Saint of the day and spiritual life #Bienheureuse

Named after Maria Anna Donati, Blessed Celestine of the Mother of God, Foundress of the Congregation of Saint Joseph Calasanz (+ 1925), she was born in Marradi, near Florence, on October 26, 1848. She led her life in simplicity and total humility, dedicating herself to God to serve the poorest.

The story of the Blessed Virgin of Lourdes is linked to the Marian apparitions that took place in 1858 in Lourdes, a small town in the southwest of France. These events have become one of the most famous Catholic pilgrimages in the world.
