San Giovanni de Matha
Faucon (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France), 1154 - Rome, December 17, 1213
Provencal, a professor of theology at Paris, a priest at age 40, John de Matha (1154-1213) left the chair to pursue a dream that had turned out to be his true mission: to free the Christian slaves in Africa. He retired in year to meditate on the company he founded with four hermits and the Order of the Holy Trinity, from the austere rule. After obtaining the approval of Pope Innocent III, left for Morocco. They began the first purchase of slaves. The theme was so deeply felt, so that St. Peter Nolasco founded in 1218, with the same purpose, Mercy. Giovanni died in Rome - where the Pope had given the church of St. Thomas in the Formis Celio - but in the seventeenth century his body was brought to Madrid. Without his order, the literature would not have had a masterpiece among the thousands saved over the centuries, in fact, in 1580 a Trinitarian rescued by a pirate Albanian Miguel de Cervantes, the future author of Don Quixote.
