St Nicholas was born in in Sant&#;Angelo. He was named after St Nicholas of Myra, at whose Shrine his parents prayed to have a child. Nicholas became a Monk at 18 and seven years later,
His coming into the world marked by a miracle, this great Augustinian wonderworker became the advocate of the Church Suffering; he was like a brilliant star illuminating the Church Militant so as to finally shine in glory in the Church Triumphant.
It was Saturday night in the Augustinian hermitage of Valmanente, near Pesaro, in Italy. A young priest had just retired for his well-deserved repose, when he heard a scream:
— Nicholas! Man of God, look at me!
Startled, he turned in the direction of the cry and saw a figure that he could not manage to identify. It continued to speak:
— I am the soul of Friar Peregrino de Osimo, whom you knew, and I am being tormented in Purgatory, where I have come to purify myself of my faults.
Having thus introduced himself, the blessed soul asked him to celebrate a Mass for the dead to relieve him of the flames that consumed him. Fr. Nicholas replied that he was responsible for presiding over the conventual Eucharist that week, which would prevent him from celebrating Masses for the deceased.
At that, Friar Peregrino proceeded to show him a valley close to Pesaro, filled with a multitude of souls, of both sexes and of every age
