About Saint Miguel Febres Cordero:
Miguel Febres Cordero is a saint from Ecuador. Miguel Cordero was born crippled and was not able to walk until he was five years old. At the age of 18, he became the first Ecuadorian to join the Novitiate. St. Miguel excelled in linguistics and literature, thus earning him membership in the Ecuadorian Academy of Letters in 1892, followed by the Academies of Spain, France, and Venezuela. St. Miguel was also a teacher for many years.
In 1907, Brother Miguel was sent to Europe to translate texts into Spanish, which were to be used by the Christian Brothers who were exiled from France. In 1909, he was transferred to the junior novitiate at Premia del Mar, where he oversaw an evacuation of his charges to Barcelona. Shortly thereafter, he contracted pneumonia and died at Premia del Mar.
