PADRE NA MWANZILISHI WA SHIRIKA
( 19 OKTOBA )
Paulo alizaliwa Ovada (Italia) mwaka 1694. Alipokuwa kijana alimsaidia baba yake, ambaye alikuwa mfanya biashara. Baadaye, alikuwa mwanajeshi kwa muda, lakini alipata wito, akaachana na mali yake, akawahudumia fukara na wagonjwa. Maisha yake yote alikuwa akijaribu kumfuata Yesu Kristo Msulibiwa katika mateso. Mwaka 1720, Mungu alimwonyesha kwamba kazi yake ni kuanzisha Shirika la Mapadre wanaohubiri popote juu ya Yesu aliyeteswa.
Basi, mwaka 1727 Paulo, pamoja na mdogo wake, alipadirishwa Roma, akaanzisha nyumba ya kwanza ya Mapadre wa Mateso (Passionists), baadaye, akajengesha nyumba kadhaa kwa ajili ya Shirika lake. Tena, Shirika la Masista lilianzishwa pia. Padre Paulo alijishughulisha sana kutengeneza mashirika haya mawili, na daima aliwatunza na kuwasaidia maskini na wagonjwa. Alijitoa mhanga kufanya kazi za utume, akaishi maisha ya kujinyima kabisa anasa. Alifia Roma tarehe 18 Oktoba, mwaka 1775, akatajwa Mtakatifu mwaka 1867.
