Biography

Blessed Mary Magdalene Martinengo, also known as Margarita Martinengo and Maria Maddalena, was born on October 5, 1687, in Brescia, Italy. She was born into the Italian nobility but suffered a deep loss when her mother passed away when Mary was just five months old. This early experience had a profound impact on her and led her to develop an intense religious devotion and a life dedicated to prayer.
