Antonio Maria Gianelli (1798–1846)
founding bishop
Italian Bishop Founder of the Daughters of Mary Most Holy of the Garden, who had a great love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and spent long hours in adoration before him.
Biography
He had a special predilection for the virtue of poverty: he lived poor and died poor, so much so that when he died there was not enough money to buy a coffin worthy of a bishop and pay the funeral expenses.
Practical advice
Today, in the presence of God, go to the Virgin with filial trust and tell her a specific concern with external order and internal recollection.
