Práxedes Fernández García

Life

A laywoman and mother, of the Third Order of St. Dominic; she was first a young woman active in her parish and among the Daughters of Mary, then a wife and mother, then a widow devoted to her children and to a secular apostolate as a Dominican tertiary, through intense prayer, love for the Eucharist and for Our Lady, generous daily sacrifice, and an authentic spirit of service and charity, against the backdrop of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

Translated from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
