	John of God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint John of God (Spanish: Juan de Dios; Portuguese: João de Deus) (March 8, 1495 - March 8, 1550) was a Portuguese-born friar and saint, who has become one of Spain's leading religious figures.
		John had an offer to marry the farmer's daughter and become heir to the property; but he refused because he wanted to pursue a spiritual life.
		He experienced a major spiritual conversion on Saint Sebastian's day, 20 January, while listening to a sermon by Saint John of Avila, the man who was later to become his spiritual mentor and would encourage him in his quest to improve the life of the poor.
