Life

Berard was received into the Franciscan Order by Saint Francis in 1213. He was well versed in Arabic, an eloquent preacher, and was chosen by Francis, together with two other priests, Peter and Otho, and two lay brothers, Accursius and Adjutus, to evangelize the "infidels of the East". On the conclusion of the Second General Chapter of the Franciscan Friars in 1219, Saint Francis believed that the time had then come for the religious of his order to extend their apostolic labors beyond the Italian peninsula and Northern Europe; and, choosing for himself and twelve other religious the greater part of Syria and Egypt, he allotted to Berard and his companions the missions of Morocco.

The five missionaries set sail from Italy, and after sojourning some time in Spain and Portugal, they arrived in the Kingdom of Morocco, arriving in Seville. Despite the fact that the only one of the five who knew any Arabic was Berard, their open preaching of the Gospel there and their bold denunciation of Islam soon caused them to be viewd as insane. However, when it became apparent that they would neither go away nor stop preaching, they were apprehended and cast into prison.^[2] Having vainly endeavored to persuade them to abandon their Catholic faith, the Moorish king, in a fit of rage, opened their heads with his scimitar, and thus they became the first martyrs of the Franciscan Order.
