Celina Chludzińska Borzęcka (1833–1913)
Founding religious
Polish wife, mother, widow and founder, Celina Borzęcka discovered the will of God in the successive stages of her life.
Biography
She accepted the marriage on the advice of her parents and was a faithful wife, mother of four children and attentive educator. She cared for her paralyzed husband for years until his death. Already a widow, she discerned her vocation again and, together with her daughter Hedwig, founded the Sisters of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Rome. The congregation especially attended to the education of girls and the renewal of families. Losses, poverty and opposition strengthened his confidence that all of God's work is sustained in Him.
Practical advice
Fulfill with love the duty of your current stage, without living longing for the mission of another time.
