Ghébrē (ovvero Servo) Michele (Mertullè-Mariam, 1791 – Cerecca-Ghebaba, 30 luglio 1855) è stato un presbitero lazzarista etiope, proclamato beato da papa Pio XI il 3 ottobre 1926.

Biografia

Nato in Etiopia, fu monaco copto: in Egitto conobbe il missionario cattolico Giustino de Jacobis, sotto la cui influenza abbracciò la confessione cattolica.

Nominato vicario apostolico d’Abissinia, de Jacobis ordinò sacerdote Ghébrē Michele, che entrò nella Congregazione della Missione, e lo nominò docente del seminario diocesano.

Denunciato dal patriarca copto all’imperatore d’Etiopia, Ghébrē Michele fu arrestato, torturato, accecato e condannato al carcere a vita: morì in prigionia durante un’epidemia di colera.

Il culto

Fu beatificato da papa Pio XI il 3 ottobre 1926: la sua memoria liturgica si celebra il 14 luglio.
