'''Venerable Matt Talbot''' (May 2, 1856 – June 7, 1925) was an Irish ascetic and laborer whose dramatic conversion from alcoholism to a life of intense prayer and penance has made him a model for those struggling with addiction.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=430 |title=Venerable Matt Talbot |publisher=Catholic Online |access-date=2025-12-27}}</ref> According to verified biographical accounts from his contemporaries and the cause for canonization, Talbot was born into a poor Dublin family marked by alcoholism; from his early teens until age 28, he was a daily heavy drinker. In 1884, after a profound grace of repentance, he took a three-month pledge of abstinence, renewed it for life, and lived 41 years of sobriety sustained by daily Mass, spiritual reading, fasting, and chains of penance worn under his clothes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/venerable-matt-talbot/ |title=Venerable Matt Talbot |publisher=Franciscan Media |access-date=2025-12-27}}</ref> | '''Venerable Matt Talbot''' (May 2, 1856 – June 7, 1925) was an Irish ascetic and laborer whose dramatic conversion from alcoholism to a life of intense prayer and penance has made him a model for those struggling with addiction.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=430 |title=Venerable Matt Talbot |publisher=Catholic Online |access-date=2025-12-27}}</ref> According to verified biographical accounts from his contemporaries and the cause for canonization, Talbot was born into a poor Dublin family marked by alcoholism; from his early teens until age 28, he was a daily heavy drinker.
