Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Pius X In the little village of Riese in the Venetian plains was born on the 2nd of June, 1835, a child who was destined to leave his mark on the world´s history. Giuseppe Melchior Sarto was the eldest of the eight surviving children of Giovanni Battista Sarto, the postmaster of Riese, and his wife Margherita. They were poor people, and it was difficult sometimes to make both ends meet. The daily fare was hard and scanty, and the future Pope was clothed, as an Italian biographer picturesquely puts it, "as God willed." But both Giovanni Battista and his wife Margherita came of a hard-working, God-fearing stock, who could endure manfully and suffer patiently, and who taught their children to do the same. There might have been a worse preparation for an apostolic life. The little Bepi was remarkable both for his intelligence and for his restless activity. The village schoolmaster, who at once singled him out as a pupil worth cultivating, was, we are told, not infrequently obliged to use means more persuasive than agreeable to calm his vivacity. Indeed, the seraphic element in Bepi seems to have been considerably leavened by that of the healthy boy.
