Maria Teresa Casini (1864–1937)
Founding religious
An Italian religious, María Teresa Casini felt from a young age the call to offer herself for the holiness of priests.
Biography
After two attempts at consecrated life interrupted by illness and other circumstances, she gathered women in Grottaferrata who shared her prayer and founded the Oblates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Over time he understood that prayer had to be accompanied with concrete support for vocations and he created a work to welcome and form poor boys with priestly concerns. He persevered without bitterness through repeated beginnings and trials.
Practical advice
Offer today a prayer and concrete material help for the formation of a priestly or religious vocation.
