Sr. Guiseppina Nicoli, D.C. was beatified on this day, February 3, 2008. She is known for her work with poor and uneducated children.

“Accompanied by the Sisters in her community, Sister Nicoli approached these young people with the gentleness of a loving mother. She won them over, for she responded to a profound and inexpressible need they had for attention and affection. Through her trust and friendship, she guided them to find the Lord.”

Take a few minutes to see the beautiful story of her life unfold, in this SlideShare presentation:

If you understand Italian, I recommend this YouTube biography covering her life and works.

I also found this video showing the Pilgrimage of the Relics of Blessed Giuseppina at Santa Maria della Neve (Our Lady of the Snows) Parish, Arzachena, Italy.
