St Andrew Avellino (1521–1608), once a Neapolitan lawyer, repented a single lie and vowed never again to follow his own will but to advance daily in holiness. Joining the Theatines in 1556, he became novice master, counsellor to St Charles Borromeo, and model of priestly perseverance. Struck by apoplexy while beginning Mass, he died at the altar. Canonised in 1712, he is patron against sudden death and exemplar of steadfast sanctity. https://nuntiatoria.org/
