us
through His Excellency Metro
politan Maxlmos of Sardia In
reply to the letter written in
our name by Augustin Cardinal
Bea at the time of our elec
tion,
"We would like to tell you
that the sentiments expressed
in your letter have found in our
heart a profound resonance. The
charge which the Lord has con
fided to us as chief of the Apos
tles makes us concerned about
everything which touches the
union of Christians and about
everything which can contribute
to reestablishing a perfect har
mony among them.
"LEAVING THE past to the
mercy of God, let us listen to
the counsel of the Apostle: 'For
getting all which is behind, 1
bend myself wholly to that which
is before, endeavoring to grasp
it as I have been possessed
by it,' by the gift of the Gospel
of salvation, by the gift of the
same baptism, of the same
priesthood, celebrating the
same Eucharist, the single sac
rifice of the single Lord of the
Church.
bits or irreligion. But the way
he mistreated the boy speaks
for itself: He fed him ill and
clothed him ill. He took him
from school and put him to
work in the smithy. He swore at
Blessed Nunzio and so terrori
zed him that the child would tr
emble and blanch at seeing him.
He forced him, barefoot and po
orly clothed to carry great lo
ads of iron to farms high in
the mountains through snow and
rain, i He punished him by depri
ving him of his meals, and put
him to work in the smithy while
weak from hunger.
Blessed Nunzio never repro
ached his uncle nor even spoke
111 of him to others. To please
his uncle, he made his visits
to church less frequent. But
nothing tempered his uncle's
harsh treatment.
ONE DAY at the forge a hot
coal fell on the boy's foot.
Decay of the bone set it in,
but the boy was forced to treat
the injury himself. His uncle
told him that oil and bandages
were all die medical treatment
he needed.
Since the child could not work
the bellows with his injured left
foot, he was forced to put all
his weight upon it while he wor
ked die bellows with his right.
In 1830, when it became evi
dent that the injury was growing
worse, the uncle sent the 13-
year-old boy to a public hospi
tal at Aqulla. But the In
jury was too far gone, and af
ter a few months the doctors
sent him home as incurable.
THE UNCLE treated him ev
en worse than before, striking
him to the ground and forcing
him to beg for his food.
The boy's plight did not go un
noticed. A man named Galante
went to Naples and Informed
Blessed Nunzio's paternal un
cle, Francesco Sulprizio.
Francesco, and army corpo
ral, sought outCol.JVochinger
to help the boy.
The Colonel, a bachelor who
was then 60, was well known
for his Christian life: He told
his subordinates that no beggar
was to be turned away from hs
door. He visited prisoners In
Naples jails and the sick in the
city's hospitals, especially the
Hospital for Incurables.
COL. WOCHINGER took
Blessed Nunzio to the home of
a sister, but by dlls time the
boy was suffering convulsions.
Shortly after, the cononel took
him to the Hospital for Incur
ables and promised to visit him
often.

* 'Similarly, they (non-Catho-
lics) dislike excessive scho
lasticism In our theology, which
Is often lacking in the Biblical

That they be one, I in them and

Blanchet said, "they object to

particularly true In the field
of Marian devotions, such as
the Rosary of the Tears of
Mary,

Blessed Nunzio stayed in the
hospital 22 months. While
there, he attracted tha atten
tion of the chaplains and phys
icians for his selflessness, re
signation and spirit-of prayer.
It was in die hospital that he
received his first Communion.
The doctors finally told Col.
Wochinger they could do no
more for the boy.
TWO DAYS before Blessed
Nunzio's 17th birthday, CoL
Wolchinger brought him to his
own apartment. The boy slept
in the Colonel's own room,
where the colonel could give
him immediate help when he ne
eded it. The colonel also put a
servant at Blessed Nunzio's
disposal, with orders to look
after him, He stayed in the col
onel's home until his death—
except for some time on the Isle
of Ischia near the northwest
entrance to the Bay of Naples.
Inexorably, the illness took
firmer hold on the youth. In
November, 1835, he developed
dropsy. The fame of his holi
ness spread, and priests, Re
ligious and lay people came to
hia bedside to ask his prayers.
ON MAY 5, 1836, Blessed
Nunzio asked for the Last Sa
craments. The chaplain of the
palace, Don Vincenzo Gallo,
was brought. After receiv
ing the Sacraments, Blessed
Nunzio asked for a crucifix.
He clutched the crucifix and ga
zed at a statue of the Blessed
Virgin. His last words were:
"See how beautiful she is."
