Biography
Son of Diego Gracián de Alderete, brother of Lucas Gracián Dantisco, and grandson of the Polish humanist and Erasmian Juan Dantisco (Jan Dantyszek), he studied at the Jesuit college in Madrid and then went to the University of Alcalá to study theology and philosophy. He was ordained a priest in 1569.
Gracián was rehabilitated by Pope Clement VIII in a brief which would have restored him to the Order, had the Discalced Carmelite superiors in Spain been willing to receive him. He was instead admitted by the Carmelites at San Martino ai Monti. He was officially rehabilitated by the Discalced Carmelite Order in 1991.
