Biography
A young Italian Servite tertiary, Cecilia Eusepi traveled a luminous path of humility, abandonment and love in just eighteen years. Orphaned by her father from the first weeks of her life, she received a solid Christian education and was deeply marked by her first Communion. He wanted to consecrate himself to God, but a serious illness prevented him from continuing his religious life. At home she offered her sufferings, forgave slander and wrote out of obedience a diary that reveals a spiritual maturity inspired by Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus. He died in Nepi on October 1, 1928, singing the hymn of his first Communion.
