Jacinta Marescotti
Franciscan nun
(1585-1640) He was born to a noble family in Viterbo, Italy.
Biography
Her father considered her so frivolous and fanciful that he decided not to marry her and send her to the Franciscan convent. Jacinta continued with the same behavior, scandalizing her sisters, until a serious illness made her change and become an excellent nun. His last twenty-five years of life were so full of supernatural favors that as soon as he died, his beatification process began.
Practical advice
By collecting your heart in silence, make someone's work more kind through a concrete service like someone who works and prays under the loving gaze of God.
