Biography

Blessed Maria Teresa of Jesus, also known as Maria Scrilli, was born on 15 May 1825 in Montevarchi, Arezzo, Italy. Her life was marked by profound experiences of faith and a strong calling to the religious life. At a young age, Maria fell ill with an unknown illness that left her bedridden for two years. It was during this time that she had a vision of Saint Fiorenzo, which miraculously cured her.
