Blessed Julian Of Saint Augustine

Blessed Julian of Saint Augustine, also known as Julian Martinet, was born around 1550 in Medinaceli, in the diocese of Segovia, Castile, Spain. As a young man, he worked as a tailor's apprentice, but he felt a calling to the religious life. He entered the Franciscan monastery at Medinaceli, but unfortunately, he was dismissed soon after, as it was determined he was not suited for monastic life.
