María de Jesús Deluil-Martiny (1841–1884)
Martyr
French religious, María de Jesús Deluil-Martiny promoted the Honor Guard of the Sacred Heart and founded the Daughters of the Heart of Jesus, a contemplative community oriented to adoration, reparation and prayer for priests.
Biography
Before founding, he cared for his sick family for years and carried out charity work. She was murdered in 1884 by a house employee motivated by hatred for the faith. His life was marked by offering: he wanted to unite his existence to the sacrifice of Christ for the Church and the world.
Practical advice
Pray today for the holiness of a specific priest and offer a renunciation for him that no one will notice.
