January 9th | Feast
Born in Florence at the beginning of the 14th century, St. Andrew Corsini entered religious life in the Carmelite house in his native city. He was appointed Provincial of Tuscany in 1348 by the General Chapter meeting in Metz and the following year he was named bishop of Fiesole, near Florence. He governed his diocese well, becoming a model of charity and an eloquent preacher.
He was distinguished by his zeal for the apostolate, his wise judgement and his love for the poor.
