she wished her Congregation to have Our Lady Help of Sinners as
mother, protector and life model in her discipleship of Christ and in
her missionary activity. As a Franciscan, she cultivated the same
veneration which St. Francis of Assisi nourished for “Holy Mother
Church”, Pastors and priests, whom she called “the anointed of the
Lord”.
The Blessed left an admirable example of the biblical woman:
strong, prudent, mystical, spiritual teacher and notable missionary.
She left the Church a wonderful testimony of dedication to the cause
of the Gospel, teaching all, especially today, that it is possible to unite
contemplation and action, life with God and service to humanity,
bringing God to men and women, and men and women to God.
The Servant of God Pope John Paul II conferred the title and
honour of Blessed her on the 29 th of October 1995. The Holy Father,
Benedict XVI, inscribed her in the register of Saints on the 12 th of
October 2008.
