Saint Pacificus of San Severino O.F.M. (†1721) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest known for being a miracle-worker. He was raised by his uncle Luzizio Bruni, archdeacon of the Cathedral of San Severino, a good and cultured man, but far too strict to care for a small child. In 1670 he took the Franciscan habit in the Order of the Reformati at Forano in the March of Ancona, taking the name "Pacificus". Suffering lameness and deafness in addition to blindness he was unable to continue giving missions and then cultivated the contemplative life. Despite chronic ill health, he moved between the monasteries of San Severino and Forano, holding responsible positions in both places. From 1692 to 1693, he held the post of Guardian in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in San Severino, where he later died on 24 September 1721. Crowds turned out for his funeral and miracles were soon reported at his grave. In 1725 his mortal remains were placed in the abbey church. He was beatified on 4 August 1786, and canonized as a saint in 1839. He is considered the patron saint of those with chronic pain. His feast day is celebrated on 24 September.
