"The very natural match, the encouragement of his loçanía very large and it was his demeanor like those of who say they do not catch on the ground or is for them a little around the world as the expert farmer land is not displeased by their good substance and springs loçanía Malec, then applied the ploughshare turns everything into fruits " .
This is a very peculiar described the Trinitarian Father Domingo Lopez, early eighteenth century, Fray Jerónimo de Pedraza, illustrious son of the convent of the Trinity of Manchester, born in Marbella, he received the habit on 26 February 1634 and a year later professed: "I applied to the study of Arts and Theologia and left such a good student graduating in a contest for the first opposition gave the chair of the Arts of the convent of Malaga, where he was read and entered the city collecting large loans chair and pulpit and in that population's goçando first applause. "
Son of Juan de Pedraza, a native of Ciudad Rodrigo, ruler of the city of Marbella and Gibraltar, and María del Castillo, marbellense origin "of the people most important part of the city," spent his childhood and youth, until he entered the convent in the house beside the room, - housing for the troops I was more or less up to Nuria Fabrics, "in the neighborhood known by the name of his father. Open area for development since the last quarter of the XVI, border wall, reaching the qualifying Pedraza Broad Street.
But back to Brother Jerome. His biographer places it in Marbella shortly after 1635 "... requested permission to visit his relatives ..." complicated family vacation to return, "he embarked for Malaga and the sea imbiole [he sent] the Lord such a right storm, which was hopelessly to the varquilla pique. " The following description is beautiful prose: "He saw his eyes suddenly death health while the Lord alumbrole the understanding represents to Viveca waiting trial, hell I treasured and lost glory. I wanted to throw himself at the table of contrition and could not be saved and loaded into consideration that revived the pain of fate, that his great back tears pudieran aumentar el mar mismo”.

Renunció a la cátedra, se dio a la oración, al ayuno y a disciplinas sangrientas “los cilicios eran muchos y de agudas puntas de hierro”. Marchó a Córdoba donde procuraba “… aplacar las divinas justicias y ask for divine mercy. "

Came to town ... healing the infected confess with your hands using medicines and cleaning materials and whether they were kissing the sores decent game. "
His death went unnoticed, at least for those who exercise the sacred writers and attribute holiness "of the hornbills traitor and an enemy ailment and gave, although ardent fever, without frenzy or delirium. He served until completely caught lacked force them ... and taking a cross was removed to a secret part and knelt down and expired, they were their parents called Capuchins to eat and found him on his knees, dead, laying its so very soft body odor, he left the hospital washed everything and so graceful and beautiful face, that looked like angel's face.
