After a debauched youth, Jerome Emiliani became a soldier in 1506 and was captured by Venetian forces in 1511. He credited his prayers to the Virgin Mary for his miraculous release. After his ordination in 1518, he cared for victims of the plague, even housing orphans in his own home. At night he searched for and buried those who had died unattended in the street. He contracted the fever himself, but survived to found six orphanages, a shelter for penitent prostitutes, and a hospital.
