February 3 marks the date when Sister Giuseppina Nicoli, DC was beatified in 2008, during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI.
After her death at the age of 61, on 31 December 1924, a handwritten prayer was found tucked in the hollow of the Crucifix she had received at her first vows. In this prayer she had written: “I want to serve you faithfully, practicing poverty, chastity and obedience, and for love of you to serve the poor.”
[Her] kaleidoscope of apostolic works which brought so much spiritual and material benefit to many is an example of the great things God can do in those who are entirely dedicated to him.
