All three children, but particularly Francisco and Jacinta, practiced stringent self-mortifications to this end.

He likewise fought against state intrusion in the affairs of the church. The priest was known for his practice of mortifications in the aim of becoming as frugal as possible.

She ministered to the sick and the poor, moving into the hospital in Siena towards the end of her life, "subjecting herself to great mortifications". She experienced ecstasies and visions, and healed at least four people. She performed charitable works everyday, up to her death in 1309.

After Mother Catherine's arrival, she began the task of nursing the sick in the hospital of the monastery, attending to both the patients' spiritual as well as their physical needs. She learned the languages of the First Peoples of the region to serve them better. She would work to bring the patients closer to God. The Superior of the hospital, Mother St. Bonaventure, later testified that she and the other canonesses could tell that Catherine would spend long periods in prayer and undertook severe mortifications of her body in support of her spiritual mission, to the point of endangering her own health.

The metropolitan see of Naupactus depended on the pope of Rome until 733, when Leo III the Isaurian annexed it to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. The zealous youth St. Nicholas of Trani after a failed attempt at the mortifications of cenoebitic life at the Hosios Loukas monastery in Boetia set sail in the spring of 1094 on a pilgrimage to Rome for the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. His pious habit of evangelizing the sailors with constant proclamations (in Greek kerygma from κηρύσσω, meaning "to cry or proclaim as a herald") of the phrase Kyrie Eleison according to legend, led them to throw him overboard.

The Carmelitas had few cows to supply the little milk they drank every few days as a way to accomplish their vows of poverty and austerity. As a result of the custom of their time, women weren't allowed to access the convent, thanks to a decree of Pope Clemente VIII, which said that any woman who trespasses the wall would be banned from the Catholic Church. Another relevant point, was living in penance, which is why they asked for ordinary mortifications to the president of the community. In requesting penance, they had to take off their habit capes and be on their knees, accepting the assignments without refutations.

The characteristic virtue of this state is humility, by which the soul is becomes increasingly apprised of its own weakness and its dependence upon the grace of God. What mystical writers describe as the active and passive purifications of the spiritual life may be brought under, and arranged according to, their three states of perfection, though not confined to any one of them.E.g., John of the Cross, Ascent of Mount Carmel, especially Book 1. The active purification consists of all the holy efforts, mortifications, labors, and sufferings by which the soul, aided by the grace of God, endeavors to reform the mind, heart, and sensitive appetite.

He was known for his staunch defense of Church rights against secular intervention and was a champion of the poor. In 1225 he sold all his possessions in a famine to aid the poor and homeless. The duke Peter I forced him into a brief exile in 1228 and he spent that time living for a while in Poitiers before he returned to his diocese in 1230 after the duke reconciled with Pope Gregory IX. It was during his exile in Poitiers that he assisted the ill bishop there and helped him in his ecclesial duties. The bishop was noted for his meekness and for his self-mortifications.

At the time of the English civil war, Bandinel was considered the head of the parliamentary party in Jersey, whose cause he is said to have espoused chiefly out of opposition to the leading loyalist, Carteret. When the parties conflicted, Bandinel held back all supplies from the fortresses of Elizabeth Castle and Mont Orgueil, where the lieutenant- governor and his wife were shut up. The rigors and mortifications that he had to endure brought Carteret to his grave, and in his last illness Bandinel evinced the bitterness of his enmity by refusing all spiritual and material comforts to the dying man, keeping even his wife from him until the last moment.

Ludovico Morbioli (1433 - 9 November 1485) was an Italian Roman Catholic from Bologna who led a dissolute life before adopting a life of repentance. Morbioli was married but separated from his wife after experiencing a sudden religious conversion in Venice during a grave illness - he forever wandered the streets preaching on penance and the need for personal mortifications. His use of a white habit has given rise to misconceptions that he was part of the Carmelite Order when he was not. Morbioli's beatification received full approval on 24 October 1843 after Pope Gregory XVI confirmed the late penitent's longstanding and enduring local 'cultus' - or popular veneration.

He made his final vows in 1585 at the age of 54. The bodily mortifications which he imposed on himself were extreme, the scruples and mental agitation to which he was subject were of frequent occurrence, his obedience absolute, and his absorption in spiritual things, even when engaged on most distracting employments, continual. His Jesuit superiors, seeing the good work he was doing among the townspeople, were eager to have his influence spread far among his own religious community, so on feast days they often sent him into the pulpit in the dining room to hear him give a sermon. On more than one occasion the community sat quietly past dinner time to hear Alphonsus finish his sermon.

