(Esc\u00f3bados de Arriba, Burgos, Spain) \u2013 March 10, 1954 (Mazatl\u00e1n, Sinaloa, Mexico)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Father Silverio, of the G\u00f3mez-Fern\u00e1ndez family, was born in the village of Esc\u00f3bados de Arriba on the high plain of Sedano, south of the district of Villarcayo, in the Spanish province of Burgos, on March 8, 1878.<\/p>\n

He was educated by an uncle who was a priest \u2013 Don Tiburcio Fern\u00e1ndez \u2013 in the schoolhouse of Don Manuel Guti\u00e9rrez, pastor of Villaescusa de Butr\u00f3n (a village neighboring Esc\u00f3bados) and earned a grade of \u201cMeritissimus\u201d in Latin and \u201cBenem\u00e9ritas\u201d in Geography and History of Spain. From there, he went to the Seminary of Saint Jerome in Burgos to continue ecclesiastical studies for three more years, 1892 to 1895. In July 1895, he entered the novitiate of the Discalced Carmelites of Larrea in Vizcaya, Spain, taking the Carmelite habit on July 4, 1895. He completed his novitiate and studied Philosophy and Theology in the colleges of the province of Saint Joachim of Navarre.<\/p>\n

He was ordained to the priesthood on July 27, 1902, by the Archbishop of Burgos, friar Gregorio Mar\u00eda Aguirre, future Cardinal and Primate of Spain. That year, he traveled to Rome, where he continued his theological studies from 1902 to 1904 in the Gregorian University. When the General of the Order, Father Reinaldo Maria, assigned him to the theological school of Naples as a professor, he traveled to Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and England to broaden his studies. In the end, he did not hold the teaching office, but instead was sent to Burgos.<\/p>\n

At the behest of the Major Superiors, he devoted himself to researching and publishing the history and bibliography of the spiritual legacy of the Discalced Carmel. In 1906, he was appointed director of the periodical, Revista Monte Carmelo<\/em>. It is estimated that Father Silverio published about 600 titles, including articles and major and minor works.<\/p>\n

His first major work was The Precept of Love<\/em> (1913, El Precepto del Amor<\/em>), published in chapters titled, \u201cLegal charity and Christian charity\u201d (La caridad legal y la caridad cristiana<\/em>) in the Revista Monte Carmelo<\/em>. After that came \u201cHistorical overview of the Restoration of the Discalced Carmelites in Spain\u201d (1918, Resumen hist\u00f3rico de la Restauraci\u00f3n de los Carmelitas Descalzos en Espa\u00f1a<\/em>). His third major work, lengthy and meritorious, is \u201cHistory of the Discalced Carmel in Spain, Portugal, and America\u201d (Historia del Carmen Descalzo en Espa\u00f1a, Portugal y Am\u00e9rica<\/em>), spanning 15 volumes and described as \u201can elegant and loving record of our past\u201d which was undertaken \u201cin conformity with the historical canons of its time, with the purpose of edification.\u201d The first four of the fifteen volumes are dedicated to a biography of Saint Teresa of Jesus; the fifth volume to the life of Saint John of the Cross; and the sixth volume is dedicated to Fathers Graci\u00e1n and Doria. In the remaining nine volumes, he presents syntheses of the lives of the most notable Carmelites, friars as well as nuns, up to the mid-20th century. He chose persons relevant for their virtue as well as their learning and drew up documentation of the new foundations of convents and monasteries in Spain, Portugal, and America. The first tome was published by Imprenta del Monte Carmelo in 1935. Among other works, we can cite: \u201cThe Life of Saint Teresa of Jesus: The epitomized essence of our People\u201d (1939, Vida de Santa Teresa de Jes\u00fas, s\u00edntesis <\/em>suprema<\/em> de la Raza<\/em>), part of the series of Biblioteca Nueva (Madrid); or the last one: \u201cThe Perfect Carmelite\u201d (1948, La Carmelita Perfecta<\/em>), an edition by the publishing house Monte Carmelo dedicated to his dear Discalced Carmelite sisters.<\/p>\n

Among his minor works are: \u201cPoor Children!\u201d (1910, \u00a1Pobres Ni\u00f1os!<\/em>); \u201cMemoire of the 22nd International Eucharistic Congress\u201d (1911, Recuerdo del XXII Congreso Eucar\u00edstico Internacional<\/em>); \u201cThrough Las Hurdes and Las Batuecas\u201d (1922, Por las Hurdes y las Batuecas<\/em>); \u201cSaint Teresa: A model of Christian feminism\u201d (1931, Santa Teresa, modelo de feminismo cristiano<\/em>); \u201cSaint Teresa and her friendships\u201d (1933, Santa Teresa y sus relaciones de amistad<\/em>); Ana Teresa of the Sacred Family\u201d (1935, Ana Teresa de la Sagrada Familia<\/em>); \u201cVenerable Mar\u00eda of Jesus\u201d (1949, La Venerable Mar\u00eda de Jes\u00fas<\/em>); and \u201cThe Life of Don Pedro Poveda Castroverde\u201d (1952, Vida Don Pedro Poveda <\/em>Castroverde<\/em>).<\/p>\n

