Traditional account

Liberata and Faustina were the daughters of one Giovannato, who lived in the fortress of Olgisio in Pianello Val Tidone, in the province of Piacenza, where there are prehistoric caves known as the caves of the "Saints". Although promised in marriage, after a vision of a woman mourning the death of her husband, the sisters fled the castle and lived as hermits.[1]


They later moved to Como and joined the Benedictines. According to Federico Troletti, the cult of Saint Faustina and Liberata is an isolated phenomenon in the Camonica Valley, where it is believed a flood was averted through their intercession.[1]

Blessed Maria Teresa Fasce


Profile

Taught catechetism to children. She grew to love Augustinian spirituality, and became acquainted with the human and spiritual adventure of Rita of Cascia, whose canonization in 1900 was very special to Maria, leading to her desire to be an Augustinian religious in the monastery of Cascia, Italy. She entered in June 1906 at age 25, made her initial vows on Christmas 1907, taking the name Maria Teresa.



The community was in sad decline when Maria Teresa entered, and she became disillusioned. In 1911, she stayed her family for a period of reflection, but returned to the convent, taking her solemn vows on 22 March 1912. Novice mistress in 1914. After writing letters about the terrible spiritual condition of the community, she was appointed vicar from 1917 to 1920, and abbess from 1920 till her death in 1947.


The little chapel containing Saint Rita's body was almost unknown when Mother Maria entered the monastery. Today the basilica is a place of pilgrimage for thousands who learned of Rita through the pamphlet, Dalle Api alle Rose, which Mother Maria started in 1923. Mother Maria's dream was to bring people to God through Saint Rita - and it has worked.


The monastery took in orphan girls, and many live in the modern "Saint Rita's Hive" next to the church. An Augustinian seminary, a hospital, retreat house, and other services grew up around the chapel. Mother Maria Teresa's love was the cause of it all, her spirit sustaining her frail body through the years and work.


Born

Died

• 18 January 1947 of natural causes

• buried next to Saint Rita of Cascia

மூன்று வயதான மார்கரெட், கி.பி. 1245ம் ஆண்டு, “வெஸ்ப்ரெம்” (Veszprém) எனுமிடத்திலுள்ள டொமினிகன் மடாலயத்திற்கு தனது பெற்றோரால் ஒப்படைக்கப்பட்டார். ஆறு வருடங்கள் கழித்து, ஒன்பது வயதான குழந்தை மார்கரெட், “ரேபிட்” தீவிலுள்ள (Rabbit Island) (தற்போதைய மார்கரெட் தீவு - (today Margaret Island) “நியுலக் ச்ஸிகெட்” (Nyulak Szigete) எனுமிடத்தில் அவரது பெற்றோரால் நிறுவப்பட்ட “அர்ச்சிஷ்ட கன்னி மரியாள்” (Monastery of the Blessed Virgin) மடத்திற்கு மாற்றப்பட்டார்.

இவரது வாழ்க்கை சம்பந்தமான பல்வேறு விபரங்கள், ஒருவேளை 14 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டில் எழுதப்பட்ட (Legend of Saint Margaret) எனப்படும் இவரது சுயசரித நூல்களில் காணக்கிடைக்கின்றன. பின்னர் இது, 15ம் நூற்றாண்டில், “இலத்தீன்” (Latin) மொழியிலிருந்து “ஹங்கேரியன்” (Hungarian) மொழிக்கு மொழிமாற்றம் செய்யப்பட்டது. ஆரம்பகால குழந்தை பருவத்திலிருந்து மார்கரெட் தன்னைத்தானே வருத்திக்கொண்டார். இரும்பிலான அரைக்கச்சை அணிந்தும், மயிர் ஆடைகள் அணிந்தும், கம்பி மற்றும் ஆணிகளாலான காலணிகள் அணிந்தும் தம்மை வருத்திக்கொண்டார். பின்னர், மடத்தின் சாக்கடை சுத்தம் செய்வது போன்ற அழுக்கான பணிகளையும் செய்தார்.
