April 28 ~ Venerable Intoner The Venerable Franciscan Priest Pedro Lopez, a native of Mexico City, where he professed in the Convent of Our Father San Francisco, on May 17, 1600; son of Juan Lopez and Maria Diaz. Knowing the day of his death, he advised the Vicar Fray Sebastian de Gama to sing the verse of Incarnatus, and Father Juan de Pedraza to sing Et Unam Sanctam, etcetera. When asked who should intone, he replied, “God Our Father has granted that I should intone.” Came the hour, he advised they perform the Credo; and he intoned. At the moment the Credo ended, joyously ended his life also, on the 28th of April 1630, in the Convent of Puebla, where he is interred. "Menologio Franciscano" tr.