His work as an editor is even more extensive. We can list: the edition of the devotional book \u201cCarmelite Anthology\u201d (1908, Florilegio Carmelitano<\/em>); \u201cDialogues on the death of Saint Teresa\u201d, by Father Graci\u00e1n (Di\u00e1logos sobre la muerte de Sta. Teresa<\/em>, 1913); \u201cA Book on Recreations and other writings\u201d by Mother Mar\u00eda of Saint Joseph (1913, Libro de Recreaciones y otros escritos<\/em>); \u201cComplete Works of Saint Teresa of Jesus\u201d (1915-1925). It is with this last work that he began the \u201cCarmelite Mystical Library\u201d (Biblioteca M\u00edstica Carmelitana<\/em> \u2013 BMC) that \u201cserved as a basis for the subsequent, laudable editions of the Complete Works of the two Holy Doctors of the Teresian Carmel, and for the numerous translations edited in other languages. Just this one epic tome of the BMC, by itself, \u00a0justifies the title, \u2018promotor of the Spirituality\u2019 given to Father Silverio\u201d (Matias of the Child Jesus). The goal of the BMC was to provide a \u201clearned and devout\u201d public with the \u201cmystical and ascetical Spanish [works] with which the Discalced Carmel has proven itself so fruitful.\u201d He published a popular edition of the works of Saint Teresa from 1916 through 1920 and a compendium in 1920 with all the principal works of la Santa. After that would come the \u201cProcesses of Beatification and Canonization of Saint Teresa\u201d (1934-1935, Procesos de Beatificaci\u00f3n y Canonizaci\u00f3n de Santa Teresa<\/em>), a three-volume work also belonging to the BMC.<\/p>\n

The BMC would also publish the \u201cWorks of Saint John of the Cross\u201d (Obras de San Juan de la <\/em>Cruz<\/em>) in four volumes and the \u201cProcesses of Beatification and Canonization of Saint John of the Cross\u201d (Procesos de Beatificaci\u00f3n y Canonizaci\u00f3n de San Juan de la Cruz<\/em>) in one volume. The same year, a compendium edition of the works of Saint John of the Cross was issued. In 1935-1937, he published a \u201cLife of Saint Teresa of Jesus\u201d (Vida de Santa Teresa de Jes\u00fas<\/em>) drawn from the \u201cHistory of the Discalced Carmel\u201d (Historia del Carmen Descalzo<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Other notable works by Carmelite authors published by Father Silverio are: \u201cSpiritual Canticle and Poetry of Saint John of the Cross according to the manuscript of Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda,\u201d a phototypographical edition (1928, C\u00e1ntico Espiritual y Poes\u00edas de San Juan de la Cruz seg\u00fan el c\u00f3dice de Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda<\/em>); and \u201cWorks of Father Jerome Gratian of the Mother of God\u201d in three volumes (1932-1933, Obras del P Jer\u00f3nimo Graci\u00e1n de la Madre de Dios<\/em>).<\/p>\n

He attended the 22nd Inter-Eucharistic Congress in Madrid as a press consultant. On May 14, 1915, the Royal Academy of History (Real Academia de la Historia) named him Academic. In 1918, he was awarded the Gold Medal by the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language (Real Academia de la Lengua) for his Teresian bibliography. He represented the Order when the University of Salamanca granted an honorary doctorate to Saint Teresa. He participated in the ambassadorship of Cardinal Benlloch to South America in 1923 and was awarded the Peruvian Order of the Sun. Previously, in 1922 (the 3rd Centenary of the Canonization of Saint Teresa), he competed in several contests and won a prize in Seville\u2019s Floral Games, presided by Princess Isabel. He won the Royal Academy of History\u2019s prize in the\u00a0 National Teresian Contest with his work, \u201cPrimary sources of information for a history of Saint Teresa and critique of the biographies of La Santa predating 1610\u201d (Principales fuentes de informaci\u00f3n para una historia de Santa Teresa y cr\u00edtica de las biograf\u00edas de la Santa anteriores a 16l0<\/em>). In 1923, he was given an award for his work \u201cInfluence of the spirit of Saint Teresa in Catalonia\u201d (Influencia del esp\u00edritu de Santa Teresa en Catalu\u00f1a<\/em>). In 1924, he was elected Academic of the Hispano-American Academy of C\u00e1diz, and was presented by Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Pem\u00e1n, renowned poet and native of C\u00e1diz. In 1948, he was appointed member of the Spanish National Research Council. In 1952, Francisco Franco, head of state, awarded him the Great Cross of the Order of Alphonse X the Wise, and it was invested on him by the Minister of Education, Ruiz Jimenez.<\/p>\n

