born, as indicated by its name cappuccino in Seville on May 9, 1662, being baptized in the Parish St. Stephen on 18 August with the name of Vicente Gregorio Rodriguez Medina Vicentelo Leca. Her parents were related to much of the English nobility, than I ever boasted not mentioned and if on the other hand, call the great venerable Miguel de Manara, founder of the Hospital de la Santa Caridad in Seville.
At nineteen resignation, as the firstborn, the titles of his house and fortune that might apply to become a Capuchin friar. He had by his fierce opposition to this decision, which overcame. Take the holy habit in the convent of the Capuchins in Seville on April 30, 1681 cambiándosele, as was usual in the Order, the name of Vicente Gregorio by Fray Isidoro de Sevilla. During the years of training and study performed brilliantly in the convents of Ecija, Cadiz and Granada, distinguished ever, in the words of those who knew him for his great love for the Blessed Virgin. It seems that his ordination as a priest was the last of the cities mentioned, Granada, and we know it was here where he celebrated his first Mass, on April 2, 1687.
immediately, superiors knew of his zeal for the salvation of souls, engaged in preaching, giving his first sermon in Córdoba. In 1693 is intended to Cadiz, where he was center then an enlightened group of Capuchin missionaries of great stature and were Fathers Francisco de Jerez, Pablo Feliciano de Cadiz and Seville. Here is how our illustrious brother and cut his teeth before passing to Seville the year 1703. This date is a tradition that was praying on the 24th of June in the lower choir of the Church Capuchin Convent in Seville, had the divine inspiration or occurrence as he says, some say, however, was a vision or apparition of the Virgin to him, giving him a mandate "to present to the humble suit Pastora.
The next morning he tells his brother to find him a painter to deal with that shape his idea into a picture. I wanted to be the same logarlo and so worth it as a standard in the public Rosaries, singing, draw as he had learned from their teachers of Cadiz. The painter was chosen Miguel Alonso de Tovar, who captured beautifully the idea and knew plasmas primarily in oil sketch painted bronze that the Father Isidore held until his death, that today, as precious and distinguished relic, saved the Capuchins of Seville and then culled the box to its intended standard. Moved
this representation of Mary as Pastor of Souls, with corrections which ultimately suggested the painter referred to the same Father Isidore, to his standard, in the afternoon of September 8, 1703, for the first time in history of the Catholic Church would be applied to the figure of Mary, with title and pastoral attire in public that Rosario took its inspiration from the parish of San Gil in Seville to the Alameda de Hercules, the form and manner as he had learned of the Father Pablo de Cádiz.
