Berenaridini yavukiye mu Butaliyani, kuwa 8 Nzeri 1380. Yavutse ku munsi Bikira Mariya yavukiyeho, bituma aho akuriye akunda uwo Mubyeyi wacu. Yabaye imfubyi akiri muto; yapfushije nyina afite imyaka 3, naho ku myaka itanndatu na se arapfa. Yarerewe i Siyene kwa nyina wabo utaragiraga akana, maze akamukunda cyane. Bernaridini yakuranye imico myiza ya gikiristu, agakunda kwiga, gusenga no gushengerera isakramentu ritagatifu. No ku ishuri umwanya wo gukina ntiwarangiraga atanyarukiye mu kiliziya. Berenardini yari afite urukundo rw’ abakene ku buryo, umunsi umwe yabonye nyina wabo yanze guha umukene ifunguro na we aravuga ati: “gira icyo uha uriya mukene, na ho ubundi niba nta kintu abonye nanjye nta funguro mfata.” Berenardini ntiyishimiraga na gato amagambo adakwiye, ku buryo yamubabazaga cyane. Iyo abanyeshuri biganaga babaga bamubonye, baravugaga bati: “muceceke dore Berenardini araje.”

Amaze kuba umusore, Berenardini yahisemo kwiyegurira Imana mu muryango w’Abafransisikani. Igihe mu Butaliyani hateye indwara y’icyorezo, yitangiye kuvura abarwayi ubutaruhuka, adatinya ko bamwanduza, dore ko iyo ndwara yari yaramaze abantu cyane cyane abarwaza. Icyo gihe atangiye kuvura yari afite imyaka 17, ari umufureri. Bavuga ko Berenardini ku mubiri yari mwiza cyane bitangaje, ubwo bwiza bwe bw’umubiri ntiyabwitayeho, icyo yari ashyize imbere ni ubwiza bwa roho ye. Aho abereye umufaransisikani, abakuru be bamutegetse kujya ajya kwigisha muri za paruwasi nyinshi.  Berenardini yakomeje umurimo ukomeye wo kwamamaza Inkuru nziza, azenguruka igihugu yigisha abantu ngo bagarukire ukwemera. Icyo gihe benshi bari baradohotse mu bukristu kubera ibyago byinshi byari byarabazahaje kandi n’ Ubutaliyani bwari bumaze kugaruka cyane mu byishimo bya gipagani. Nuko bose bamutega amatwi bakunda inyigisho ze, abari barihebye bongera kwizera Imana. Uwo murimo yawukoze imyaka isaga 30.
