Carmela di Gesù

Life

Foundress of the Institute of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of the Incarnate Word; her mystical experience revolved around three pillars: the Incarnation of the Word, perceived as the most sublime and ineffable manifestation of God's love; the Eucharist, toward which she directed her whole life of sacrifice, oblation and victimhood, in daily adoration; and the Virgin Mary, whom she loved from childhood and always invoked with trust in difficulties and sufferings.

Translated from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