According to legend, Modestini's generosity to the poor knew no bounds, so that one day there was not even a loaf of bread for his own household. When still another poor man came, he asked his wife to look to see if there was not something they could find for him. That vexed her and she scolded him severely; his mortifications, she said, had well nigh crazed him, he would keep giving so long that they themselves would have to suffer hunger. Modestini asked her gently to please look in the pantry, for he trusted that Christ, who had multiplied loaves to bread to feed thousands, to bring the necessaries to the sick.

Andrea Corsini (30 November 1302 – 6 January 1373 or 1374Fiesole, Italy (1373) miracle hunter, 2015) was an Italian Roman Catholic prelate and professed member from the Carmelites who served as the Bishop of Fiesole from 1349 until his death. Corsini led a wild and dissolute life until a rebuke from his mother moved him to go to the Santa Maria del Carmine church where he resolved to join the Carmelites as a priest and friar. He exercised various roles in the order, until reluctantly he accepted his episcopal position. In order to accept that position, he imposed greater mortifications upon himself than that required by the order, and dedicate himself to the plight of the poor.

Sahagun and Duran describe the pairs of high priests (quetzalcoatlus) who were in charge of the major pilgrimage centres (Cholula and Tenochtitlan) as enjoying immense respect from all levels of Aztec society—akin to archbishops—and a level of authority that partly transcended national boundaries. Under these religious heads were many tiers of priests, priestesses, novices, nuns, and monks (some part-time) who ran the cults of the various gods and goddesses. Sahagun reports that the priests had very strict training, and had to live very austere and ethical lives involving prolonged vigils, fasts, and penances. For instance, they often had to bleed themselves and undertake prescribed self- mortifications in the buildup to sacrificial rites.

Early on, Nicodemus was attracted to the monastic life, and wished to join the ascetics who had established themselves in the zone known as the Mercurion, on the cliffs of the Pollino in Calabria. He was at first refused entry into the community by the austere abbot Saint Fantinus (Fantino), who did not think Nicodemus could endure the penances and mortifications, but eventually the abbot relented. The reputation for holiness and austerity of these Calabrian monks, whose number included Saint Nilus of Rossano (San Nilo di Rossano), was such that they received praise by Orestes, patriarch of Jerusalem. Eventually, Nicodemus withdrew to Mount Cellerano (or Kellerano, today San Nicodemo) in the area known as Locride, where his fame attracted a new community of monks there.

A legend, composed around the 10th century and incorporating elements from other saints’ hagiographies, states that Liberalis was a native of Altinum, born to a noble equestrian family.San Liberale According to the legend, he was educated in the Christian faith by Heliodorus of Altino (Eliodoro), first Christian bishop of the city. Liberalis practiced extreme mortifications and fasts after his conversion. Faced with growing opposition from both Arianism and paganism in the see, Heliodorus retired as bishop and lived as a hermit on a desert island in the lagoons near Altino, entrusting the see to a man named Ambrose. Worried about Ambrose’s ability to handle the rise of Arianism in the see, Liberalis decided to look for Heliodorus and attempt to convince him to come back to his see.

All these activities were undoubtedly motivated as much by economic necessity as by Owenite socialist conviction. Employment opportunities for single women such as Macauley were few and far between, and the small sums paid by the Owenites to their publicists would have been very welcome. Writing for publication was a more typical resource for such women—and Macauley also turned her hand to this, penning small volumes of essays on edifying topics, ‘poetic effusions’, and other such ladylike potboilers, while at the same time also producing a steady stream of pamphlets denouncing her enemies in the theatre, attacking the magistracy, and defending various patrons against scurrilous detractors—the traditional stuff of Grub Street hacks. But ‘literary pursuits are the most arduous of any … and subject to the most mortifications—particularly for females’, as she complained.

George also granted legacies to his brother Thomas and to three nephews, but descendants of two of these nephews died poor men in the hospital.

In Catania, in the house of the Platania family, a young French girl arrives as housekeeper: Caterina Leher. The elderly widower Leopoldo lives in this family unit; his son Enrico, engaged in ex-marital adventures; her daughter-in-law Elena, a wild intellectual who allows herself to be courted with discretion by the bitter writer Alessandro Bonivaglia, a tolerated frequenter of the house; their two little children, all served faithfully by a naive girl: Jana. Both Caterina and the Platania family are religious, but of a very particular religiosity. Catherine is "the sin" not so much because education and nature have endowed her with anomalous instincts as because these instincts, mixed with a fanatic desire for respectability, overwhelm her in a cog of complacent remorse and distorted mortifications.
