Blessed Bernard of Offida O.F.M. († 1694 ) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. He entered the Capuchin Order at 23 years of age where he sought to acquire all the most beautiful Franciscan virtues; by competing with those friars, he considered the best. During his long life, he served as a cook, infirmarian, quaestor, gardener, and porter. Through life's many misfortunes, Bernard cultivated a spiritual outlook that transformed every occasion into prayer and spiritual opportunity. He often scourged himself as a penitential act. He was at Fermo from his profession until two decades later and settled in 1650 in Offida for the remainder of his life. He was beatified by Pope Pius VI on May 25, 1795. His feast day is celebrated on August 23.
Oval glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex praecordis (of the inner organs) relic of the Blessed Bernard of Offida. The relic is affixed to the red silk ground surrounded by gilt silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as Ex Praecordi // B. Bern. ab. O. (of the inner organs of the Blessed Bernard, Abbot of Offida). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Archbishop St. Guido Maria Conforti (†1931), Bishop of Parma, Italy (1907-1931), who himself was canonized as a Saint in 2011 by Pope John Paul II on account of his life of heroic virtue. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Monsignor Conforti in 1910.
