A Spanish nun of the Servants of Mary Ministers of the Sick, María del Desposorio Irigoyen was known as a loving mother and tireless nurse.
Biografie
Before joining the congregation, he cared for his sick relatives for years and helped the poor of Pamplona. Er legte 1883 die Profess ab und kümmerte sich um die Kranken in ihren eigenen Häusern, insbesondere während Cholera-Epidemien und anderen ansteckenden Krankheiten. Ohne den Körper zu vernachlässigen, suchte er geistlichen Trost und brachte den Gefährdeten die Sakramente näher. Eucharistic adoration nourished a serene dedication that continued even when the deterioration of his health limited his strength.