As for the offices he held as Discalced Carmelite, in 1909, he was appointed Provincial Definitor; in 1913, Official Historian of the Order; in 1918, Prior of the Carmel of Burgos; in 1933, Provincial of Saint John of the Cross of Burgos; in 1937, the Chapter appointed him Definitor General; in 1946, Vicar General of the Order; and in 1947, Superior General.<\/p>\n

As historian, he ached for the old, abandoned Carmels of friars and joyfully witnessed the foundations of Mother Maravillas de Jes\u00fas in Duruelo, Mancera, and the Desert of Las Batuecas.<\/p>\n

Among the Deserts that were abandoned and in ruins, he felt a preference for Saint Joseph of Las Batuecas and had the most interest in its restoration. He, who was so knowledgeable about the origins and heroisms of the Teresian Reform.<\/p>\n

He was at the provisionally restored convent in the Desert of Saint Joseph of the Mountain of Las Batuecas in 1922 to receive, in representation of the Order, King Alfonso XIII during the monarch\u2019s visit to the region of Las Hurdes. The fruit of that visit is \u201cThrough Las Hurdes and Las Batuecas\u201d (1922, Por las Hurdes y las Batuecas<\/em>) published in several chapters in the periodical Revista Monte Carmelo, as mentioned above. Once Mother Maravillas and her nuns were settled in Las Batuecas, he preached the spiritual exercises to the community from July 20 to 30, 1938.<\/p>\n

During the Chapter of 1947 in which Father Silverio was elected Superior General of the Order, he expressed his desire to restore the Deserts of the Order. In 1948, with the assistance of Father Silverio, the Desert of Roquebrune was founded in France. In October 1950, he proposed to the provincials meeting in Rome the restoration of eremitical life in Las Batuecas, Mother Maravillas having obtained its transfer to the Order. The restoration of the Desert of Las Batuecas took place on November 28, 1950.<\/p>\n

He gave his support to the work of Saint Maravillas de Jes\u00fas, noting that anyone \u201cwho dealt a little bit with Mother Maravillas de Jes\u00fas would see her deep love for the Order, and as a necessary consequence, a firm and constant desire to restore the historic convents of the Teresian Reform.\u201d As Superior General, he presided at the inauguration of the Carmel of Duruelo on July 20, 1947: \u201cWhat joy \u2013 so deep, wholesome, and so classically Teresian \u2013 pervaded all our being!… It was a day of great emotion for those suffused with love for the Teresian Carmel; and for me, one of the happiest days of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The great work of his generalship was the creation of the International College of Discalced Carmelite Friars in Rome; Teresian; founded next to Saint Pancras on the grounds of the Villa Pamphili. On October 15, 1950, feast of Saint Teresa, the foundation stone was placed.<\/p>\n

On the 50th anniversary of his ordination in 1952, the General Curia dedicated a book to him titled, Zelo zelatus sum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough unseen by many, his religious bearing was important for many years to the people of Burgos. His modest gaze in one so tall, with a broad and luminous brow, revealed his keen interior life. His brothers in community always saw him barefoot. He was the celebrant in the first mass of Carmel. He was an affable brother, knowledgeable, and equally adept at quick wit and intelligent irony. His participation in Community events \u2013 every cloister\u2019s wheel of penance \u2013 was unfailing. He achieved a doctorate in prudence in his literary judgments as well as in his practical decisions\u201d (Bruno of Saint Joseph).<\/p>\n

While on a canonical visitation to the province of Mexico, he died of an onset of hypotension when he was about to board an airplane to Rome. He was still General of the Order at that time. On March 11th, his remains were interred at the Pantheon of Illustrious Spaniards in Mexico while awaiting transfer to the chapel of the Teresianum, the international institute of learning in Rome, where his remains repose to this day.<\/p>\n

After his death, Father Silverio was described as \u201cthe consummate Castilian of old and native of Burgos par excellence; a bold man whose many virtues and the constant work of his pen elevated a forgotten village from hidden barrenness to the highest summit of Superior General of the Order of Mount Carmel.\u201d<\/p>\n
