Religious

Italian wife and mother, Eurosia Fabris Barban showed that family life and domestic work can be a path full of holiness.

Biography

A farmer and seamstress, she educated her children in the faith, took in children in need, and opened her home to those seeking food or advice. Together with her husband she built a home sustained by prayer, sacrifice and charity; several of his sons embraced the priesthood and religious life. The people called her "Mamma Rosa" for her generous motherhood, which reached far beyond her own family.

Practical advice

Do ordinary household chores today with extraordinary love and expressly thank those who share those responsibilities with you.
